Food

The Downtown Arlington Farmer’s Market is a community-oriented market focusing on Texas provided foods, arts, crafts, services and wares.

 We are located at 215 Front Street Arlington, Texas 76011 and we open every Friday and Saturday from 8AM to 1PM.

The goal of the market is to provide a venue for local vendors to offer Arlington, Texas residents an opportunity to buy the freshest meat, produce, breads and other great foods, crafts and products available.

A selection of Dallas’ top executive chefs will step away from the kitchen to prepare signature culinary creations between rows of strawberries, mint and arugula on Paul Quinn College’s organic WE Over Me Farm for an event called "A Community Cooks." The event is happening at 6 p.m., Thursday, April 19 at the college, 3837 Simpson Stuart Road. Tickets are $75 and can be purchased at http://www.prekindle.com/promo/id/21692820750405706.

Along with providing an opportunity to feast between the budding sprouts of cantaloupe and sweet potatoes and listen to live music beneath the stars, "A Community Cooks" celebrates the Farm's accomplishments and raises resources to help expand the Farm’s ability to combat the food desert surrounding Paul Quinn College. The Farm brings healthy food to the neighborhood by donating a minimum of 10 percent of all items grown to those in need.

Join the vendors of Cowtown Farmers Market for this one-day event in Federal Plaza Park, in front of Lanham Plaza (federal building) at 1000 Throckmorton St. Featuring fresh, local produce; artisan bread and baked goods; hot tamales; cut flowers and vegetable plants; soap and bath product; and more. Everything is grown or made within 150 miles of Fort Worth. The Bacon Wagon and SoCal Tacos food trucks will be on site for the farmers market.

This will be a free screening of the documentary King Corn at Westside Unitarian Universalist Church in Fort Worth. (The following is taken from the website of the documentary King Corn)

King Corn is a Peabody-winning feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In the film, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat—and how we farm.
