Dallas’ Best Farmers Markets — 5 Spots For Great Produce and More

The Dallas area is home to one of the biggest and best city farmers markets. It also has some of the nicest suburban spots, particularly up north. New markets are popping up in parking lots this summer and some just finished hosting their own family fairs. Fresh produce, breads, and arts and crafts can be found all across the city if you just know where to look.

Here are Dallas’ best farmers markets:

Dallas Farmers Market

920 S. Harwood Street

Dallas’ biggest and most well-known farmers market, The Shed at Dallas Farmers Market is open on Saturdays from 9 am to 5 pm and Sundays from 10 am to 5 pm. The Shed is an open-air pavilion that has tons of vendors for fresh produce, breads, regional and international foods. There are also arts and crafts vendors throughout the year.

Also open seven days a week are The Market shops, a 26,000 square foot food hall and artisanal vendor market with numerous food stands. And it’s all downtown.

White Rock Local Market

9150 Garland Road

A part of Good Local Markets, a nonprofit organization, White Rock Local Market began in 2009 in East Dallas. The market runs on Saturdays from 8 am to 1 pm, from the months of March to December.
