Here we are, knee deep in 2025, and maybe the aspirations of treating yourself better this year haven’t yet come to fruition. Some of us at the Dallas Farmers Market might be feeling a bit, well, let’s just say not our best as well. Maybe. But that’s what spring is all about – new beginnings [...]
Do you sense it? That tiny hint of spring in the air? It’s enough to make the soul a bit giddy and the pups even more zoomie. It also makes this weekend the perfect time to visit the Dallas Farmers Market, where leashed pets are ALWAYS welcome, for a tail-wagging Mardi Paw good time! On [...]
Oh February, we’re never quite sure what you’re going to bring – early emerging daffodils, endless days of gray, or a fun roller coaster ride of both. Even though we cannot control the seasons, thankfully, we can control how we take care of ourselves in order to weather any conditions. Citrus is still in full [...]

Taco Libre provided the unique opportunity to see live Mexican professional wrestling (luchadores) compete with their colorful masks in a central ring located inside The Shed. [...]
Microgreens might not look like much at first. Standing at one to three inches tall with only a pair of leaves just starting to form, they look more like springy ground cover than a delicious addition to most foods. They fall between a “sprout” and the “baby” variety of plants; harvested after the plants have [...]
When you hear of a friend’s upcoming wine tour, you most likely think of vineyards in California, Italy, or even Spain. Eden Hill is trying to change that. Chris Hornbaker has a love of wine, and believes that Texas grown wine can be just as good as wine grown in more “exotic” locations. He is [...]
We recently visited Crawford Farm’s, an east Texas farm that is all about growing high quality produce by tried and true family methods. Steve Crawford’s farm is located in Timpson, TX, a town with a population around 1,000 people located about an hour from Shreveport, LA. Steve has been farming for forty years and his [...]

Bill, the owner of Musgrove Family Farms located in Greenville, TX, took us on a tour of the family’s property earlier this month. And if one thing could define this operation, it would be [...]
The 2007 ULI/PwC Emerging Trends in Real Estate report said of Dallas: “Wide-open Texas markets favor developers, but ‘they are never good places to invest.'” Ten years later, the groups are singing a different tune. Dallas Fort-Worth “is rapidly approaching the level where it is considered as a core primary market,” the emerging trends report [...]
Agricultural education was the theme of this field trip. I did book readings of Texas Farm Girl to the students, while Patrick Wright, a representative from Bonton Farms spoke to the kids about soil, mulch and planting their own food. Janiece Black, with the Dallas Farmer’s Market, explained the differences between a fruit and a [...]
