Guys are you kidding me right now!?!?!?!

Now yall are just showing off. That's how you go out with a bang for our last Smithville Farmers Market.

Wow, we're blown away by the support we've received the last couple days! As always, Smithville (and beyond), you have shown up for us and we have felt it and appreciate it more than y'all know!

We'd love to share some of our story:
We moved to Smithville a few years ago with the plans of continuing our M-F jobs and giving our son (aka Bubby) the best small town life we could. BBQ and restaurant business were never something we planned or dreamed of, but boy did God know better than us! Jay's passion for slow-smoked meats quickly turned into a small business, eventually leading to Kailee creating some sides to go with it. We joined Smithville Farmers Market and knew if it was meant to grow, it would. And boy did it! Through major challenges, juggling multiple jobs, welcoming another baby boy, and countless sleep deprived nights and days, we are beyond blessed to be opening a permanent location to bring y'all our Pit Smoked Perfection on a regular basis. Along this journey, we were lucky enough to meet The Blackmore family ( Your Mom's ) and they quickly became family to us. They've believed in us from the beginning and are entrusting us with a space that's already full of love. We are honored and can't wait to make them proud!

We fully know we will face more challenges, but we are relying on the constant and continued support of this town and beyond to keep us going and help us thrive! We hope each and every one of you along this journey with us knows that you've truly changed our lives and given us a home here in Smithville!!! We promise to continue to consistently bring you our mouth-watering BBQ and signature sides that you know and love, and give back the love that you've given us!

Cheers to officially opening the doors of Bubby's BBQ in Smithville, TX in December 2024!

We wouldn't be where we are if it wasn't for Smithville Farmers Market !!!!!! They gave us a platform to spread our wings and have supported us every step of the way. They're the reason we've gotten to serve y'all our food on a regular basis and are the reason we can comfortably and confidently make the leap to a brick and mortar location. Please come see us this Sunday, but more importantly, continue to support these incredible vendors!!!!!! We sure will!

✨ Vendor Spotlight ✨

Did you hear the big news?! Another one of our vendors is taking flight!

While it's a little bittersweet for us, we are SO excited to share that Bubby's BBQ is taking the next big step in their business journey! After 1.5 years of serving up mouth-watering BBQ at the Smithville Farmers Market, they are moving to a brick-and-mortar location just a hop, skip, and a jump away to continue bringing their delicious flavors to our community! 🐄 🐖🐓

Jay, Kailee- Your farmers market family couldn't be more proud of you and we thank you for taking that initial leap with us when we launched the market two summers ago. We feel so honored to have been a part of your journey and are wishing you nothing but the best. We can't wait to watch you soar!

To our farmers market community- Please join us THIS Sunday as we send them off with all the love and support they've given us! 🙌 💖 It's the perfect chance to congratulate them on this incredible milestone and, of course, enjoy some of the BEST BBQ in town one last time at the market.

Let’s make this send-off one for the books— stop by, grab your favorite BBQ dish, and wish Bubby and his family all the best on their exciting new adventure. 🎉

SURPRISE!!!!!! We are so excited for this opportunity!
You asked and we are delivering. Stay tuned for opening date.

We’ve got BIG news!

To our dear customers… we have some changes coming up to share with you. As some of y’all may know we have a sauce we make that we call “Mojo Glaze”.. it’s what we use on our brussels sprouts and has been really popular. It has always been our intention to bottle this product and others that have been popular in the restaurant… so we will be converting the other half of the restaurant space that we divided off into manufacturing space. We are super excited to be able to start manufacturing our products!

More news… we have decided to hand over the keys to the restaurant space to dear friends of ours who are ready to convert to a brick-n-mortar… Bubby’s BBQ! We see ourselves in this sweet family when we were just starting our restaurant many years ago. They will treat their customers with the same love and care we have given ours. Plus it brings our community a new sit down food option with great BBQ.

More news… Hope Floats will remain open and continue to have ice cream, gelato, desserts, espresso, smoothies, smoothie bowls etc… BUT we will be adding on pizza, sandwiches, pasta dishes, salads, soups, bowls, wraps & more for lunch and dinner. This menu will be made up of majority non-gmo or organic ingredients.

So our family will still be feeding and serving our community… just with a different menu while keeping on a few favs like brussels sprouts or pot roast. So this isn’t goodbye… it’s just us shifting over to Hope Floats to bring y’all different types of food and free up some of our time to get our manufacturing off the ground.

When? We are aiming for first week of December. Your Mom’s will remain open thru November 30th… so you have the rest of November to come in and have our chicken fried steak or whatever your favorite menu item may be.

We love y’all and hope y’all are as excited as we are about these changes. We can’t wait to bring y’all a different menu at Hope Floats! We’ll keep y’all updated on that… new menu will be posted soon.

Also keep an eye on Bubby’s BBQ for their grand opening announcement.

Much love,
The Blackmore Fam 💕

Sunday's spread is so good, it's almost sinful! Brisket, Habanero Honey Ribs, and Chicken are the main events, with Gigis tater salad and Jalapeno cream corn as the perfect sidekicks. Swing by 10am-2pm before it's gone!
