Sprout’s Farmers Market in North Austin

22nd March, 2010 - Posted by katherine - No Comments

This is old news to most, but a new grocery store opened in North Austin a few months ago, Sprout’s Farmers Market. Not to be confused by our recent comparison of the farmer’s markets in Austin, Sprouts is not really a farmer’s market, but a grocery store that says they specialize in fresh produce, using local when possible. I went a couple of weeks ago and thought the produce did look really fresh, and they had a good variety of organic packaged food and environmentally friendly cleaners. It was similar to Whole Foods, but much smaller and less crowded, and compared to the Whole Foods in North Austin, it was easier to navigate through the parking lot.  I would recommend checking it out if you don’t feel like dealing with the crowds at Whole Foods and HEB and you need fresh fruits and veggies.
