Everywhere you turn there’s a different good being sold. A different vendor. A different story. At the Coppell Farmers Market, differences are celebrated and it is one of the many reasons people come together, currently in a safe and controlled environment due to COVID-19.

The Coppell Farmers Market is an invaluable part of the community, and, thankfully, with safety precautions, it can remain a vibrant economy. Dare I say the farmer’s market is even a safer option compared to the grocery store, seeing as it’s outdoors and less crowded.

The market is open on the second and fourth Saturday of every month from 8 a.m.- noon in Old Town Coppell, like clockwork. Speaking of clocks, what makes the Coppell Farmers Market tick?
