There’s something special about a weekend morning in Collin County — coffee in hand, sun on your face and the smell of fresh-baked bread drifting through the air.
From Frisco to McKinney, local farmers markets turn parking lots and town squares into lively hubs filled with juicy produce, handmade goods and more samples than you can politely refuse. It’s the kind of outing where you leave with a bag full of vegetables and a heart full of organic joy (literally).
Here are the best farmers markets in Collin County:
McKinney Farmers Market
When: Every Saturday, April – December | 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
January, February, March | 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Where: 315 S. Chestnut St., McKinney

If you're looking for farm-fresh goodies and small-town charm with a side of tamales, head to the Chestnut Square Farmers Market in McKinney — widely considered the best in Texas. You’ll find everything from grass-fed beef and free-range chicken to eggs so fresh they probably still have gossip from the coop. There’s also produce, pastries, tamales, teas, ginger beer and jerky — basically, it’s like a grocery store, if the grocery store gave you a hug and played acoustic guitar.
Not into food? No worries — there’s goat-milk soap, handmade jewelry and candles that smell like your Pinterest dreams. And just to keep things extra delightful: there’s live music, face painting for the kids (or the very confident adults) and more activities that guarantee “best Saturday ever” status.
Frisco Rotary Farmers Market
When: Every Saturday | 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Where: 3000 Internet Blvd, Frisco
More information
The Frisco Farmers Market has been serving up fresh food and good vibes since 2007. What started with the Lions Club is now proudly run by the Rotary Club. (So yes, your peaches are funding scholarships, non-profits and high-fives for first responders.) Now located at Kaleidoscope Park, you’ll find juicy melons, vine-ripened tomatoes, local honey, wine, tamales, jerky, pasta and basically everything you didn’t know you needed until you saw it in a cute basket. The goal? Support Texas growers, eat better food and make grocery shopping a social event. Come for the corn, stay for the community.
Frisco Fresh Market
When: Every Saturday | 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Every Sunday | 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Where: 9215 John W Elliott Drive, Frisco
More information
The Frisco Farmers Market on Main Street isn’t just a market — it’s a full-blown weekend adventure disguised as grocery shopping. Open rain or shine, year-round (because fresh food doesn’t take vacation), this place has been slinging fresh goods and good vibes since 2018. The market also has chef demos to show you what to do with that weird-looking squash you impulse-bought, plus live music that pairs well with pretty much everything, including carbs.
Frisco Fresh Market is also pet-friendly, so bring your dog, your cat, your emotional support hedgehog — we don’t judge. They’ll love it almost as much as you will. Whether you’re on the hunt for organic kale, a killer sourdough loaf or just an excuse to wear a sunhat and say “Oh this? I got it at the market,” Frisco has you covered.
Georgia's Farmers Market
When: Monday-Saturday | 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Sunday | 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Where: 916 E. 15th St., Plano
More information
Tucked away in downtown Plano, Georgia’s Farmers Market is a family-owned gem. And the best part? It’s open every single day. Yes, even when you forget it’s Tuesday and you desperately need a tomato. The place is stocked with a wide variety of fresh fruits, veggies and other goodies. The owners keep things running smoother than a jar of local honey, and the whole operation feels like a warm hug from someone who insists you take an extra zucchini “just because.” If you're looking for farm-fresh finds without the weekend-only drama, Georgia’s has your back.
Carrollton Artisans Market
When: Every Sunday | 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Where: 2722 N Josey Ln, Carrollton
More information
The Carrollton Farmers Market is run by Four Seasons Markets, known for their charming, European-style markets — think baguettes and good vibes. But this place isn’t just about fresh produce (though yes, the watermelon is judging you for buying grocery store ones). It also throws in beauty services, boutique shopping and tasty bites, all in one convenient Sunday stop.
Open Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., it’s perfectly timed for a post-church stroll. Grab some farm-fresh veggies, get your eyebrows threaded, shop for handmade goods and still be home in time for your afternoon nap.
Celina Friday Night Market
When: First Friday of the month, March – November | 6 – 9 p.m.
Where: Downtown Celina | 142 N. Ohio St., Celina
More information
If you like your shopping with a side of sunset and live music, Celina Friday Night Market delivers. Held in the heart of Downtown Celina, this once-a-month market transforms the square into a lively hub of local pride, community vibes, and handmade everything. With over 60 vendors offering homegrown produce, artisanal pastries, fresh eggs, free-range meats, and handcrafted goods, it’s basically Etsy with better parking and actual snacks.
Hungry? Grab dinner from a food truck or one of the downtown restaurants serving up crowd-pleasers. And while you shop, enjoy live music from a different local artist each month. Whether you're in it for the farm-fresh finds, the friendly faces, or the candle that smells like fall in a jar — this market makes Friday night feel like the weekend showed up early
