03 Jan Barton Creek Farmers Market Starts 2013 with Music Series

Now at two locations: Barton Creek Mall and Highland Mall, Barton Creek Farmers Markets brings food, arts and people together. Barton Creek Farmers Market is starting 2013 by announcing the introduction of the Barton Creek Farmers Market Music Series starting January 5th with local Austin musician, Shelley King.  King’s roustabout, N'awlins-style arrangements back up her rich, burnished, lived-in voice to truly goosebump-worthy effect to bring Austin style excitement to Saturday morning at Barton Creek Farmers Market. She's playing live at Barton Creek Farmers Market behind an excellent new album, Welcome Home.

Barton Creek Farmers Market’s Sunday venue at Highland Mall hosts Darrin Kobetich, Ralph White and the Susquehanna Hat Company for a cornucopia of bluegrass, Mountain string, folk music and more. Austin foodies and farmers market fans will find much to love in Shelley Kings performance and the toe-tapping performances on Sunday. 

Barton Creek Farmers Market is a place to find nutrient-dense, local organic produce, meet the farmers and know your foods, to meet food artisans and find creative ideas as well as prepared treats.
