"When: every Saturday from 9am to 1pm Braeswood Farmers Market is the quintessential family-friendly market. Aside from being in the parking lot of a preschool, the Bellaire market keeps at least one stand with stuffed rabbit plushies next to seasonal eggplant. And with a handful of vendors, you can work through the entire market and stop at the lamb samosas stand in under an hour. Spend your weekend mornings here when it’s time to re-up on elderberry syrup, grab a spread of carrot jam, or have a little peace while kids roam free on the school’s monkey bars." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene, julie takahashi
