{Waxahachie Wednesday // Waxahachie’s Farmers Market in the Fall}

There’s just something about a Saturday morning at the farmers market that makes me smile. The smell of fresh produce, the hum of conversations between neighbors, and the joy of finding that perfect pumpkin or jar of homemade jam...it all feels like small-town Texas at its best. And here in Waxahachie, our Downtown Farmers Market shines especially bright in the fall.

At the Waxahachie Farmers Market in the fall, you’ll find:

• Pumpkins galore – from big carving pumpkins to cute little gourds perfect for decorating.

• Late-summer veggies – tomatoes, squash, okra, and peppers still coming in strong.

• Fresh fruits –  with early fall apples.

• Seasonal flowers – sunflowers, marigolds, and mums add bursts of color to every booth.

• Raw milk 
  

• Pecans

• Homemade decor

• Jewelry

• Roasted coffee beans and herbal teas

• Fresh eggs
  

• Plants & Succulents
  

• Clothing

• raw pet food 

• Gardening journals & landscape manuals

• Homemade jams, salsas, apple butter, local honey, BBQ sauces & rubs, fudge, sourdough bread, baked goods, dog treats, pies (sweet potato & pumpkin), cobblers

• Crafts & handmade pottery

• Candles & wax melts

• Salves, body butters, & lip balms

• Custom blankets & quilts

It’s like walking through a seasonal hand-off, with summer waving goodbye and fall tiptoeing in.

One of my favorite parts of visiting the market is meeting the vendors. You’ll find:

• Farmers selling produce picked just hours before.

• Local bakers offering everything from sourdough loaves to cinnamon rolls.

• Artisans with handmade soaps, candles, and jewelry.

• Families selling honey, jams, and salsa that taste like Texas in a jar.

Each booth has a story, and chatting with the people behind the tables makes every purchase feel personal.

For families, the market is more than a shopping trip...it’s an experience. Kids love picking out their own pumpkins, grabbing a cookie from a local baker, or visiting with a farmer. Couples stroll hand in hand, friends bump into each other unexpectedly, and the whole building feels alive with community.

If you ask me, starting your Saturday at the Farmers Market is one of the best ways to soak up small-town Waxahachie life.

There’s something grounding about buying produce straight from the people who grew it. It makes me pause and give thanks for God’s provision, for the rhythm of the seasons, and for the simple joys of good food and good company. Plus, supporting local means investing back into our own community, and that’s always worth it.

So if you’re looking for pumpkins for your porch, fresh veggies for dinner, or just a fun family outing, make plans to stop by the Waxahachie Farmers Market this Fall. Trust me, you’ll leave with a bag full of goodies and a heart full of gratitude.
