by | Jun 21, 2024

Welcome to a local gem nestled in the heart of The Woodlands, Texas – The Woodlands Farmers Market at Grogan’s Mill. Established in 2008 and affectionately known as “The Grogan’s Mill Farmers Market,” this weekly community event has evolved into a vibrant nexus for locally-sourced produce, artisan goods, and a bustling gathering spot for residents. Operated under the auspices of the Grogan’s Mill Village Association, the market makes its home at the scenic Grogan’s Mill Center, offering ample parking and easy access for those opting to walk or bike along the Mill Bend Trail. With a steadfast commitment to operating come rain or shine, the market hosts over 60 vendors each Saturday, creating a colorful tapestry of local produce, handmade items, and unique finds, all adhering to the highest standards of quality and authenticity.

What sets The Woodlands Farmers Market apart is not just the exceptional array of vendors, but its deep-rooted connection to the local community. Open from October through June from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and adopting summer hours from July to September from 9 a.m. to noon, the market is a weekly highlight for many. It’s a place where pets are warmly welcomed, each accompanied by respectful guidelines to ensure everyone’s enjoyment. Beyond providing a platform for local artisans and farmers to showcase their hard work, the market embodies a spirit of giving back. The profits generated from vendor fees and sponsorships are thoughtfully reinvested into the community through the Grogan’s Mill Village Association’s philanthropic efforts. These initiatives range from college scholarships to supporting local schools and food pantries, reinforcing the market’s role as a cornerstone of community support and engagement.
