The Live Oak Market is open for the 2008 season . The market starts at 10am and runs until 2pm.The market is opening a month early this year so the bulk of the produce will not be seen until late May, early June. We will have a good line-up this year with a new dose of farms and non-farms along with all your old favorites. TLC Ranch will be adding the Live Oak market this season, selling their pasture raised eggs, pasture raised pork and also selling local 100% grass-fed beef. Along side Shady Todd’s espresso bar and coffee cart, Frog Hollow Farm and Pastries will be selling their fresh, tree-ripe fruit tarts and breakfast pastries. New this season will be H & H Fresh Fish and Conscious Creations Kitchen(currently at the Westside F.M.).

Conscious Creations Kitchen is the brain-child of local chef, Joshua Server. He has created a venue at the farmers market that uses produce from local farms, meats from organic and pasture-raised sources, farmers market eggs and fresh seafood. The result is a diverse and exciting menu that changes with the season and offers only the best in local fresh ingredients. To learn more: http://www.conscious-creations.org/
