A weekday visit to Dallas Farmers Market can still include a meal or a browse through local food businesses—but The Shed’s farmers market is next door, not inside The Market Building. The indoor hall opens daily; the outdoor pavilion has its own weekend hours and producer mix. Choosing between those two visits is the simplest way to plan a trip.
The Market Building is a 26,000-square-foot indoor food hall with four anchor restaurants, specialty-food and artisanal vendors, local retail, a coffee shop, and seating indoors and on an outdoor patio. It works for a meal, a coffee stop or shopping on any day of the week; hours for individual businesses can differ from the building’s schedule.
The Shed is the outdoor farmers market beside it. Its vendors include farmers with seasonal produce, ranchers selling meat, cheese, eggs and honey, and food makers offering items such as breads and canned goods. If farm products and producer stalls are the reason for your visit, the Shed’s weekend schedule—not the indoor hall’s daily opening—is the one to check.

Hurtado Barbecue shows the restaurant side of The Market’s mix. Founder and pitmaster Brandon Hurtado’s profile connects the business with Central Texas barbecue traditions and describes meat smoked over post oak. It says the brisket is smoked overnight and the jalapeño-cheddar sausage is made in-house.
Those methods help explain the restaurant’s approach, but they are not a promise of what will be available on a particular visit. The restaurant says its menu and daily availability can change; check its current information if you are planning around a specific dish.

Dallas Farmers Market says it has operated continuously since 1941. That date refers to the market, not necessarily the present-day Market Building in its current form. Today, the indoor hall and weekend Shed have distinct roles on the same campus.

The Shed is closed Monday through Friday. It is open Saturday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., rain or shine. Its seasonal produce, meats, dairy, eggs, honey and other producer-made foods are separate from the indoor hall’s offerings.
For cut flowers, bread and specialty produce, the organizer recommends Saturday morning before 10 as a time for stronger selection. It also notes that some popular goods can sell out. The Shed is a covered outdoor pavilion and operates year-round, subject to holiday schedules.
