The Arlington Foodies Farmer’s Market will be open downtown this Saturday, April 13, at Urban Union at 500 E. Division Street. The calendar of events and vendor list for the market are both jam-packed with stuff you won’t want to miss, including prepared and farmed foods alongside activities for both kids and adults. This is also the third year the Foodie event has celebrated Legal Draft.

The market will be open from 2 pm to 6 pm this Saturday, and will open again on the second Saturday of each month through the summer. Arlington residents and neighbors can come to enjoy local eats plus activities, including an adult home gardening class and a potted plant class for children.

Dyno-Rock will also be joining the market for the first time this year to host an egg hunt for kids and a gardening adventure.

Arlington, Texas residents are gearing up to enjoy the market as well as participate, with a record-number of booths going up this year. You’ll see some of your favorite businesses like Idlewild Botanical, and even learn about new ones, like the Arlington Yoga Center who will be using their space at Urban Union to set up Puppy Yoga.

As our community has become more health-conscious, there’s been a big uptick in farmer’s markets and the people attending them. And with the added bonus of the “buy local” approach, plus some truly magical entertainment for the whole family, the Downtown Arlington Foodies Farmer’s Market is a win-win for everyone in attendance.

Not only have buy-local efforts paid off for Arlington businesses in recent years, but they have also helped families consume higher-quality and healthier food that arrives to the table with far less time in transit. The Foodies Farmer’s Market has this and many other health benefits in mind with local produce, and is doing its part to continue this trend toward local spending for local dollars, healthier eating, and a closer connection to the Arlington community.
