McKinney St.
The market, organized with Casey Barbles, curator of the Rice Village and Heights Mercantile farmers markets, will continue through 2023, according to Brookfield. First up, tomorrow March 1, is the farmers market on Smith St. at Allen Center. The second new farmers market debuts March 8 on McKinney St. at Houston Center a few blocks from Discovery Green.
When it’s time to shop, expect to peruse locally sourced produce, baked goods and other food products and crafts. Sponsored by Activated by Brookfield Properties, the company’s tenant engagement platform, the events are part of an effort to build a sense of community, while providing experiences for employees. The markets come with the rise of remote work, and landlords and companies are creating places and programs that give people more reasons to show up.
Just in time for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the inaugural markets will have a cool custom hat-making booth from Magnolia Mercantile. Other vendors include Wood Duck Farmers, Cranky Carrot Juice Co, Sadie’s Select, Reishi & Health, Grammy’s Cookie Jar, Erbe Ranch, La Lydia, ABJ Farms, Jani’s Waffles, Lather and Co, and Migaloo Chocolatier.
To recap, the Smith Street Farmers Market at Allen Center, 1200 Smith St., will be held on the first and third Wednesdays of the month. The market kicks off March 1, then returns March 15. The McKinney Street Farmers Market, 1221 McKinney St., will be held on the second and fourth Wednesdays, March 8 and March 22. Hours are 10:30-1:30pm.

The “research-driven” product line was developed by Revive Biotech, a health and wellness company headquartered in The Woodlands. Slimane Aboulkacem and his Chief Medical Advisor and co-founder, Jeffrey Pruski, focused on developing and manufacturing effective, high-quality pain-relief products.
“Through our global research consortium and tech innovations, we are breaking through a market saturated with varying qualities of hemp-based products to deliver well-researched, advanced solutions that are more effective and affordable for consumers and enable people to revive, move, sleep and feel better for a better quality of life,” Aboulkacem explains.
The new Revive Biotech product line features potent THC-free pain-relief topicals and drops made with carefully selected ingredients from distinguished hemp farms in Oregon. The lineup includes balms, creams, roll-ons, drops and gummies, offering varying strengths of CBD derivatives to aid in pain relief, sleep and overall wellness. All products undergo an extensive three-stage R&D protocol.
Revive Biotech employs pain-management doctors, pharmacologists and organic chemists, and partners with renowned public universities and companies in the U.S. and abroad to formulate and test its products.
The new hemp-based products are available online and at a soon-to-open retail location in Huntsville.
