There are big doings at the City of Dallas Farmers Market, as completion nears on the revamped Shed No. 2. This is the big, barnlike structure at the north end of the market; it has been completely enclosed ('about time), with AC and heat installed and insulation visible on the ceiling. I stopped by on Sunday, and we've now got an empty concrete shell with a handful of businesses still hanging in bravely. But in the not-too-distant future we should see a new landscape of vendors. As for true local farmers and farm dealers, there are a handful showing up in Shed No. 1, but it's still too early for most local fruits and veggies. Instead, you'll see a lot of starter plants, a handful of onions and potatoes, and some hothouse tomatoes. The rest of the produce is the same imported stuff you see at the supermarket. But it's fun to get out and walk the stalls as the weather warms up. You can learn a little more about the market here. (Pssst. Hey, guys: It's time to update the class schedule for spring.) |

Kim - do you know where I can get Philomena bread? I used to see them sporadically in Shed 2, and the stuffed bread and wine crackers are great.
