Ahwatukee Farmers’ Market

Great market with all the good stuff. Mostly covered (shade). Come early as things go fast.

Didn’t find much here. A lot of the produce was not marked clearly or at all. The sassy salsa was reasonable and i bought one of those. There were some exotic fruits like tiger melons and the seller advised us on the best way to eat it. Very educational but i didnt care for the taste. Got to see the worlds smallest chickens which made my day

Went once and I found the variety to be lacking, the produce wilted and the pricing more than a little over the top. Won’t go again.

I live in Ahwatukee and would love to support local business, but I found most of the items here are just Okay and lots are over priced. I am looking for bargain that the grocery store does not provide on fruits and veggies. For me to make a seconds trip to shop for veggies, it should be a screaming deal. I probably will not visit this market again unless I have nothing to do and am in the area.

This is a nice farmers market although it’s very small. If you want an amazing farmers market go to Gilbert farmers market its huge and has amazing food the vegetables, fruits and all kinds greens not to mention the variety transplants! I love gilbert farmers market! Do your self a favor and go to farmers market on Saturday! You’ll not be disappointed

Loved it! It feels great to support local stores and eat quality food. I like that there are a few vegan vendors too.

Farmers markets here in AZ seem to be more of a craft fair. Very limited in the produce department. But what they do have is good and those working their booths are polite and helpful. Like the tamales. Tasty variety. Parking was the pits, but it seems they’ve modified that situation a bit.

Have seen this Farmers Market grow over the years and it is better than ever. A great addition to our community. Have purchased some great flowers, plants for the yard and the family loves the tamale vendor. We make it a regular stop on Sundays.

This farmer’s market is right down the street from us and we love it! It has grown tremendously over the years and they’ve recently changed the layout making it easier to navigate. The whole time you are in the shade, which is really nice in the AZ heat. It allows you time to browse and enjoy each booth if you want to. There are about 4 – 5 farms with fresh produce in addition to coffee, burritos, goat’s milk soaps and lotions, pasta, hummus and pita chips, jewelry, olive oils, you name it. Great variety! Those who gave this Farmer’s Market a poor review, shouldn’t be taken into account, for the present state of the market is entirely different!

Every Sunday you’ll see this Farmers Market without fail. It is pretty small, but it has everything you could want. Fresh fruits and veggies from local farmers and delicious food that local venders have made. I had trouble finding a parking spot, but it might have just been a coincidence since I haven’t had trouble finding parking before. It’s open from 9 – 12. You’ll also find people selling their crafts. This is a great little jewel in Ahwatukee!

We have been here in Phoenix for almost five months now and have been trying to find time to go to a Farmers’ Market. This one was conveniently open on a Sunday, which was the only day off we had together for the weekend, so we gave it a shot.
It was definitely on the smaller side of farmers’ markets, but they had some really interesting booths and there was plenty of fruits and veggies to choose from if you prefer the local scene for your food.
Overall: B
If you live in the area and it’s not out of your way — head on over. If it’s a bit of a drive for you, it’s most likely not worth it.

really sad. really small. I am used to farmers markets in other cities. I try not to compare but cant help it when it takes a whole 5 minutes to navigate the whole market. an awful lot of non local products at way to high a price. I did run into a local resident I met when I moved to phoenix 1 ½ months ago and turns out it was his first time here. also his last he said. I am also an animal lover and a crowded market is no place for dogs and non supervised children. the lawyers would have a great time with it. save your hard earned money and go to sprouts.

I love this Farmer’s Market! It is year round every Sunday. Easy to find and lots of parking. There are 4 different fresh veggie/​fruit vendors usually (which is the main reason I go) along with other interesting items (baked goods, tamales, hummus, herbs, etc.) The market opens at 9 AM but will start opening at 8 in June for the hot summer months.

They take cards!
Also, most importantly, this market meets on Sundays!
Friendly (but not hard-​selling) vendors, decent prices for local produce.
Fruit, veg, cheese, grass-​fed beef, soap.
As everyone else has said, if you’re used to big farmer’s markets, scale it down a bit.

