Meet the dynamic duo behind R&D Natural Living: Raa and Des! 🌱

Founded in 2021, their journey began with a passion for natural living and a desire to collaborate full-time. Raa delved into researching various methods of extracting essential oils from the flowers and herbs Des cultivated at home.

Driven by Des's allergies to mainstream skincare, they initially crafted natural beauty and body products, birthing R&D Natural Perfumery. Their innovation didn't stop there. Experimenting with homegrown ingredients and expanding their garden, they evolved into R&D Natural Living, offering an array of holistic products.

➡️ Come say hi this Sunday, meet Raa & Des, and discover their favorite products! From 'Chimi Chimi Bang Bang' to their flagship scent 'Kiss from a Rose,' there's something for everyone.

Bay Area Farmers Market is held in the parking lot of Baybrook Mall (in front of Total Wine, next to Sleep Number), EVERY Sunday, 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.!

Enjoy talking to BAFM's producers (or their knowledgeable employees) about their products - their practices, recipes, ingredients, etc. Experience the true farmers market concept by getting to know your farmer, your rancher, your beekeeper, YOUR PRODUCER, and make informed decisions about the products you purchase for you and your family. (**Exception is made to BAFM's "producer-only" policy with approval for certain vendors to buy produce and/or fruit directly from the farm and sell it at the farmers market with full transparency.)

Bay Area Farmers Market is fortunate to have a variety of local, small-scale farmers bringing their grass-fed and/or pasture raised livestock (beef, goat, pork, poultry), micro-greens, farm eggs, raw local honey, mushrooms, etc. to our farmers market each week.
However, since Bay Area Farmers Market relies on small-scale local farmers to also bring their SEASONAL PRODUCE to the market, please realize that due to circumstances out of the farmers' control, at times they may have little or [even] no produce to bring to the market. We ask for our customers' understanding, patience, positive thoughts and prayers during those times, and ask that they continue to show support for our small-scale Texas farmers and the many other quality producers at Bay Area Farmers Market!
