DiIorio Farms & Roadside Market is sposed to be good.
And they are the 'Watermelon Capital of Texas'.

Wow, great info! Any of them you recommend over the others?

Yeah, it's out on 290 a while. They've got a great roadside market.
Admittedly, I haven't been there in a few years but they always had great
produce, plants, and other yard "decorations."
And thanks to the one on South Congress (Saturdays, 8 am to 1 pm, parking
lot of El Gallo, across from St. Edward's), we've been enjoying the finest
of asparagus for three weeks now. Someone was asking here or in a.g. not
long ago about started chile plants; not yet, but someone here will
certainly have some one of these times.
Don't forget Boggy Creek Farm right here in town; follow this link for
directions. Amazing organic produce. And very nice people.
Support your local grower.
