Dallas sits on the Blackland Prairie with deep, clay-rich soil that's among Texas's most fertile. Summers are hot around 96°F while winters are mild at 37°F. The area receives 37 inches of rain annually, mostly in spring, with 230 frost-free growing days supporting diverse agriculture from March through November.
Cotton was king in Dallas before it became a business hub, with the Cotton Exchange driving early growth. The surrounding farmland fed cowboys on the Chisholm Trail. Modern Dallas-area farms maintain Texas traditions while embracing agritourism, with many historic properties converting to pick-your-own operations serving the metroplex's growing population.
Strawberry season arrives in late March when the Texas Rangers' season begins. Blackberries ripen by May, followed by peaches from nearby East Texas in June. Summer brings tomatoes, peppers, and melons that love the heat. October means pumpkin patches and corn mazes, while pecans drop in November just in time for Thanksgiving pies.
Farms cluster in Collin County (45 minutes via US-75), Ellis County (40 minutes via I-35E), and east toward Rockwall. Traffic on Dallas highways is lighter on weekend mornings before 9 AM. Spring and fall offer the best weather, though morning summer visits work well. Many farms are near lakes, offering swimming after picking. Some feature live music and food trucks on weekends.
