Canino Produce Co. has been Houston’s farmers’ market since June 1958. Over the years the size of the market has increased, and it now covers more than 20,000 square feet.

You will find lots of local and Texas fruit and vegetables at Canino, but they also bring in produce from across the U.S. and around the world. Because they are open daily, many local restaurants pick up their fresh produce here.

Astronauts, business people, performers and politicians are all represented here. What makes this collection special is not just the autographs, but what they are on. Lloyd Bentsen and James Baker signed currency bearing their printed signatures as Treasury Secretaries. Dr. Denton Cooley signed a surgical mask. Eckhard Pfeiffer (former Compaq CEO) signed the screen of a notebook computer. George Foreman signed boxing gloves. Pinkie Logan signed a Logan Ham. And Marvin Zindler signed (What else?) the door from an ice machine (see photo at left). The collection is displayed all through the store, but much of it is in their stationery department. For more information, read this story from the Houston Press.
