 The
Farmers Market offers the freshest, local foods available. This
means that foods are available when they are in-season in Arizona.
You won't find strawberries or eggplant every month of the year,
but you will find the freshest produce anywhere at the time when
it is of prime quality and we are meant to eat it. Following is
a partial list of what is available at the farmers market right
now.
WHAT'S IN THE MARKET BASKET?
As the market begins, expect to find freshly-made tamales, pastries
and breads. Among vegetables, look for mixed salad greens, like
mesclun, lettuce and arugula. Also, kale, chard, beets, turnips,
radishes, garlic chives, mint and thyme. Later in the season, look
for squash (including zucchini and their blossoms, fennel, apples,
peaches, pears, nectarines and much more. Vendors also will be offering
pickles, freshly-made jams and jellies. And, of course, look for
fresh-cut flowers.
