This market operates year-round, adjusting to summer hours. The Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market is a cornerstone of the city’s local food movement, run by Community Food Connections, a non-profit organization dedicated to making fresh, nutritious food accessible. Located in the urban heart of Phoenix, it offers a fantastic opportunity to connect directly with local farmers and small businesses.
You’ll find a diverse array of fresh, seasonal produce, often chemical-free or organic, alongside local honey, grass-fed meats, artisan bread, gourmet pasta, and various prepared foods like hummus, salsas, and baked goods (including gluten-free and vegan options). The vibe here is lively and community-focused. Food trucks are often on-site, offering ready-to-eat meals, and you can grab a cup of local coffee.
Parking is typically available in nearby lots. Going earlier in the summer months is highly recommended to beat the heat. Pets are generally welcome on leash. The market accepts cash, credit cards, and some vendors may accept SNAP/EBT/WIC.
