This post details how and where you can access local produce with a focus on Southlake, noting market schedules, vendor types, distances, and connections. Use this as your reference to discover produce beyond supermarket shelves.

While not a traditional open-air farmers market, the Sprouts Farmers Market in Southlake acts as a proxy local produce marketplace. This specialty grocery chain emphasizes fresh, natural, and organic produce. Its produce section rotates seasonal items, carries local or regional farm labels when available, and stocks items often found at small markets (heirloom tomatoes, microgreens, specialty greens).

For people seeking consistency, Sprouts offers daily availability with extended hours and predictable supply. The store’s deli, meat, and bakery departments also tie into its local-first ethos, making it a hybrid between a supermarket and a produce hub.

The Keller Farmers Market in Bear Creek Park is a seasonal outdoor market often cited in Southlake-area listings. Vendors sell fresh produce, baked goods, eggs, preserves, cut flowers, and prepared foods. The market often operates on Saturday mornings through much of the growing season (spring through fall).

This market pulls local growers from the region surrounding Southlake, giving you access to produce that isn’t always in grocery stores. Because its footprint is modest, the selection varies weekly. You may find heirloom tomatoes, summer squash, peppers, fresh greens, and seasonal fruits.

A larger draw is the Farmers Market of Grapevine. It operates Saturday mornings and draws numerous vendors selling produce, artisan goods, and prepared foods. While a bit farther than Southlake neighbors, its selection tends to be broader, with more growers, more specialty items, and stronger variety.

If you’re willing to drive, this market often has local honey, specialty mushrooms, tropical or “exotic” farm items (depending on season), and a larger display of crafts and goods accompanying produce.

The Rufe Snow Farmers Market in Watauga, about 20 minutes from Southlake, operates daily and stocks hand-selected produce sourced as locally as possible. The market’s layout resembles a hybrid between a farm stand and an indoor grocer, featuring colorful displays of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and preserves. It also sells locally made honey, dairy, and baked goods.

Because it’s open nearly every day, Rufe Snow fills the midweek gap for those who want fresh ingredients outside typical Saturday or Sunday market hours. Its reliability and curated produce selection make it a practical extension of the Southlake TX farmers market community, giving shoppers consistent access to fresh food without the limitations of a seasonal schedule.

The Coppell Farmers Market sits roughly 25 minutes from Southlake in Old Town Coppell and is regarded as one of the region’s best-organized open-air markets. Operating Saturdays from spring through late fall, it features dozens of verified vendors offering fresh produce, pasture-raised meats, dairy, honey, baked goods, and small-batch condiments. Its covered pavilion ensures comfort even during warm months.

Coppell’s vendor vetting process requires that all produce and goods be grown or made within a certain radius, maintaining a high standard of authenticity. This structure has helped the market earn recognition as a reliable destination for seasonal fruits and vegetables, often attracting Southlake residents seeking a robust market experience.

The Dallas Farmers Market represents the metro area’s most significant and longest-running open-air market. Located downtown, it offers two distinct sections: The Shed, an open-air pavilion for local farmers, and The Market, an enclosed retail space with restaurants, artisanal shops, and specialty grocers.

Saturday and Sunday bring an extensive lineup of regional farms selling produce, meat, herbs, flowers, and pantry staples. Many shoppers from Southlake make periodic trips here for its unmatched selection and scope. Though it’s about a 35-minute drive, the Dallas Farmers Market is a flagship destination for anyone in North Texas committed to supporting local agriculture and artisan producers.

The Flower Mound Farmers Market operates on Sunday mornings throughout the year. Its vendor base includes local growers, plant nurseries, bakers, and artisan producers. The market’s open layout along the river promenade makes it scenic and accessible, drawing weekend shoppers from nearby communities.

The Flower Mound market’s strength lies in its steady schedule and relaxed atmosphere. Vendors frequently offer fresh greens, tree-ripened fruits, and prepared foods such as tamales, preserves, and baked goods. Its Sunday hours complement other weekend markets, giving Southlake residents an alternative day to shop for fresh produce close to home.

Outside regular farmers markets, several farm stands and CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) programs serve Southlake. Listings on LocalHarvest show farm stands such as Naturally Grown Farms in Argyle, which produce microgreens, specialty greens, mushrooms, herbs, and cut flowers. While farther afield, these farm stand programs may offer delivery or drop points closer to Southlake. Growers often provide fresh, small-lot items — rare herbs, specialty greens, or social media-driven “pop-up” farm stand events.

Seasonal or pop-up markets also appear periodically in Southlake or neighboring suburbs. Events might align with holidays (pumpkin markets, holiday craft fairs, spring market events). Local parks or community centers host these temporary markets on weekends. These pop-ups can feature small growers unable to commit to full-season markets, so their selection might include unique items — rare tomatoes, niche herbs, edible flowers, or specialty preserves.

Exploring local farmers markets is one of the best ways to experience the Southlake lifestyle — connecting directly with growers, supporting regional producers, and enjoying the freshest seasonal food North Texas has to offer.
