GRILL, FILL, AND CHILL THIS 4TH

Fresh Summer Produce for Your Fourth of July Table

Kick off your Independence Day celebration with a visit to the Dallas Farmers Market, where summer’s best flavors are filling The Shed. Local farmers are bringing an incredible selection of fresh, seasonal produce that’s perfect for your holiday cookout.

Shoppers can find sweet early-season corn from Kelley Produce and Heddin Family Farm, along with juicy peaches, fresh blackberries, crisp peppers, and tender okra. If you’re looking for the perfect addition to your picnic or barbecue, Kelley Produce also has a variety of ripe watermelons and cantaloupes that are ready to enjoy fresh or served in a refreshing fruit salad.

Shop Local for Premium Meats

Before lighting the grill, stop by The Shed and meet the local ranchers who are passionate about producing high-quality meats using responsible farming practices.

413 Farms

Visit Angela from 413 Farms to learn about their USDA-certified organic farming methods. Their pork, beef, lamb, and chicken are raised outdoors on certified organic pasture with plenty of sunshine, fresh air, and room to roam. The animals are never given antibiotics, added hormones, pesticides, or unnecessary chemicals, resulting in clean, responsibly raised meat you can feel confident serving your family.

Hendrix Family Farms

Hendrix Family Farms offers pasture-raised beef, chicken, and eggs produced without hormones, antibiotics, or artificial pesticides. Their carefully balanced grain-and-forage feeding program creates flavorful, nutrient-rich beef.

For Independence Day, they’re offering a special Fourth of July Grill Pack that includes:

• 2 pounds of ground beef
• 2 packages of beef patties (4 patties per package)
