The Shed · Open-Air Market · 1010 S Pearl Expressway

The Shed.

A hundred local farmers, ranchers, and artisans gathering every weekend. Rain or shine, year-round. Free to attend.

⏱ Sat 9am–5pm & Sun 10am–5pm    ✓ Free admission    ✓ SNAP / EBT accepted

The open-air heart of the Dallas Farmers Market. Over 100 local producers set up every Saturday and Sunday under The Shed at 1010 S Pearl Expressway — farmers from within 400 miles away, ranchers raising heritage breeds, bakers who started before sunrise, and makers who keep old craft traditions alive. It’s been going since 1941, and it still runs rain or shine.

Veggie Valet

Shop the whole market hands-free. Drop your bags at the Veggie Valet stand and pick them up when you’re done. Especially useful on Saturdays when the market is packed and bags get heavy fast.
