Japan and Texas Photographs - From the Fridge to the Fire: Wildlife Contrasts
This photography presentation will highlight the contrasts between the chilly winter months in
Japan and the baking hot climate of South Texas, and how the resident wildlife copes in each
of these harsh environments. Jeremy Woodhouse is an outdoor photographer based in Dallas,
Texas, whose photos have appeared in print all over the world. He has received numerous
photography awards, and his images have been included in exhibitions at the Smithsonian in
Washington, D.C., the Dallas Museum of Natural History, and the Natural History Museum in
London. His website is http://www.pixelchrome.com/

White Rock Local Market is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit farmers market where local farmers, ranchers, and artisans sell directly to our East Dallas neighborhood. White Rock Local Market is a meeting place for residents to buy fresh, local and healthy foods, and quality arts and crafts.

WRLM is held twice a month – the second and fourth Saturday – at The Green Spot Market and Fuels. Second Saturdays are Everything Markets and feature farmers, food artisans and arts and crafts. Fourth Saturdays are Just Farmers - farmers, producers, and food artisans.

White Rock Local Market has several community programs: a Lone Star food stamp program at the market, workshops, school field trips, and an after school entrepreneurial program.

The event will bring local farmers, chefs and purveyors together at Lee Park in Dallas. From 1 to 5 p.m., patrons will enjoy bites by more than 30 of the area’s most talented chefs, sip on great wines and cocktails, and listen to tracks spun by local DJs. In addition, event goers can visit a pop-up farmers’ market featuring products by local artisans.  Tickets and more information here.

For six decades, the Dallas Farmers Market has been a fixture in downtown Dallas. It has grown into a true Texas treasure, as one of the largest public markets of its type in the country.

The Dallas Farmers Market is a one-stop shop for all your produce, meat, floral and specialty-food needs. It is one of the largest public markets of its type in the country, open seven days a week from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, 362 days a year. 

Farmers from 150 miles around come to the Dallas Farmers Market, giving you the chance to "buy locally." These certified local producers offer a wide array of seasonal produce, from tomatoes to sweet potatoes, peaches to watermelons. Other produce vendors complement these local offerings, with everything from Mexican avocados to Washington apples.

At the Dallas Farmers Market, you can also find specialty and prepared foods, flowers, shrubs, and trees, and the opportunity to buy produce in bulk. It only takes one visit to understand why the Dallas Farmers Market is the market where the locals go.
