🌿 Historic McKinney Farmers Market

The open‑air market at Chestnut Square Historic Village transforms into a flowing museum of food and crafts every Saturday morning. When the church bell rings at 8 o’clock, farmers lift their canvas covers to reveal vegetable crates still dewy with morning moisture—here, what’s traded isn’t just produce, but a Southern land narrative that has continued for 150 years. 🛒 Market Highlights ✅ Farm‑Direct Section: Pink steak tomatoes (picked only at the perfect sugar‑spot stage)Purple asparagus & rainbow carrots (sold individually)Jarred wildflower honey (comes with a pollinator‑map card) ✅ Handmade Foods: Blackberry‑ginger jam (in vintage Mason jars)Smoked pecan butter (available for tasting on‑site)German sourdough bread (baked in a 19th‑century brick oven) ✅ Living Aesthetics: Indigo‑dyed linen aprons (dye from indigo plants grown at the market) Terracotta spice jars (etched with the potter’s initials)Pressed‑flower bookmarks (with local wildflower specimens) #McKinney#McKinneylife#McKinneyweekend#McKinneyguide#Texas#travelguide
