Local Farmer’s Markets

Downtown and Historic Central Phoenix Public Farmers Markets

Phoenix Local Farmer’s Markets are a fantastic way to shop organically and support your local farmers. So, if you like this sort of shopping like many people do, here’s a list of the local farmer’s markets in Central and Downtown Phoenix, Arizona as well as Scottsdale.

Organic Produce and More

Phoenix Local Farmers MarketsI frequent these markets and have become great friends with so many of these trusted vendors. I buy all my organic produce (and a bunch of SO MANY other cool items (like Pink Himalayan Sea Salts, grass fed and grass finished beef, for example) from these markets and it’s a win-win for everyone and there’s an endless array of items to choose.

Support Your Local Farmers

We get to support our local farmers and economy while getting fresh, local, organic food FOR LESS MONEY than most grocery stores. You just can’t go wrong with that!

Amazing Local Phoenix Vendors

The vendors and local farmers benefit greatly and it helps keep their businesses alive and growing. Plus, the added benefit and one of the most important things in life (in my opinion) is creating great friendships.

VERY Pet-Friendly

Additionally, the people (and their 4-legged furry friends) that you meet walking around these markets are also wonderful and like-minded. So, if you haven’t been to a local farmer’s market yet, I can’t suggest it highly enough!

The Phoenix Public Market

The Open Air Market at the Phoenix Public Market is a program of Community Food Connections (CFC), a 501c3 non-profit organization. As a result, CFC creates a downtown community gathering place by supporting small farmers and businesses that strengthen sustainable food systems and produce healthy products for the local community.
