About twenty miles east of Dallas lies a lakeside town that would give Stars Hollow a run for its money. Rockwall Farmers Market is officially back for the season and it has never looked better!

When is Rockwall Farmers Market? Where is it held?

The market is held every Saturday from 8 am to 12 pm May – September. Vendors set up all around the historic courthouse on our town square. Many people who watch my stories tell me that it is quite literally the most stylish farmers market they’ve ever seen and this year the vendors truly went all out.

What can you buy at Rockwall Farmers Market?

Farm stands offer an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, award-winning pickles and jams, farm raised eggs, fresh flowers, plants, meat, and more. And because this is Texas, you can also get tamales, BBQ sauce, salsa, and queso. There are also various baked goods, gourmet olive oil, coffee, dog treats, loaves of bread, hand-poured candles, and more!

Where do you park?

There is lots of free parking all around the square in Rockwall. One of the biggest lots is next to Book Club Cafe. The entrance is off of E Interurban Street.

Market Flowers

You of course have to treat yourself to flowers from my friends at Paper Bird Flower Farm. Nothing makes me feel like I’m strolling through a market in Provence like a bouquet of flowers in my tote bag! Jenna is the sweetest and puts together the most stunning bouquets. We are so lucky to have her!

The Vine Shack also has a build-your-own bouquet bar this year in addition to lots of flowers and vegetables. How sweet is that?! You might recognize their name from their fall pumpkin stand, which I have gushed about. There are several plant vendors this year, including Daydream Farms, who grew hard-to-find heirloom plants, such as my beloved Black Krim Tomatoes!

A Few Highlights

Ebarb Sausage, where have you been all my life?! Y’all know I absolutely love sausage and this is some of the best I’ve ever had. The flavors are all named after members of the family (too cute!) and every bite I tried was better than the last. And if you love beef, go see my friend Kellie at Ashcraft Beef. You can see her incredible beef tenderloin here. Papi’s Kitchen is a must for pickles and jams!

If you love sourdough, you have to try a loaf from Uprooted Journey. She is baking the best sourdough I’ve ever tasted in Texas. My mom is from San Francisco so we know sourdough. Uprooted Journey is the real deal! If you want to pretend like you’re in Europe, go see Alfredo at Amanida USA. The balsamic will change your life and it’s the only stuff I will use for summer caprese now!

Fields of Fidelis is a veteran-owned lavender farm that makes incredibly gorgeous candles. I’ve bought so many for gifts! I also just got a bath bomb, which looks like heaven.

Y’all know Mediterranean food is my absolute favorite so you can usually find me sampling one of everything at the Yallatizers booth. I bought the roasted tomato spread, sundried tomato feta cheese, and garlic pita chips and they go incredible well together!

There is so much to try at Rockwall Farmers Market but it isn’t too big. Plan on about one hour to stop at every booth. You can even walk to breakfast at Book Club or Fable & Fire after the market!

And lastly, I love how many of my readers I’ve gotten to meet at the market. If you see me, please feel free to say hello. I love meeting you all!
