| - I started as a CSM member for their dairy which meant driving 30 minutes from Central Phoenix to Scottsdale for my pick-up every other week. But it was always worth it for fresh local milk, delicious ice cream, yogurt, farmers cheese, eggs and whatever other goodies were part of the package that week (I'm starting to become physically dependent on their buttermilk syrup - so dreamy). Now I'm so hooked that I don't consider it an inconvenience to drive almost an hour out to the farm for their new Thursday night market! Many of the vendors who are there also participate in other Farmers Markets around the Valley, but the experience of going to the place where your food actually comes from is something that more people should experience these days. This is also a great place to take the kids - there are hay rides, a petting zoo, and just the overall opportunity to experience life on a farm. I'm a former 4-Her who grew up in the country, but I now live in the city and do the whole urban dweller lifestyle, so the trip out to Superstition Farm is a wonderful way to return to my roots every once in a while, while getting access to really delicious, locally produced food.
