HOPE Farmer's Market

Pine Street Station typically acts as a live music venue and a center for art workshops, but on Sunday afternoons it is transformed into the HOPE farmer's market, which acts as a melting pot for community activists, artists, and merchants. Since October the market has been attracting a growing number of regular attendees, and for good reason.

The market boasts a large selection of vendors who promote healthy living through organic goods, from natural soaps to local grass-fed beef and buffalo. There is, accordingly, a great selection of produce, as well as fresh cut flowers and bouquets. Local producers provide recipes and cooking demonstrations, and Empower Yoga puts on 45-minute workshops at the market, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m each Sunday.

Each month a new artist designs the market's poster series; Ryan Rhodes created the January poster. Other participating artists/artisans proffer screen-printed tees, vintage cowboy boots, and delicate jewelry.

Free Guided Hikes with Bright Leaf

It's a shame to visit Austin without checking out its natural beauty and urban green space. Starting this weekend, Bright Leaf will be hosting free guided hikes one weekend a month from 9 a.m. to about 12 a.m. Bright Leaf began thanks to Philanthropist Georgia Lucas, who purchased the 216 acres of land that comprise the property. In her will she expressed a desire to conserve the land and to use it as a space for visitors to hike, meditate, relax, and enjoy nature.

In Georgia's will, she specified a desire that all hikes be guided hikes, and Bright Leaf has carried on this practice, creating a classroom setting in nature. Guides educate visitors about local vegetation, rocks, fossils, wildlife, and environmental issues. The organization also puts great emphasis on the importance of its location; its 216 acres are located within city limits, and Bright Leaf aims to counterbalance Austin's rapidly expanding urban fabric.

All guided hikes are 4 miles long, and dogs and bikes are not allowed.
