One of the real joys of living in Texas can be the sheer bounty produced by our local farmers in our long hot growing season. One of the real challenges of living here can be trying to get your hands on that bounty! This post will aim to take a little of the pain out of the search for local produce and, hopefully, introduce you to a few local producers you didn't know were on your doorstep. Farmer's markets generally happen on Saturday mornings from May through October and can be a great morning out, with samples and other locally produced foods and handmade crafts on sale.

For the truly adventurous among you, then a trip to the Dallas Farmer's Market is well worth the drive. The wholesale market is huge, and sells everything from tomatillos to guava in crates; so, if you are in the market for a 20lb crate of tomatoes, this is the place to be! In addition, they have a whole shed devoted to local producers, not just of fruit and veg, but also organic and grass-fed meats, eggs, local honey.. the list goes on and on.
