🌻 “Rooted in Palestine. Growing Together.”

In 2020, empty grocery shelves reminded us how fragile the global food chain can be—and how much we need strong, local connections. That’s when Market Managers Roger and April Shaner began dreaming of something more for our community.

They envisioned a place where farmers, ranchers, homesteaders, food producers, artisans, and neighbors could gather—not just to buy and sell, but to share ideas, support one another, and celebrate East Texas traditions.

That vision became the Palestine Farmers Market, located in the heart of Palestine’s historic Main Street district.

Today, our pavilion is alive with activity every week. You’ll find:
🌾 Fresh, locally grown produce
🥩 Pasture-raised meats, eggs & honey
🍞 Homemade baked goods & artisan crafts
👩‍🌾 Young entrepreneurs building their dreams
🎉 Family-friendly events that bring our community together

Whether you’re shopping, selling, or just stopping by to visit, the Palestine Farmers Market is where local grows—and community thrives.
