Our last market of the year is here and we are so excited to be closing off the year with you! As we sit in reflection for all that 2023 brought to the Dallas Farmers Market, our first thought is gratitude. 2023 was amazing, and it is all thanks to YOU; to all who walk through our many doors and make up every part of who and what we are, for you we are thankful. Everything we do here at DFM is always with an authentic intention to cultivate, enrich, and empower everything we touch, and none of it would be possible without every single one of you.
2023 brought us many accomplishments to be proud of, here are just a few:
- We introduced double-up food bucks empowering many to enjoy more farm-fresh produce in our community
- Welcomed many new small businesses to The Shed and M.A.D.E. Market
- We implemented more farm-fresh fruits & vegetables by adding local produce to our DFM Grow n’ Go
- We proudly celebrated the many cultures in our community through special events and collaborations
- We reached a record-high attendance for Dallas’ Original Watermelon Day with over 14,000 visitors
- Celebrated the opening of two new brick-and-mortar businesses to The Market + Retail Shops – La 57 Bakery and Flea Style!
The last market of 2023 is the perfect opportunity to take home vibrant greens available from Williams Garden for a warm soup or refreshing salad. Don’t leave without your free-range meat from JuHa Ranch and you can’t forget farm-fresh eggs from Cedar Ridge. And, for the last time this year, we ask you to support to the many artists, creatives, and makers that make up our DFM vendor family both in The Shed and for our Curated Holiday Market on Pearl Plaza. Complete your New Year’s celebration by picking up a bottle of sparkling wine from Eden Hill.
As the countdown to the New Year is upon us; it comes with the feeling of newness in the air, reminding us that change is inevitable, possible, and both so beautiful. This past year brought much to be thankful for, more than anything the feel of togetherness has to be our favorite. Everything feels better when we as a community are together. Thank you for being the root from which it all stems and flourishes, we have much more to grow in 2024; let’s grow!
