Market Day Is Back! We had a wonderful turn out for what was a beautiful day at Eden's! Gene and his family brought in a bountiful harvest of delicious butter crunch and green romaine lettuce, radishes, yellow and white spring onions, swiss chard and red mustard greens! All of his produce was just harvested within 24 hours of bringing it to market. JUHA produces fresh poultry weekly. Hiram Farms takes preorders for those yummy salad greens and harvests them first thing market day morning. (and she had some pickled beets last week, too!) You just never know what our farmers are going to be bringing. Come every market day to see! I made a big salad at lunch, topped it off with a JUHA chicken breast and I felt like I had eaten a multi-vitamin! What a delicious and satisfying way to eat. Come support your local farmers and ranchers - and treat yourself and your family to the most healthy way to eat. MARKET DAY AT EDEN'S! Each week promises new harvest items and new farmers. In May, we're expecting the fresh goodness of Merry Berry Farms to come with their locally grown black berries - grown right here in Balch Springs! Be sure your email address is on our mailing list and we'll send out the availability list as available (note - due to spam, I've had to take down the mailing list sign up for awhile. you can send it directly to eogc at airmail dotnet. Thanks) Come "MEET
THE FARMERS & RANCHERS!" What a great time for visiting with friends and
learning about where and how your food was produced!

We are proud and happy to announce the first ever (in Southeast Dallas County anyway)
ALL Organic/Sustainable - ALL Producers/Ranchers/Farmers Market Days! We are open on the grounds of the garden center each month on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays from 10 a.m. - noon March through December Only the growers, ranchers or producers of farm fresh, organic and sustainable farms and ranches bring you the finest in quality grass-fed beef, pasture raised poultry, organic produce, fresh baked organic specialty breads, pastas, organic chocolate and pastries, and more! 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 or that they do so only in a holistic and organic/sustainable way. These two facts blended together can mean only one thing - The Very Best Tasting, Nutritious and Safest Food Money Can Buy! In addition, you are helping support neighboring farms and ranches, preserving Texas' heritage! Buying local not only means buying fresher because your food wasn't picked before it was ready and shipped across the country to get here, but it means we're conserving gas, too! You can pre-order some of the items by requesting an availability list through our contact section. Produce is available on hand as it is picked that week. (due to spam, you have to send me an email - eogc at airmail dot net) From Texas Farms and Ranches to Texas Tables and Bellies!
CSA's start up in the Spring - this is a great way to "test drive" some local farmers and see what a difference eating naturally and locally makes. We'll add producers as we can - many had issues with crops due to the heavy rains this year - to give you even more selections.
Our first season of market days went great! See pics from our First Market Day, it was a great one. Thanks to all who came out and supported local farms and our shop. Thanks to the Dallas Morning News and Kim Pierce, Jenice Johnson and Andrea Ridout for covering our event and helping to spread the word about the first Producers Only All sustainable/organically grown Farmers'/Ranchers' Market! Watch your Mesquite NeighborsGo for spring dates! We look forward to seeing you all in the spring of 08! Pre-orders will be accepted for December 15th and one Saturday in January. We plan to start up regular Farmers' Market style again in February. Want to preorder this winter? Get on our mailing list and we'll send you an order form. Go here and sign up today!
