Farmers Markets Around Fort Worth, Texas

I personally shop at these farmers markets, especially in the summer. A great benefit of shopping at these markets is that you are supporting your local farmers. Also, in this day of recalls from salmonella and E. coli, etc., it's better to know where your food it coming from.

They have a bar-b-que restaurant on site. They offer fruits, vegetables, jams, jellies, plants and planting flowers. They also sell crafts, pottery and knick-nacks by local artists. This store is open year round, 7 days a week from 8am to 7pm.
