We had heard great things about Johnson's Backyard Garden through Yelp's reviews and they have a stand at the Sunset Valley Farmer's market. The first time we went, it was one of the few that had a long line which is always a great sign.
We bought several things - a cucumber, cantaloupe, and tomatoes. All of their produce is organic and prices are better than at Central Market. The tomatoes? Oh my goodness, they were so flavorful, juicy, and sweet I wish I had bought more!
We also purchased pastured eggs. We saw on Eric Ripert's (of Le Bernardin fame, as well as a judge/guest on Top Chef) show that eggs from pastured chickens have golden yellow yolk and are much tastier so we wanted to try them. Apparently it can't be just organic - this can mean several things and not necessarily pastured.
We had also heard great things about Texas peaches. They don't distribute nationally so you can only get them in Texas. They are small, but full of flavor. Unfortunately peaches are in the dirty dozen for pesticides and no one had organic ones.
