Where can you find the finest and freshest seasonal foods, including fresh and home-canned fruits and vegetables, along with farm-fresh, cage-free eggs, local honey, flowers, plants, gifts, Texas wines, and fresh baked goods? The answer is the 505 Exit Farmers Market in Kerrville. Additionally, the market features an assortment of specialty vendors such as the Red Door Creamery, which offers Grade A raw milk and artisan cheeses made from goat’s milk. Meats include organic chicken and beef and grass-fed lamb, along with fresh fish and seafood.

For an amazing hand-tossed salad, pick up some traditionally-crafted vinegar from The Vinegar Joint, some 100 percent Texas-grown extra virgin olive oil, and some aquaponic greens. Don’t neglect your four-legged friends—give them the highest-quality doggie treats from the Lucky Dogs Bakery. Be sure to bring your knives to have them professionally sharpened, and browse a fabulous selection of soy candles and fair-trade baskets. Pick up lunch or dinner from an array of prepared and ready-to-go meals, including smoked chicken and wood-fired pizzas. After shopping, don’t miss out on a relaxing chair massage from a licensed massage therapist before going on your way.
