Good Local Markets

White Rock Local Market began in 2009 with the idea that a neighborhood farmers market would improve our health and our quality of life here in East Dallas. Why have to drive across town to a farmers market? Why not have one right here?

Six years later, White Rock Local Market has grown into Good Local Markets, hosting three farmers markets, educational programs, a food stamp program, community garden space, and more. Now, Good Local Markets is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization working to create a stronger demand for local foods. We have proven the rule “Build it and they will come…”

Our markets serve thousands of residents looking for healthy and locally raised foods. Good Local Markets also present some of our region’s top makers of clothes, jewelry, furniture, fine art, toys and more, handmade by North Texans. Our markets now serve to connect local farmers, food producers and craftsmen directly to our community.
