From local artists to backyard gardeners, Wylie Urban Farm & Market’s vendors bring a diverse range of products together under one roof. Shoppers can find fresh food, tea, coffee, condiments, health and beauty items, art, books and handcrafted accessories at 2315 East Stone Road.
The Wylie Urban Farm & Market is going beyond the boundaries of traditional farmers markets to make local goods and community gatherings accessible year-round. Since mid-November, founder and owner Brandon Iker has welcomed visitors and vendors alike to make the business their “third place,” a social space apart from home and the workplace.
Raised as a farm kid in Ohio, Iker saw the “third place” in action as a grad student in Tucson, Arizona and was inspired to combine the concepts of local food and community to create his own. He saw a need for such a place in Wylie soon after moving to the area.
