Coppell Farmers Market

8 a.m. to noon, Saturday

Prep for your Fourth of July block party or backyard barbecue with a trip to the Coppell Farmers Market. The market will have hand-made hamburger and hotdog buns, sustainably raised beef and pork, and watermelons. Also shop for fresh produce such as new potatoes, bell pepper, and green onions. You’ll also find soy candles, sugar scrub, and doggie biscuits, too. Here’s a full list of what the market will have this weekend.

Get to the market early and explore the market’s 26,000-square-foot food hall and vendor market that houses restaurants and a mix of local specialty foods, artisanal food vendors, and seating areas. Because the size of the market can be delightfully daunting, here are a few tips on how to navigate the space. This week, you can find peaches, arugula, and blackberries. The market’s 70-plus vendors often vary but a list of current vendors can be found here. Throughout the summer, the market is hosting a series of cooking classes. Take a look at the full schedule here.

Historic McKinney Farmers Market at Chestnut Square

If you head to the market Saturday morning, browse the selection of organic fresh produce, jams and jellies, honey, fresh-cut flowers, baked goods, and grass-fed beef.
