Amid long lines and rationed stock at grocery stores around the Austin area, the Texas Farmers’ Market will open its two locations this weekend for shoppers.
Michele Golden, a media relations representative for Texas Farmers’ Market, said the open-air markets at Lakeline Mall at 11200 Lakeline Mall Drive, Cedar Park, and at Mueller at 4209 Airport Blvd., Austin, with farm stands selling fresh produce and other goods.
The market at Lakeline Mall will be open from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. The Texas Farmers Market at Mueller will be open from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Texas Farmers’ Market is asking the public for donations to support its farmer and rancher producers who have been affected by the recent winter storm.
TGS has asked its customers to reduce natural gas usage inside their homes to help reduce the number of outages in the Austin area.
Gas customers can reduce usage by lowering temperatures on thermostats and water heaters, changing or cleaning the filter on furnaces, sealing windows with blankets or towels, and closing blinds and curtains to preserve energy, according to the Feb. 16 email from Texas Gas Service. Customers are also asked to hold off on using high-energy appliances such as dishwashers and laundry machines.
“We’ll be your excuse not to do chores for another day or so. . If everyone can lower your consumption a little bit, it’s going to make a big difference for everybody,” Penders said.