I enjoy this Farmer’s Market for a few businesses whose products I enjoy:
— Horny Toad: this lady is a real farmer; no frills, just great pesticide-​free, local veggies and fruits and she’s actually NICE and great to talk to; I love her selection of heirloom tomatoes and her kids are a welcome sight (they actually are well-​behaved and seem to be very helpful in her farm productivity)
— Crows Dairy: they are from Buckeye and have great tasting goat cheese from their Nubian goats.
— Circle Key Farms: they have excellent goat (and beef, etc) selection and the guys that run it are great to talk to and learn more about goats. which I LOOOVE!
— FIshhugger: I like talking to these folks as they are very educational and I have become a convert of their honey selection. I also get my fish from there.
— Alaskan Pride Seafood: I like these guys because they do the fishing for the fish you buy (all Alaskan Wild caught) and their selection is always great. I get my fish here also.
— Red Mountain Cattle Co: I like to get Ground Beef from these folks, thought haven’t because we are eating more lamb and goat these days.
I’ve bought from a ton of other vendors there (salsa, pita chips, hummus, oils, facial cremes, eggs, melons, etc), but these are the ones I go out of my way to buy from.

Made my way over to the Awhatukee Farmer’s Market for the first time last weekend and was quite pleased with it. I love that it’s on Sundays because I’m usually busy with other things on Saturdays.
It’s not huge but it had plenty of yummy foods to tempt me. Like the lavender pepper. When would I ever use this? No idea. But in that moment I thought it seemed amazing. My only complaint was that I got there late (noonish) so they really wasn’t much left in the way of produce. Partly because there were only maybe 2 stands selling produce in the first place. Maybe because it’s winter? Or I guess I just need to get up earlier.
But there were lots of grass-​fed meat stands which was cool. I’m definitely going to go back and try some out.
I walked away with a loaf of bread and a jar of strawberry honey that is really, really good.
Expect to spend money. This place ain’t cheap. But at least you know you’re getting quality food.

I love this market! The only complaint I have is that it doesn’t open early enough. It’s super hot and sunny in the summer and early fall which makes coming to the market during those times unbearable. I wish it opened at 7 am every Sunday and I would be more likely to go to it more often. Right now, it opens at 9 am during the Fall/​Winter hours.
Other than the opening time, I think this market is fantastic. It is big enough to where there is a lot of produce and products to choose from, making it worthwhile to go there, but small enough to where it doesn’t take a long time to walk through. It does tend to get busy, though, so I like to go when it is first opening to get the first choice in produce and beat the crowd.
Definitely give this market a try!

Meh… this farmer’s market is a-​ok. I’ve not been to many in the Phoenix area and this one was better than the last I’d been to but, I think I may be too spoiled by Missouri and California farmer’s markets.
In Missouri, farmer’s markets are actually much less expensive than the stores are. In California, they offer tons of selections. Here, I didn’t see either of those bonuses so other than just wanting to support local vendors, there’s kinda no point to go.
I’ll give it another chance before I make a final decision but so far, I’m not so impressed.
Might see ya there.

I’m trying to buy more locally grown food. The tomatoes looked awesome today. Big melons in abundance, pears, apples, peach cobbler with a big hint of cloves, pita chips, baked breads, large salsa selections, even purple horseradish. Fresh eggs, burritos made on sight, huge zucchinis, local honey and so much more. I haven’t been to this market in over a year and it was so nice to see more produce vendors and less craft vendors. I have a question though — Why Sundays. Why not Saturdays?
Suggestion to the Market — Would love to see an eating area… table and chairs. I like to buy and then eat. The area by the music man would have been great! Great weather on the way… I’ll shall return

Becoming a «regular» here to the point where I dragged my hungover ass there just before closing and the nice Siam Garden lady said «You’re so late today!»
Really wish the ‘tukee market was Saturday instead of Sunday, because as I’m finding some of my favorites are long gone if you’re not there early, and if there’s one morning I’m hungover as hell it’s Sunday
Anyways, my first stop is always the Siam Garden stand at the back of the market. Need my weekly fresh brussels sprout fix. And she always has fresh thai basil, garlic, lettuce, cabbage, broc, green onions…
Crow’s Dairy sells some of the freshest cheese you’ll ever taste, though my late ass missed out on the Chevre today :(
Dr. Hummus has been there lately, there’s a guy with good fresh bread, need to try some of the meat/​fish vendors…
Some decent «artistic» vendors. .. and there’s a homemade soap vendor that was raved about, «It’s the best soap ever». The bars smelled really good, though, I can’t think of homemade soap without thinking of Fight Club…
Things the market is missing. .. fresh pitas. .. mushrooms, maybe I’m missing them. .. an organic milk producer. .. ooo, maybe a small batch craft beer vendor!. .. or maybe tequila. .. be nice if there were some unbrella’d tables and chairs along the concourse to chill at and eat some of the ready to eat foods…
Overall, ya make the best of what you’re lucky enough to have available
