About Dallas Farmers Market
A small, dedicated group of people who care deeply about food, community, and this corner of downtown Dallas.
The Dallas Farmers Market is run by a close-knit team of people who show up before sunrise on Saturday mornings and stay until the last vendor is packed up. We're proud to introduce them. Drop by the market office or reach us by phone — we're always glad to hear from neighbors.
Director of The Market
Lisa joined the Dallas Farmers Market team in 2018 and enjoys working and building relationships with the retail owners at the Dallas Farmers Market.
She loves the energy and atmosphere at The Market which ties in nicely with her outgoing nature. When in The Market, listen for a native New York accent; that could be Lisa!

Director of Programming & Events
Emily's passion is to provide programming, events, and specialty vendor markets to the DFM residents and community.
Her upbringing in Lafayette, LA, allowed her to be immersed in a world of outdoor cultural events and festivities. This led her to pursue a career in Programming, where she gained experience curating festivals, concerts, wellness classes, and tons of other unique events.
As an avid lover of the arts and an artist, you may see some of her designs on chalkboards and signage around The Shed!

Farmers Market Director
Ricky's passion for farmers markets started at a young age attending the tiny farmers market at the feed store in his grandparent's small town in Southern Arizona.
He interned with the Bloomfield Saturday Market during undergrad and ran the weekly farmers market in Pittsburgh, PA for two seasons. After bouncing around a bit, he took a position with the Lynchburg Community Market and took over as Market Manager for four years.
While there, he served on numerous boards and committees including the Virginia Farmers Market Association. Outside of work he likes to go hiking and camping and gets out of the city when he can.

Farmers Market Assistant Director
Kate grew up on a farm in the countryside near Fredericksburg, TX, where she spent her days surrounded by gardens, livestock, and a healthy dose of country charm.
Thanks to 4-H, she got to show turkeys (yes, turkeys) and compete in all sorts of agricultural competitions. Along with recently graduating from Texas A&M University with a degree in Agribusiness, Kate has hands-on experience working on a ranch, helping local farms, and even contributed to public radio as an on-air personality.
Favorite ALL. OF. THEM.
For general inquiries, vendor questions, media requests, event bookings, or anything else — we're easy to reach. The market office is open Monday through Friday during regular business hours.
