Today there was (local everything) fresh breads, cookies, coffees, soaps, veggies/fruits, jerky, grass-fed meats, olive spreads, honey, organic spices, wines, cheeses... (might be forgetting more?) I have been to other farmers' markets, even in other states, & I think the pricing is really in line with most. Yes, it's "expensive" compared to what the U.S. bulk sales system provides, but that is also what has put so many small local vendors our of biz over the last few decades. I like meeting the people who produce/grow/process the items which are AWESOME QUALITY - can't compare to items at Kroger or WalMart. I love asking them how they got into their biz, see their passion. When I hand over my $ I feel really good knowing I'm contributing to the type of economy our country was built on. I don't want to BE the rancher or farmer, but I so appreciate others nearby still do.... Win-win :-)

Dallas Farmers Market is a fun place to take in the ambiance and people watch. Okay, it seems kind…read moreof weird that I didn't mention food, but it's because you don't necessarily need to eat the food to enjoy this place. With lots of produce, food and gift stalls, you can find something for everyone. From fresh fruit and vegetables, to jarred spreads and sauces, there is no shortage of things to look at. But be prepared for lots of people. We had reservations for a meal after hitting this place, so I didn't try any foods. It was more about walking around and checking out the sights. I'm sure at some point I'll be back, but I would set a budget. It seems like stuff could get really expensive if you're not careful.

The heat is brutal and there's very little shade in this grassy lot outside Firewheel mall. There are usually booths full of crafts from local artisans, which can can vary from crocheted doo-dads, to shiny rocks and mini 3-D printed items (keychains and the like) Usually they have jewelry. Sometimes (rarely) they have coffee and once in a while they have an ice cream or sno-cone truck. The Farmer's Market is a great idea. More consistent quality goods, more and better quality local food, more shade and free craft activities for kids would make this market really shine.

Farmers market at Firewheel is not really a farmers market. They have 1 produce stand from Heddin…read morefarms that doesn't look like most of the produce is locally grown. They won't let other vendors sell similar items, so they monopolize the produce stand. Heddin farm is the one who runs the market and I've heard that they can't stand any type of suggestions or concerns from customers. The rest of the vendors are crafters and pyramid/MLM scheme 'businesses' pretending to be entrepreneurs, selling random things akin to snake oils. I heard the vendors gossiping about each other and how slow the market is and how they don't make much money there. Why be there then if you hate being a part of it? I guess they aren't there long anyway. They go through vendors and coordinators like crazy. I went there 6 times and each time I found a vendor I actually liked they were gone the next time! The whole market seem full of drama and the ambiance is basically just hot boiling heat with little shade from the trees on dry grass and get bitten by ants. I tried to eat some of the food being cooked there and the food wasn't even good. They try to run ads on Facebook to make it seem like a fun place to be. Yeah only if you want heat stroke an to feel awkward by being the only 2 people shopping at this market. I'm done going here. Do not recommend shopping or being a vendor here. Go somewhere else.

***Update to reply to management: Consumers should be able…read moreto make informed decisions about what they're purchasing especially with the recent Cyclospora outbreak affecting produce. My issue is not that the berries are repackaged nor is it about whether berries are in season locally. My concern is the lack of transparency. To me, the presentation and lack of labeling/pricing feel misleading as a customer. For example, if commercially grown berries (such as pesticide heavy Driscolls) are repackaged into open fruit baskets and sold in a store called a farmers market with no labels, pricing, signage, or disclosure of their source unless someone specifically asks, a customer could assume they're locally grown. (I'm using Driscoll's only as an example as again, I have no idea what brand you actually sell.) There's also a food safety concern. Repackaging produce into unlabeled containers removes Traceability customers rely on. If a specific lot was recalled because of an outbreak, how would customers know whether the berries they purchased were affected? I don't work for the Texas Department of Agriculture, so I'm not claiming any of these is a violation but the lack of transparency could raise consumer protection concerns. At the end of the day I simply believe customers deserve clear information about what they're buying. I hope this helps. * Original review: Super disappointed to find out the berries on the table by checkout are not local farms but instead Repackaged Driscoll or local Walmart strawberries / blueberries / raspberries ): what the heck! They're in open plastic bags in cute little baskets

Checkout staffs weren't friendly at all, at least greet your customers with a little bit of smile and that does not cost nothing; Abegoo!

I came here to buy bags of food items to re-stock my pantry. The huge bag of Gari bought was spoilt, has foul odor and taste horrible and unfit for consumption . Everyone in the family spot confirms this immediately. I had on other occasions over looked spoilt yams bought from this store by just trashing them and moving on. But on this occasion , i had to drive 40 miles with the bag of Gari back to them ,so they could at least see for themselves what they are selling to the public. Their customer care was so poor that they refuse to even touch,smell or taste the gari to confirm. They were so rude and lack any iorta of customer care , they just told me nothing is wrong with it and nothing could be done about it. I advice them to taste from the batches of same batch of bags on the rack were it was sold from to confirm, the never bulge nor show any remorse. I was not ready to ruffle my gentleman-ship because of a bag of gari, i simply left it with them and went to a nearby African Store at Richland to buy another bag of Gari. Avoid them like plague, Worst place ever.

One of the weekends each month they do food products only, and the other Saturday it's kind of an open fair thing where anyone can go so you'll get people who make all sorts of things. We're particularly partial to the local meats from Windy Hill because they are always delicious. This lady from Waggin' Tail treats comes there a lot too and she makes the best dog treats ever. Also there's a company that brings fresh pasta called Lucido's Produce & Herbs which is phenomenal. They even have frozen ravioli in all kinds of flavors which are omgtodiefor. The vendors either take cash or check. You can get cash from inside the gas station, the cashier will do it for you for a $2 charge (like an ATM). It's in the parking lot of the Green Spot Market & Fuels, which also has probably the best taco place in Dallas (Good 2 Go Taco). Awesome! Overall, I absolutely love this part of my community and I'm going to miss it terribly when I move next year.

Super cute local market in Lakewood!…read more I think the term "farmers market" is a misnomer since there was only an itty bitty selection of produce and fresh foods. What they do offer is lots of local products like baked goods, soaps, salsas and unique crafts. I love supporting small, local businesses so this market is right up my alley. I copped some yummy French macaroons and a spicy marinade that I can't wait to try with some fish for dinner. It's small and the location changes every other week so be sure to check their website before you head out. I would definitely recommend visiting if you are in the area but I would not make a special trip or anything.
