Window to the Wild is bringing entertaining education (Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.) and Carter Blood Drive is saving lives with your help (Saturday, 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.), plus kids’ activities and lots of live music all weekend long.
When you know your farmer and rancher, you know your food – where it comes from, how it’s grown, the care behind it. It looks like the weekend weather is promising an early taste of fall, so come on down to the Dallas Farmers Market and shake some hands, ask a few questions, and learn all about the love of labor required to raise high-quality food from the ground up.
