From First Friday celebrations to free yoga, here’s what to expect from your local farmers markets this weekend.
Coppell Farmers Market
8 a.m. to noon, Saturday
Aside from different varieties of squash, this market also offers specialty produce such as mushrooms, herbs, and wheatgrass. This weekend, you’ll also find bone broth, Alaskan salmon, and drinkable goat milk yogurt. While at the market, shop for fresh produce such as new potatoes, bell pepper, and green onions. Aside from meat, dairy, and produce, the market also had different products such as room sprays, sugar scrub, and doggie biscuits, too. Here’s a full list of what the market will have this weekend.
Looking Ahead: Starting Aug. 13, the market will hand out $2,000 in vouchers to young customers in an effort to teach healthy buying habits. This program is the direct result of a grant from the Farmers Market Coalition and Chipotle. Learn more about the program here.

Tonight, the market will host a First Friday celebration, which will kick off National Farmers Market Week. the market will be open until 9 p.m., and Mudhen will be open until 10 p.m., offering $3 draft beers.

Get to the market early and explore the the 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.
If you work or live downtown and want to get to the market during the week, keep this in mind: the market is now offering free shuttle rides throughout the week.
