While at the market, shop for fresh produce such as new potatoes, bell pepper, and green onions. Shoppers will also find soy candles, sugar scrub, and doggie biscuits, too. Here’s a full list of what the market will have this weekend.

Dallas Farmers Market

As part of the market’s cooking class series, Chef Joanne Bondy, of Stocks & Bondy, will host a demonstration on Burgundy Beef Braising. Participants will have the opportunity to co-prepare the meal alongside Bondy. Ingredients will be curated from the market as well as Texas farmers and ranchers. The class will be from 7-9 p.m. June 25, and tickets are $65. Take a look at the market’s upcoming classes here.



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.
