Event Details (Subject to Change) …


Cost: FREE for the walking tour and optional Farmers Market lunch at your own expense.


Weather: The event will take place light rain or shine - if it’s on our calendar then we’re proceeding as planned.

Dallas Farmers Market Hours: The Shed = 9:00 am to 5:00 pm & The Market = 10:00 am to 7:00 pm.


Meeting Point: 9:30 am at the Dallas Farmers Market "Shed" (123 Taylor Street - the corner of Taylor & South Pearl Expressway - Dallas). Please be on-time, or even early. Plan additional time to find parking and walk to our meeting point. Look for your hosts Robert (wearing a fedora-style hat) and Michele, along with a group of friendly people. We'll depart on our walk at 9:45.


Icebreaker Introductions: We should have a good-sized group and so instead of everyone introducing themselves to the group we will get to know each other by distributing blank stickers and colored markers and we’ll ask everyone to write down on their sticker: 1). first name. 2). favorite food. 3). dream vacation. Example: “Michele - Strawberries - Kenya” or “Robert - Chocolate - Tokyo”.


Walking Distance: Approximately 2 miles.


Photo Breaks: Yes, of course.


Itinerary: First, we’ll walk inside of the Farmers Market "Shed" and then "The Market" so people can see the available food and dining options. Next, we’ll be walking in a northwest direction on Harwood Street to the Lighthouse ArtSpace, then west on Young Street to City Hall, Pioneer Plaza and the Omni Hotel. Then we'll walk back to the Farmers Market for lunch.

Dallas Farmers Market

Nestled among the skyscrapers and the hustle of the city is a place where farmers become friends. In the middle of everything but away from it all, since 1941, the Dallas Farmers Market has been filled with wholesome produce and the collective fruits of our labor. Once a humble horse-and-wagon wholesale business, the market has grown with the city and turned into a hub for farm-fresh vegetables, dairy and more.

Today, in the heart of downtown, the Dallas Farmers Market exists to cultivate a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle for all of North Texas. Seasonal produce, free-range meats, fresh eggs, artisan pantry staples, and handmade arts + crafts can be found in The Shed every weekend year round. All products are grown and raised within Texas or 400 miles of Dallas, ensuring that the selection is always fresh, seasonal, and supports local agriculture. The Market + The Shops at Harvest and Taylor Lofts are home to locally-owned small businesses with shopping and eats throughout.
