The People That Make It Possible

At The Junction Area Farmers Market, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do without our dedicated team behind us. Our committed market manager and board of directors goes above and beyond to make sure you have the most positive experience yet. Highly involved with the greater Junction community, our team does their best to maintain all aspects of our Market — and we couldn’t be any happier to work on building a beautiful market.

Jamie Sadler Edwards

Market Manager

Jamie and her family moved to Junction in August of 2022. Before settling in Junction, the "Sadwards" family lived in Calliham, Goliad, Denison, and Corpus Christi. If you're a State Parks enthusiast, you might have noticed a theme: Jamie's husband, Cody, is the current Park Superintendent at South Llano River State Park, and it's this role that happily landed the family in Junction for the foreseeable future.

Almost immediately upon arrival, Jamie and her daughter Elena became near-weekly fixtures at the Farmers Market - Elena with her tortilla blanket and wolf hat and Jamie with her books. When not at the market, you can usually find Jamie and her two dogs (Leela and Fry) hiking the backcountry trails at the State Park; her two favorites are the Frontera Trail and the East Ridge Trail.

Candace Morrison

Founder, Past Market Manager

Although Candace stepped away from managing the Market after three seasons, we want to honor the indelible mark she has left on our community here. Candace founded the Junction Area Farmers Market in 2020 during the height of the pandemic, and the Farmers Market as served as an outdoor gathering space for locals and visitors alike ever since.

Candace still picks up the wheels of her coffee trailer, The Honey Bean, each Saturday and serves coffee, tea, and pastries to both guests and vendors at market. She is a avid kayaker, snowboarder, surfer, runner, triathlon participant and traveler. If you are ever passing through Junction, stop by and sip a cup of coffee with us, visit the river, and shop the market.
