Tucson Farmers Market at St. Philip's Plaza

Open for more than a decade, the weekly market, with some 50 regional farmers, ranchers and artisan food producers, offers a plesant outdoor shopping experience in the courtyard and walkways of St. Philips Plaza. Vendors include Amado's Agua Linda Farms, selling whatever produce is in season; Double Check Ranch, selling natural beef; and Flor de Mayo, with an array of native Southwestern foods from beans to teas. You can also munch as you go, thanks to folks like Rod's KC BBQ, Village Bakehouse and Mamma Llama's Empanada's. Other vendors offer homemade teas, jellies and soaps and local honey. Beginning in mid-October, the hours shift to 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
