Guide to farmers markets around Dallas-Fort Worth

NF_DallasFM2.jpgGuys, it is time to grab your shopping totes and small bills and head to a farmer's market. The farmers are out there if you know where to look -- namely, anywhere on this list of farmers markets in and around Dallas-Fort Worth.

Saturday is still the best day to shop, although a few markets have added or plan to add other days. The Dallas market is open daily, but you'll find the most interesting vendors on Saturday there too.

What will you find? Squash, berries, onion and other regional produce items are coming into season. But at various markets you'll also find extras like pastured meats, eggs, fresh baked goods, jams and jellies and more. Take the time to look around and meet the vendors -- they're happy to tell you about their products.

The Dallas market is experimenting with new signs to help shoppers identify true farmers. The one shown on this basket of potatoes is an early experiment, but the final signs will be different.

Remember, we don't grow pineapples in Texas, so anybody selling pineapples is probably not a local farmer. It's simple when you think about it.

Tell us: What cool stuff have you found at local markets?
