Parks Legado Farmers Market returns for 2024 season

ODESSA, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) – The 2024 season of the Parks Legado Farmers Market begins on Saturday, promising to surpass all previous markets in scale and offerings.

The Parks Legado Parks Center said visitors can expect a wide array of vendors, showcasing fresh produce, eggs, bread, meats, jams, jellies, honey, baked goods, and more. All of this is accompanied by live music, food trucks, activities for kids, as well as backyard games.

“Our vision for Parks Legado was that it would serve as a gathering place for West Texas, so to see thousands of West Texans come out for each market and support these local farmers and small businesses has been amazing. It takes a lot of hard work from over 100 families to make this short, 4-hour event happen each month,” said Collin Sewell, Founder of the Parks Legado Town Center.

“Our journey began in 2005 with a small garden to keep us busy in the summer. Over the years, it has blossomed into a thriving produce and meats venture, with plans for further expansion and the establishment of a meats processing facility. Additionally, we now offer custom processing services for individuals interested in having their own livestock processed,” shared Trevor Schwartz, a West Texas farmer who has been with the Parks Legado Farmers market since it began.

The first Market of the season will be from 8am to 12pm on Saturday, June 8. The event will take place every second Saturday of each month between June and October, also from 8am to 12pm.
