Food nerds reporting from Coppell Farmers Market! Food nerds reporting from Coppell Farmers Market! 🚜🐖👩‍🌾 Did you know that you can get ALL of your staples at the Coppell Farmers Market every Saturday? We are talking 🥩🥛🥚🧀, of course 🍑🥦🥬🥕🍎🍐, and even 🍷. Say, what?! We met some amazing people, including farmers, bakers, makers, and foodies! The offerings are seasonal, so it’s worth keeping @coppellfarmersmarket in your rotation all year. The farmers market has a shaded pavilion with inside and outside booths, a farm-themed playground, interactive fountain area, and restrooms. Several restaurants are within walking distance. One Saturday, we had breakfast at The Local Dinner, popped over to let the kids play in the splash area, AND bought from goodies from the local vendors. #dallasfoodnerd *sponsored #coppellfarmersmarket #dfwfoodie #coppelltx @cityofcoppelltx #farmersmarket #dfwfarmersmarket #texasfarm #texasfarmersmarket

Oomi is the only place in North Texas serving freshly baked Milk Bar cookies & their signature Milk Bar pie, the ooey gooey sweet & salty pie that put Milk Bar on the map. It was so good, it used to be called “crack pie.” 🤩 Add a slice of pie or one of five cookie flavors, including Compost or our fav, Cornflake Chocolate Chip Marshmallow, to any order.
