The downtown market is under a covered pavilion.
Outside of the market, on the public streets were food trucks serving breakfast and brunch offerings. They had live music and tables and chairs set up. The market was packed with customers buying produce for the week.
They had a good mix of vendors that sold produce, meats, baked goods (sweet and savory), wool, soaps, plants, and a variety of items including canned goods and drink mixes.
$7 for eggs! Sold out!
The prices were a premium. I nearly choked on some of the prices but hey - good for them!
The market was hustling the whole time we were there. People were buying products for the week and had full bags - not one or two item purchases.
The vendor fees are interesting. They are $96 for a single space plus a percentage of the sales for the day.
Unlike the Sighn Farms experience this was much more of a farmers market event. Folks could sit and enjoy snacks and meals from the food trucks. But it was not the same slower "come and visit" experience. Parking was on the street and easy to find. They did not have a lot of road signs but there was so much hustle around the market it was easy to find.
Phoenix has a farmers market culture much more similar to what I've been used to seeing. There seems to be a good market in each community that is well supported by the city.
