Everything Worth Eating at the Dallas Farmers Market Right Now

The Dallas Farmers Market has been at 920 South Harwood Street since 1941, which makes it older than most of the buildings around it and considerably more interesting than any of them. It is two things at once — a 26,000-square-foot indoor food hall called The Market, open every day of the week, and an outdoor pavilion called The Shed where regional farmers, ranchers, and food artisans set up on Saturdays and Sundays. Most people know one or the other. The ones who know both tend to spend their Saturday mornings there like it is a standing appointment.

Scardello Cheese Selections for the Season

There is a shop on Oak Lawn that has been quietly running one of the best cheese counters in the country for going on seventeen years, and most of Dallas still drives past it without stopping. That is their loss. Scardello sits at 3511 Oak Lawn Avenue in a 1929 building with wood floors, an original tin ceiling, exposed brick walls, and enough natural light that the cheese case practically glows. It is the type of place that makes you slow down the moment you walk in, because the person behind the counter is genuinely happy to talk about what is in front of you, and that is not something most food retail in Dallas offers anymore.

Hatch Pepper Season Ultimate Guide for Dallas-Fort Worth

Every summer, an unmistakable aroma begins to waft through grocery store parking lots and restaurant patios across the Southwest: the smoky, sweet, slightly earthy scent of roasting Hatch green chiles. For those who know, this is not just another seasonal crop—it’s a signal, a short but celebrated season mid-July through September when a particular New Mexican pepper takes over menus, farmers markets, and culinary imagination.

In Dallas, Hatch pepper season is marked by a surge of pop-up roasters, limited-time restaurant specials, and shoppers filling bags with pounds of the bright green pods. But where do these peppers come from, and why have they achieved such near-mythical status?

The Buzz About Bee Kings

We recently received a message from a local beekeeper, Chris Miller, who owns Bee Kings and offers his unique honey at the Dallas Farmers Market.

Chris was excited to share a story of a particular honey that he will be offering tomorrow at the Dallas Farmer’s Market and only he can describe it so well. “Something we tried recently really surprised and delighted us. We broke open some watermelons for the honeybees to forage on during the dearth (dry spell for nectar flow) and WOW… those bees went to town on the sweet watermelon juice. In the end, we were blown away by the honey they produced; bright red… and tasted like a jolly rancher made of honey. Those crazy bees wowed our socks off us”.
