The Historic Downtown McKinney Farmers Market at Chestnut Square is ON for Saturday, February 6! Come out and see all your favorite vendors!
The Historic McKinney Farmers Market at Adriatica is cancelled for Thursday, February 4 and Sunday, February 7 due to weather. Look for us again at Adriatica on Thursday, February 11.
This has been a tough winter for our produce vendors...the hard freeze in December and ongoing wet weather set the crops back for the Spring. Know that our great vendors are doing all they can with green houses and prayers to get that great locally grown produce ready for the Spring market.
We are committed to our mission as a local market. No resellers or brokers just local farmers that grow at least 60% of what they sell and find the best sources for the remainder from within seven hours by truck of McKinney. We want you to be able to get answers from our vendors about where their goods are grown and made!
Plan to come and stay awhile at this next market! Visit the newly stocked Dixie's Store and grab a Dublin Dr. Pepper! It's year-end inventory close out at Dixie's Store, so check out the great bargains. Get re-connected with some of the best Farmers Market vendors in the DFW area.

Dan Hoff's Update on the Adriatica Farmers Market
Last week, I sent a notice about dates and times for the Farmers Market at Adriatica. Unfortunately, due to weather, last Sunday saw shortened hours of operation and several of you went to find nothing there.
Since then, I have spoken with Cindy Johnson, Directory of McKinney’s Chestnut Square and confirmed dates and hours of operation. Chestnut Square runs both the downtown Farmers Market (in Chestnut Square) and the one in Adriatica.This week, due for the weather forecast, there will be no Farmers Market in Adriatica, although the Saturday morning Farmers Market is planned for Chestnut Square.
The days/hours of operation for Farmers Market in Adriatica are WEEKLY Thursdays and Sundays, 1:00PM-5:00PM.

New Frozen Yogurt shop in McKinney, Texas
The new fad of self serve yogurt shops is spreading like wildfire. We have finally found a shop close to Stonebridge Ranch on Eldorado Parkway. The store is Called Berri Licious and has a great selection of flavors and has great decor. I have been unable to find a website for this store; apparently there are a few other stores with the same name in other state. The store is in the retail strip just East of Lake Forest on the North side of the street. The current price is 35 cents an ounce, which is inline or cheaper then similar yogurt shops. Next time your in the area and are craving frozen yogurt, give them a try.

Progress in the BOL Building!
The Blackard Group has begun framing the second floor of the BOL Building, which will be leased out as "executive suites". It is great to see some progress in Adriatica.
