Wolfforth, TX – The Wolfforth Farmers Market, located at 8924 County Rd 7100, has officially changed its Sunday schedule. Beginning immediately, the market will operate from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. each Sunday, a permanent adjustment designed to accommodate vendors, shoppers, and the earlier sunset that comes with the fall and winter months.
Why the Change?
Market organizers explained that the previous Sunday hours of 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. often left vendors and visitors navigating diminishing daylight, especially after Daylight Saving Time ends. By moving the start time earlier, the market ensures that transactions, animal displays, and food‑truck service occur while there is still ample natural light, making the experience safer and more enjoyable for families.
What the Market Offers
The Wolfforth Farmers Market is a bustling hub of local agriculture and craftsmanship. Shoppers can find fresh produce, eggs, meat, honey, and even tallow, alongside a variety of artisan goods such as leather items, beaded jewelry, flower arrangements, and antiques. Food trucks provide quick bites, and live animal displays add a unique, family‑friendly element. International snacks and plant sales further diversify the offerings, ensuring there truly is something for everyone.
How to Get Involved
Farmers, makers, and other producers interested in renting a barn or tent space are encouraged to reach out directly. The market’s contact method is a simple text to 806‑589‑9151 during business hours (Monday‑Friday, 10 a.m.‑5 p.m.). Organizers also recommend checking the market’s Facebook page for announcements about open vendor spots. Fees are described as “extremely reasonable,” reflecting the high foot traffic the market consistently draws.
Visitor Tips
First‑time visitors are welcomed with open arms. Market staff note that the community of vendors is friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to share the stories behind their products. Attendees often enjoy strolling among the stalls, meeting the animals, and discovering new foods or crafts. Parking is available nearby, though a short walk may be required to reach the market grounds.
Looking Ahead
The permanent Sunday schedule is intended to eliminate future confusion and provide a stable framework for both vendors and shoppers. By aligning operating hours with daylight patterns, the market hopes to maintain its reputation as a vibrant, family‑oriented destination throughout the year.
