Harvest House to add farmers market to rotating events this fall

Harvest House will bring a fresh farmers market to its location this fall, owner Hannah Burks confirmed.

The details: Burks said the Harvest House Farmers Market will focus on fresh produce, flowers, baked goods, handmade items and local goods.

“Our goal is to keep it feeling like a true farmers market, with an emphasis on local growers, makers and producers,” she said. “We’d especially love to see fresh produce, locally baked bread, eggs, flowers, honey, dairy and other locally grown or produced goods, along with a thoughtful selection of handmade items. We want to be intentional about the vendor mix so that it doesn’t become oversaturated with any one category.”

The markets are scheduled for Sundays from noon-4 p.m. and Thursdays from 5-8 p.m. Burks said she hopes to debut the market within the next few weeks and have them run through the end of November. Harvest House will also host a special Christmas and holiday market in December.

The backstory: Hannah Burks and her husband, Matt Burks, became the new owners of Harvest House in June, according to previous reporting.

The first public air taxi test in Texas debuted in Fort Worth Sept. 10 with an audience that included U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy, Sen. Ted Cruz and numerous federal, state and regional leaders.

The takeaway: The Texas Department of Transportation, in partnership with the Federal Aviation Administration, officially launched Project Nexus at Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport. The project is a pilot program for electric vertical takeoff and landing, or eVTOLs.

The initiative will bring together federal, state and regional transportation leaders with aviation manufacturers and operators to begin testing how advanced air mobility can be safely integrated into the nation’s transportation system, according to a news release.

“For those of y'all who are old enough to remember 'The Jetsons,' I remember flying cars and we’re at the verge of seeing flying cars,” Cruz said. “We’re at the verge of air taxis and drones and transportation being transformed.”
