| - Finally! A farmers market in downtown Tempe!
They are located literally across the street from the old co-op that left a void in the neighborhood when it was torn down to build some pie-in-the-sky condo tower. (Which never got built and never will. We got a big, ugly, empty, useless dirt lot.)
The Tempe Farmers Market has done everything right: it's located in an old brick building that they have fixed up, they carry tons of Arizona products like fresh produce, salsa, jam, honey. (A lot of it made right in Tempe.) They also carry meats, artisan breads, milk, soy milk, chips, candy, coffee, tea, syrup, and granola. They even carry pain killer, allergy medicine and condoms. There was even ceramic art for sale.
I could not have made this place any more amazing. They took all the right ideas and created something that Tempe has needed in that location for a long time. (Bet you're sorry you didn't listen to me now Fresh and Easy!)
Let's be honest: downtown Tempe is by far the most urban area in the valley, yet we had no stores like this. But thankfully we do now! I plan on buying all my produce here from now on. Thank you to whoever did the work to make this happen. This neighborhood resident is thrilled.
