Caninos Farmers Market(And more) in Houston!

   

\

      We have different Farmers Markets in Houston. The one that I have gone to since I was young is known as  "Caninos Produce Co.". They have a 4.0 our of 5.0 Stars on Google Reviews. Most of the Produce is quite fresh and the further you walk back the riper and cheaper it gets. I recommend walking around first and asking for prices before you settle down on a buy. It can get very crowded and very hot during the summer. A lot of the Trucks are unloading produce in the back so you will experience some heat waves from all the motors but if you plan on staying in the front, you will be fine. Here are some things you will need or might want to bring:

CASH(They have an ATM in the front). Sunscreen. A hat, sunglasses and maybe a scarf(Some kind of protection ESPECIALLY during the Summer). A pair of dark shoes(You don't want to bring white shoes if you don't want to get them dirty! It gets very crowded but it's unlikely that someone will step on you). Your own bag or Reusable bags(C'mon guys, please recycle!). Water(They also sell drinks) And a little bit of knowledge in the Language of Spanish! Uno, dos, tres, cuatro! Vamonos! 

At Sprouts or your local Groceries store, a small jar of organic honey typically costs you around $15 or more. A big Jar of honey at Caninos can be $15-$20. The Jar is big enough to last you three months? Maybe even a year depending on how much you use honey. They also have a Gallons worth of Honey.

They also have homemade jellies and jam! As well as other spices and dried fruits/nuts!
Sorry. I don't have pictures.):

If you want ripe and really really really cheap produce go to the back where it says "El Tule Farms". Don't be afraid to negotiate on the prices! There are tons of different sellers so be careful not to get ripped off by another.

Tamarindo candy! There are two kinds.
This sweet one and
 a darker reddish colored one
 which is more spicy.

Some don't come already cut,
a man cuts them right in front of you for you!
Make sure to leave him a tip.
 It's hard work to peal a coconut in such a short amount of time. 

I can't give you too much information on the prices because they change with season and the ripeness of the produce but I can tell you that my family spends under $35 on a week and a half worth of fruits and veggies.

We did buy more vegetables, I just didn't take pictures sorry.

Don't forget to visit the bakery in front of Caninos. El Bolillo.

I will make a review on that later!

Here's a picture of me after Caninos.
I'm wearing a floral printed crop top from f21.
A high-waisted Jean skirt from TJ Max the brand is bcbg.
 And rialto comfort clogs. I also applied SPF 50 sunblock!

There are tons of little restaurants around the area in case you get hungry after all that heat and walking(if you didn't snack on everything you saw already at caninos lol)!
