Pets, Produce, Peppers and Plenty More in Grand Prairie

Pets, Produce, Peppers and Plenty More in Grand Prairie.

The concept of a farmer’s market instantly brings to mind a multitude of positive images. Family, fresh fruits and vegetables, the scent of alfalfa, and a nostalgic aura to the whole experience.

In today’s world where GMO dominated food is so readily available, this connection with tradition is even more important. Wellness is best when maximized and a healthy diet is a major piece of the puzzle.

The market runs from early Spring until a week or so before Christmas. Texas weather is as hospitable as the people most of the time, so there are three full seasons of enjoyment to be had.

Market square in Grand Prairie is the spot. The city of Grand Prairie is a medium sized suburb of the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The economy is solid, with the school district, and some defense contractors, and some other high tech industries chained firmly as anchors.

I did mention a healthy diet, and the Grand Prairie Farmer’s Market has that and then some. Locally grown fruits and vegetables, plants, tamales, breads, salsas, dips, relishes, soy candles, eggs, meats, soaps, honey, wines, chips, cookies and more are available.

All of that wonderful food, along with love, and some healthy exercise are a great trio for wellness. They can all be achieved, with a visit to the Grand Prairie Texas Farmer’s Market on 4/01/2017. https://www.gptx.org/businesses/farmers-market. There will be giveaways and live entertainment along with a 5K run for those wishing to run or walk that day.

The benefits of yoga are apparent, and it is becoming a popular alternative to more traditional forms of exercise.  The feeling of meditation, combined with the physical exertion, are a treat for the body and soul.

Adopting a pet is also a self less undertaking, and with the trail system available in Grand Prairie, the benefits of a walk should be available to the canine you adopt, if that is your choice. The city is also one of many cities in the US designated “A tree city”.

This designation can bring a great deal of benefits to a city, as the following link from The National Arbor Day Foundation states.

The Park Department has received some lofty praise nationally, and this really should affect livability, and attract buyers.  The city was awarded the National Park and Recreation Association (NPRA), Gold Medal, for excelling in a wide array of factors.
