To make the most of farm-fresh produce grown in Montgomery County, farmers markets have sprouted in multiple locations across the county.Â
The longest-established one is The Woodlands Farmers Market at Grogan’s Mill which has been in operation since 2008. Others have thrived in Montgomery, Conroe, New Caney and Magnolia.Â

The market is made up of smaller, locally owned businesses with most being located in Montgomery County. The market features artisan and hand-crafted items along with local produce and food items like olive oil, coffee, honey, bakery items and meat vendors.Â
