Since its establishment in 2008, the Winnsboro Farmers’ Market has continually evolved to meet changing market dynamics. Initiated by city officials, the market solidified its operations with established by-laws in 2010, along with comprehensive rules and regulations for vendors. To extend its season beyond April to October, an online store was introduced, serving as an accessible option for shoppers to connect with local farmers, makers, and bakers. These collective efforts not only bring together discerning shoppers but also bolster the local economy and nurture community bonds. These endeavors have garnered recognition, with the market earning the 2018 Best Produce category in County Line’s Best of the Upper East Side contest, along with previous accolades such as the 2011 American Farmland Trust organization’s 2nd Favorite Farmer’s Market in Texas award.

Kevin Lundgren, a fifth-generation farmer, is the proud owner of Lund Produce Company. Since 1991, he has been revitalizing 11 acres of land, transforming it into the thriving Brachgrove Farm, located just 35 miles from downtown Austin. Notably, Kevin's expertise caught the attention of a neighboring family with a history of shallot cultivation dating back to the 1800s. Entrusting him with their surviving shallot plants, Kevin's skillful nurturing led to a substantial harvest in 2008, allowing him to supply local Whole Foods stores and directly serve families by 2009. Brachgrove Farm doesn't stop at shallots; it boasts an array of crops, from Oxblood lilies and onions to corn and broccoli. Kevin's sustainable farming practices and commitment to providing fresh, locally grown produce underline his deep connection to the land and passion for cultivating a variety of delightful vegetables. The Lund Produce Company has been featured on TRF's Kim's List. Read the blog entry on 6 Sustainable Farms in Elgin You Can Buy Organic Produce From
