Guadalupe Farmer’s Market

I was visiting family in the area and we came across this little market. Most of their produce is fairly cheap and really fresh. We bought a lot of spices and other fresh products. However, my favorite item was the fresh honey. It was really good and rare to find honey this fresh and good at a small mom & pop market. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.

This place was so trippy. Its a local food store, uhaul rental and farmers market. I bought some red chili pepper powder. Pretty cheap and looks really fresh!

Cute little place that’s super easy to get to! The people inside are super helpful and knowledgable about everything in the store! The store is small and clean with lots of local produce! Tons of local honey!!! And they have a little rewards deal where you spend x amount of dollars and that earns you an x amount of free groceries!!! I’ll definitely be back there for treats!!!

i like shopping at this little market. I think ownership has changed recently and the girl who helped me was extremely friendly and helpful. Years ago they used to have a cool bee colony in the wall and you could watch the bees in action but it’s gone now :(I find the prices here more reasonable than the market on baseline & 32^nd st with much more friendly service so I dont

Great little store. The cashier was extremely nice and helpful. The prices were great. I will make the journey out here again for more honey.

A hidden away Farmer’s market, drive too fast and you may miss it. I came here because I saw it on the Food Network with Bobby Flay and I thought I would stop in. The counter lady was very friendly and the store was small with an outside chili roaster. I am not sure if they were cleared out for Thanksgiving or if supplies had not come in yet because they were on the low side. However, the golden apples I purchased were delicious, I ate 5 of them that night! I love that I can come here for local honey.

Love love love local farmers markets. I personally don’t like going into Guadalupe, but I needed to. I stopped by and loaded up on Paleo supplies. Great stuff!

This is a great place to visit in Guadalupe. Not only can you find great reasonably priced and specialty produce (where else can you find cactus fruit when it’s in season?!), but it’s also a wonderful place to get local AZ gifts for the foodies on your list. This includes locally grown beans — try the peruanas for example.
If you sign up for their email newsletter you’ll get a reminder when they have real New Mex Hatch chilies for order in the Fall. It’s fun to get a big bag, roasted on the spot, then we divide ‘em up with friends and freeze them in small portions to use for the next few months.
It’s a friendly place and a fun adventure — a great side trip if you have out of town friends visiting.
The only negative is that occasionally some of the produce is past its prime, but that happens in the big chain groceries too, and you don’t have to buy it of course. But the selection of local and different ingredients (especially roasted chilies!) outweighs that one small issue.

Unfortunately the store is a little out of the way for me since I don’t often go through Guadalupe. Stopped off and did a little browsing and chatted with Loyola? the new owner. Very friendly lady who gave me a run down on the various local products she stocked. Ended up with some great cherry butter — tasty salsa from O’doyles and locally made cheese from Gilbert. Also appeared to have a good selection of vegetables and friut and chilis etc.
Just a pity they are located a little bit out of the way

I went there today to check out the Hatch Chili Throw-​down that was starting at 1:00pm.
We got there and noticed that is location is just like the market on Power Rd. named Guadalupe Farmers Market Too.
Then the light bulb goes off «ding»…wow talk about a blond moment. I guess the names give away the relation. Anyway.
The cook-​off was no where to be seen, but they were roasting fresh Hatch chilies. I was not really impressed with the selection inside and the prices were a bit high. We ended up getting some delicious smelling chilies and fresh tortillas. (Food City has cheaper roasted Hatch chilies on the weekend).
It was a nice trip but I’m not sure it is worth a second try.

This place is great. The food actually smells like; wait for it, food. I had some strawberries here on the middle of June that took me back to childhood. Red, blood red inside that green plastic basket with plastic sheet over the top being held down by a rubber band. They were delicious. AND they actually had juice in them. Not the creepy Driscoll brand that is sweet with no juice.
On an econimic note, he’s usually 5 to 15% less expensive than the chain supermarkets. He buys locally and organically when he can, and he’s a good guy. His name is Frank I believe. If you don’t remember what real food looks/​smells/​tastes like, come here. It’ll be neat.

This place manages to stay pretty under the radar even though it wins awards left and right in local publications. The reason I would guess is because it is situated right in downtown Guadalupe. If you are not sure what Guadalupe is, it is a small community founded by Yaqui Indians that incorporated their own town right in the middle of Tempe and Phoenix. The town is now mainly Native American and Hispanic and is about one square mile in size.
The Farmer’s Market has an amazing assortment of super fresh produce and they even make their own honey. Right inside the door you can see some live bees hard at work making the delicious varieties. Because this market is in an area with a lot of Hispanic residents they carry a large selection of Peppers fresh and dried. They get a lot of their produce from local farmers and offer some organic choices.
I know some people who are intimidated about going here because they fear the neighborhood it is in is ‘different’ than their stucco and chicken wire Stepford neighborhoods, but I have never had a problem going here day or night.
One thing to be cautious of is the fact that this town’s speed limit is 25 MPH everywhere and you better observe it. For one thing there are a lot of dogs and people crossing the street all over the place so the slow speed is safest for everyone. Also, Guadalupe has their own police and they will not hesitate to pull you over because you think 25 is just too slow.
