fresh from the farm.

The summer heat is rising but there is nothing better than a juicy mango to cool things down. Raspberries have just arrived at the Farmer's Market this past week--they are delicious.

DALLASight Down Low: If you go to the market during the week, there will be less of a crowd and less farmers, but the same selection of produce. It is also fun to go during the weekend because there are more vendors (more farmers=more samples). Searching for parking may be difficult on the weekends, but I found a great lot that is practically empty and right next to the market. Park on Taylor Street & Central--it is directly behind the vendors.

The Farmer's Market, located off Pearl Street, offers all the fruit and veggies that you crave...and if you want to try giving farming in the city a try, you can buy your own plants! Dont forget that you CAN negotiate prices and you CAN mix and match fruit if they are both offered as "2 for $3" . Have fun, bring cash, bring your dog, and bring a tote to carry your food!

Did you know?
The Dallas Farmer's Market is the largest farmer's market in the nation. Over 1 million Dallasites enjoy the local produce each year.

Order one of these cute bags that turns into a small ball when not in use! http://www.flipandtumble.com/
