Get excited, everyone! Winter is winding down to its last days. Starting March 20, we can look forward to Easter eggs, spring cleaning, and strawberries coming back into season (finally!). Oh, and crawfish season is in full swing! But alas, let’s return to the items that will be at the markets this weekend.
Coppell Farmers Market: Coppell is still in their weekend market season and will be closed this Saturday. Mark your calendars for April 6 because that is when they will be open every weekend! Check back next week for happenings at Coppell.

Cowtown Farmers Market: The next farmers market to kick off its spring season is Cowtown’s Westside location!
