A Peek at Our Community's Open-Air Markets and What Makes Each One Unique

There’s just something about the Spring air that begs for a stroll along the aisles of a farmer’s market. For some, it’s the draw of fresh produce while others find the eggs to be the item of desire.

Whatever the desire, The Woodlands area boasts an impressive variety of markets, each with its own unique style.
