Every 1st and 3rd Saturday from 9 am - Noon April - Dec. (weather pending) (Pre-ordering for monthly co-ops in Jan, Feb & March via email see below) Each week we see new opportunity for harvest items and new farmers Come Eat Local and In Season and "MEET THE REAL FARMERS & RANCHERS!" A great time for visiting with friends and neighbors and learning about where and how your food was produced! ALL of our farmers and ranchers use organic, sustainable or all natural methods (not everyone here has jumped through the USDA's hoops or paid the fees to get certified, but they know how important it is to you to get "clean", real and whole food. Our farmers and ranchers are all either known by Eden's or by referral of someone we know.) ALL Food is represented by actual local Producers/Ranchers/Farmers
We are open on the grounds of the farm/garden center on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays from 9 a.m. - noon (April through December - weather permitting) You can pre-order some of the items directly from producers below. Local produce is offered as available and as it is picked that week. Sign up below to receive Market Day e-fliers so you can get a pre-view of availability. From Texas Farms and Ranches to Texas Tables and Tummies!
MEET YOUR FARMERS AND RANCHERS Of EDEN'S MARKET DAY Only the actual growers, ranchers or producers of farm fresh, organic or sustainable local farms and ranches bring you the finest in quality grass-fed beef, pasture raised poultry, organic produce, natural beef, fresh baked organic specialty breads, pastas, home-canned goodies and more! This may mean our mini-market isn't as big as some you may have attended, but at least you will KNOW where your food comes from and WHO grew it and HOW! JuHa Cattle Ranch - Judi has been with us since Eden's started holding Market Day under a single tent in the front yard three years ago! She and her family raise naturally and humanely pastured, grass-fed beef, fresh free range chickens, eggs, pork, lamb, rabbit, and the wildly famous, porgo sausage, too! (It is wildly famous in my kitchen!) Chef Gilbert has been known to frequent the JuHa table and Kim Pierce wrote a great review of the Porgo on the EATS blog. Pasture raised all natural -shoulder roasts, boneless loin roasts, ham roasts (fresh ham, not cured). JuHa will resume taking preorders for the once a month special pick up for Jan.,Feb., and March. Dates TBA Please call or email Judi to preorder to be sure your favorite items don't sell out before you get here!
Welcome Broadstreet Bakery! Sonja Sarr-Steinbach is a personal friend of the farm and a fellow horse lover/owner. In her spare time, when she's not rescuing and caring for wild Mustangs, gardening or playing with her dogs, she is baking and cooking! Now in the process of opening her own bakery in Midlothian, Sonja will begin taking some preorders and sending or bringing, depending on her schedule, tasty home baked organic goodies just for Eden's Market customers. Watch here for a preorder form soon! In the meantime - come see the beautiful and delicious breads, pies and other baked items available.
In an effort to fill the requests for a wider variety of cuts of free-range poultry and to make more grass fed beef available throughout the year, I have asked Dominion Farms to offer their products via pre-order for our Market Day. Dominion Farms is a 3-family run farm in Denison, TX where they raise pasture fed, antibiotic free and hormone free meats. Dominion Farms is another quality local, family farm! We're so glad to include them in our Market Day line-up for preordering and hope they can become regular Market Day participants soon. Let them know you want them to come to Eden's! Chef Gilbert likes Dominion Farms' chicken, too! Pre-order chicken or beef here no later than the Wednesday before Market Day. Your order will be delivered to Eden's for pick up on Market Day. See Marie for pick up of your order.

Follow Eden's Garden CSA Farm and other items in the news on our I'm not sure what is more important to emphasize to you - the fact that we have and continue to seek out local farmers and ranchers who take pride and care in how they manage the land and grow safe food for you or that they do so only in a holistic and organic/sustainable way.
