Discover more about Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market

The Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market is more than just a place to buy groceries; it's a community gathering spot that embodies the spirit of Phoenix. Every Saturday, the market transforms a parking lot in the Phoenix Bioscience Core into a bustling hub of activity. Since its establishment in 2005, the market has been committed to providing access to locally grown and produced goods. You'll find a wide variety of vendors offering everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to grass-fed meats, artisanal cheeses, baked goods, and handcrafted items. Many vendors offer gluten-free and vegan options. The market is a great place to meet the farmers and producers behind the food. Chat with them about their growing practices, sample their products, and learn about the local food system. In addition to food, you can also find unique handmade goods, such as jewelry, crafts, soaps, and lotions. The Downtown Phoenix Farmers Market is operated by Community Food Connections (CFC), a non-profit organization dedicated to making quality, nutritious food more accessible. The market also hosts special events throughout the year, such as the Phoestival of Health, which features fitness classes, cooking demonstrations, and health screenings. The market moved to its current location at 720 N 5th St in May 2022, after 17 years at its original location. The move was prompted by the sale of the original site and the need for more space to serve the growing downtown Phoenix population. The market is open rain or shine, so you can enjoy fresh, local food year-round.
