Stock Up On Locally Grown Produce at this Lubbock Market

One of my favorite parts of summer is all of the beautiful plants growing, including the plentiful gardens all around town.

I’ve been growing my own salsa garden for a few years now, and it is always so satisfying to grow your own food and share it with the people around you. While I just grow enough for friends and family, there are some folks around town that grow lots of produce and want to share them with the community.
