Bastrop County Cares

The Bastrop County Local Food Fair is back for 2025: A celebration of community, connection, and the vibrant local food economy. This family-friendly event brings together farmers, ranchers, nonprofits, and food system partners to highlight the best of what’s grown and made right here in Bastrop County. At the Local Food Fair, you’ll find a lively farmers market filled with fresh, locally grown products, along with a farmer panel where producers will share insights about the future of local food in our community. Visitors can enjoy tastings of delicious samples prepared with ingredients from area growers and food makers. Families are encouraged to bring the kids, who will have plenty to do, including a special passport activity. Children can collect stamps at vendor booths and earn $5 to spend on local food, giving them a fun and interactive way to learn about where their food comes from. The Local Food Fair is more than just an event, it’s a celebration of Bastrop County’s growing local food economy. It’s a chance to discover fresh, healthy options grown close to home while building connections with the farmers, ranchers, and food partners who work every day to nourish our community.
