East Texas Outdoor Activities for June 

After you finish one of our gourmet breakfasts of omelets, quiches, fresh fruit and more, you’ll want to stretch your legs. These activities are just a short drive away.

Tyler Farmers Markets 

This is the time of year for fresh produce, and the best place to find it is at the Farmer’s Market. The Rose City Farmer’s Market is a producer’s only farmer’s market. That means everything sold there was grown by the person selling it.

To sell produce, vendors must live within 75 miles of the market. They’re

required to use organic or natural methods to produce what they sell, so you know what you buy wasn’t exposed to synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. Vendors grow fruits and vegetables from non-GMO seeds and make animal products from livestock that is humanely raised.

The Farmer’s Market isn’t just a place to buy food, it’s a community gathering. Interact with local artists and musicians and, if you’re there between 8:30 and 9:30, participate in yoga on the patio. Then shop for the following:

• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Herbs
• Pasture-raised beef, lamb and pork
• Free-range chicken and turkey and non-GMO eggs
• Goat cheese
• Fresh flowers
• Artisanal breads and pastries
• Local jams, jellies and honey
• East Texas fruit wines
• Handcrafted art and apparel

Visit the Rose City Farmer’s Market any Saturday from 8-12 at 236 South Broadway.  

That’s not your only option for top quality local goods. Tyler Farmer’s Market is in the Broadway Square Mall parking lot and is open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 7am to 2pm through September 1. The East Texas State Fair Farmer’s Market is at the fairgrounds and offers produce Tuesday and Saturday from 7am to 1pm.

Fresh Nights 

Summer weekend nights, locals go to Fresh. Fresh by Brookshires is an upscale grocery store that makes grocery shopping feel like an indulgence, but you don’t even have to go inside to experience the community gathering atmosphere it’s famous for

Friday and Saturday evenings during summer they offer live music on the patio. Grab a bite from the grill or sip something cool while you relax, people watch and listen to the free entertainment.

Couples just starting their night on the town mingle with families sunburned from a day at the lake. You’ll see as many people in heels as in flip flops, but everyone on the patio is laid back and content. See the entertainment schedule during your visit on their calendar.
