The start of a new year often brings tremendous external pressure to get busy achieving big goals. But if you pay attention to nature, you will notice that winter actually reminds us that rest is a vital part of our healthy life cycle. How else will we be able to “spring” if we don’t allow time to restore our energy, reflect on our habits, and care for ourselves? With that in mind, we invite you to ease into 2026 by embracing seasonally focused wellness at the Dallas Farmers Market. This weekend, we’re highlighting healthy juices, teas, kombuchas, and mocktails from some of our favorite vendors:
- Agiebabes Ginger Beer: Welcome Dry January with Sierra Leone’s finest non-alcoholic ginger beer, made with native spices and natural flavors, and available in freshly prepared Original, Pineapple, and Mango.
- Danfe Tea: Enjoy premium, certified organic, loose-leaf teas from the Himalayan mountains of Nepal, packed with antioxidants and minerals to support your well-being.
- Pepperona Pepper’s Fire Cider: Boost your immune system with this spicy, homemade herbal tonic made with organic apple cider vinegar infused with fiery ingredients like chili peppers, ginger, turmeric, garlic, citrus, and herbs.
- RX Tea Shop: Embrace premium wellness for mind and body with signature herbal tea blends and small batch kombucha.
- Head to The Shed on Saturday, January 3, at 12:30 p.m. for a Healthy Homemade Mocktails and Bitters demonstration, and Sunday, January 4, at 12:30 p.m. for an informative Kombucha demonstration with RX Tea Shop.
- Sol Good Juice: Fuel your wellness journey with freshly made, nutrient-rich cold-pressed juices, crafted to refresh, revitalize, and restore with every sip.
Get rewarded for all your local business supporting wellness efforts by grabbing a Winter Grit Shed Punch Card.
- Stop by the information booth in The Shed to pick up a punch card.
- 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.
- After filling the card (or cards!) with six punches, participants are entered into a raffle for an exclusive Dallas Farmers Market gift basket valued $100+. Winners will be chosen and contacted at the beginning of April.
Growth doesn’t always come from doing more. Sometimes it comes from doing less, thoughtfully. These intentional acts of care help strengthen the roots we’ll use to bloom in the months to come, so stay tuned for the rest of January’s Wellness series. We’re very excited to start 2026 with you at the Dallas Farmers Market, but you know, in a relaxed, restful kind of way.
