The McKinney Farmers Market is held weekly on Saturdays from April - December (8 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.) There are a wide variety of vendors offering local, grass-fed beef and free-range chicken, eggs, and farm fresh produce shoppers will also find specialty items such as tamales, pastries, teas, ginger beer, jerky and so much more. McKinney's Farmers Market also offers a wide selection of arts and crafts vendors who have locally made goat milk soap, walking sticks, jewelry, candles, and more! Live music, face painting, and pony rides are always a treat and are available every Saturday.
This nature preserve is made up of a variety of habitats and miles of nature trails. The Heard museum features bird blinds, an Animals of the World Exhibit, an educational pioneer village, butterfly gardens, and a variety of indoor exhibits for you all to explore! For any dinosaur lovers - encounter their 46-foot T-Rex and nine new life-size animatronic dinosaurs along the nature trails during the annual Dinosaurs Live exhibit that visits the Heard every fall into winter.
