Have questions about the Victoria TX Farmers Market? Find answers in our FAQs, courtesy of the Food Bank of Golden Crescent. Learn about shopping local. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS When and where is the Victoria Farmers’ Market? Our market is held every Wednesday and Saturday, rain or shine, in the parking lot of the Pattie Dodson Public Health Center at 2805 North Navarro. Regular operating hours are 9:00 to 1:00. From June through September we move to summer hours of 9:00 to 12:00. How can I become a vendor? Which vendors are at the market this week? We post a vendor & product list to Facebook and Instagram the day before each market. Why aren’t you accepting craft vendors? We are a true farmers’ market, focusing primarily on food, and the majority of our customers are people buying their weekly groceries. We strictly limit the number of artisans and crafters at the market in order to keep our emphasis on locally homegrown and homemade foods. MLMs and direct sales are prohibited. Why aren’t there more farmers at the market? Recruiting produce vendors is a top priority. Simply put, there are more older and retiring farmers than young farmers getting into the game. It's not an easy job. Land is expensive, and weather (extreme heat, drought, freezes) means that only so much of a farmer's success is in their own hands. How can I use my SNAP at the farmers' market? How is the farmers’ market connected to the Food Bank? Prior to 2016, the market was run by the farmers themselves under the guidance of the County Ag Extension agent. At the request of the farmers, the market was made an official program of the Food Bank of the Golden Crescent and as such is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. One benefit to this partnership is that farmers have the option of donating unsold produce to the Food Bank at the end of each market.
