Our wild winter weather has wreaked havoc on more than just the usual crops. These warm, dry, windy days have led to a pollen explosion, mostly from Mountain Cedar (Ashe Juniper), causing “cedar fever,” which often presents with flu-like symptoms and certainly brings overall misery.

You might feel that pursuing wellness during this North Texas allergy season is too difficult, but simple dietary changes can make a real difference. Choosing foods that reduce inflammation and support your immune system, such as fresh fruits and vegetables like citrus and peppers rich in Vitamin C, flavonoids, and antioxidants, can truly help. Local raw honey is also a popular natural remedy for some allergy sufferers.

Head to The Shed this weekend and stock up on these fresh, raw ingredients and other allergy-fighting, immune-boosting foods.

In addition to all the health benefits of shopping at the DFM, we also want to offer our Winter Grit Shed Punch Card as a thank-you for braving the cold with us.

  1. Stop by the information booth in The Shed to pick up a punch card.
  2. Earn a punch for every purchase of $10+ at The Shed during January through March. Bring the receipt/proof of purchase to the information booth to receive the punch/punches.
  3. After filling the card (or cards!) with six punches, participants are entered into a raffle for an exclusive Dallas Farmers Market gift basket valued at $100+. Winners will be chosen and contacted at the beginning of April.

The pollen count may be high, but we’re here to help keep the suffering low. Come enjoy the care, comfort, and locally grown goodness waiting for you at the Dallas Farmers Market.
