Located just west of Bastrop, TX off Hwy71, it’s an indoor farmers market open 5 days a week during evening commuter hours and weekends, where one person sells for many individual producers. It allows producers to sell at fair farmers market retail prices without sacrificing the time to be at market. And it allows for the individuality of the local producer, by offering room for the farm/producer to be identified, post photos, recipes, general information and sales points, can make an informed decision.

Bastrop Producers Market, Inc. (BPM, Inc.) is made up of different kinds of producers, with an emphasis on local sustainable and organic food production. Since we opened in mid-June, we have attracted a wonderful assortment of vendors. Each week brings another new vendor and more products our customers request. Come and support this new idea in local markets. It’s easier to eat well and support local food at fair prices! We take VISA/MC credit cards, cash and checks.

We are in the big red building hidden by native trees and bushes, off the eastbound lane, southside of Hwy 71E, between FM20 and SH21 just west of Bastrop. There is a 2 way access road that runs beside Hwy71 at this point, starting at the Ford dealership just east of 21 and ending at the roadside park at FM20 and Hwy71. We are on that road about .6mi east of the Ford dealership. We are a block west of Bastrop Auto Works. There are several places along the highway to get onto this road, so don’t worry if you pass us. it’s a two way road. Look for our sign Bastrop Producers Market, a 2ft by 15ft banner that says “A New Kind of Farmer’s Market” and the 4ft “Open” sign waving in the wind. If the two main gates are open, the market is open. Walk up the 10ft wide ramp and turn right. Welcome!

For those who read the wonderful TOFGA (Texas Organic Farmers and Gardeners Assoc) newsletter article about BPM, Inc, there was an error that needs correcting. While originally we were going to charge a monthly fee and percentage, we soon realized that to help this market get started, we had to change that. So we now only charge a 20% sales fee, after taxes. That’s it. Also, we have taken on a local conventional farmer (between the ideal and the real there is the tomato) to help us keep going until we can get more folks growing. We do provide information on our producers so customers
