Heirloom farmer's markets -- Oro Valley It's a fun place…read morewith a real diversity of vendors. It's a great place to hold a farmer's market, plenty of open area so if you have some kids, can blow off some steam...the bathrooms are clean as well. There's also a museum there with lots of great history. It's called the Steam Pump Ranch. Some of the docents are really a type of living history. One of them was the former mayor in Oro Valley. In the past I have met family members who grew up on the ranch as docents, The museum still has a history of the ranch as a focus in one area and they focus on the 250 year history of the USA with an Arizona emphasis on another. Lots of dogs and some of them are quite friendly...you still have to be dog smart.. The vendors were friendly and helpful with information about their products... There is a wide variety of fresh products for sale. They have a website that lists a lot of the vendors. They have several locations around they have fresh hot food vendors, grocery food vendors,a couple of bakeries, health and wellness vendors,and artisans. It's always fun to enjoy the fresh smells from roasting chili's to pupusas, homemade burritos, Korean Barbecue, baked goods and homemade soups! Click on their website through Yelp to get details about vendors and artisans available at each farmers market.

It's refreshing to find a truly legitimate farmers market offering freshly grown vegetables,…read morefruits, and even a nice selection of mushrooms. They also carry chicken, quail, and duck eggs, along with a variety of pickled vegetables and handmade soaps from local goat farms. It's everything you'd hope for in an authentic market. Most "farmers markets" in Tucson tend to be more like flea markets, with vendors mainly selling homemade trinkets rather than actual farm-grown goods, so this one is a welcome change. The atmosphere is friendly, the vendors are knowledgeable, and there's a wide variety of options to explore. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for genuine local produce and a warm community vibe.

I've been buying prime rib roasts here for various holiday events for the past few years and each…read moretime has been great. Aside from the different cuts of meat, Dickman's also has delicious twice baked potatoes and stuffed mushrooms. They have other things I still need to try, such as sandwiches, but I've yet to order any. This last holiday, to save myself anxiety and FOMO, I called in to Dickman's to pre-order a rib roast. I believe I called in on a Friday for a pick-up the following Monday. As usual, there was a line, but it goes fairly quickly. I get up to the counter, give them my name for the reserved roast and add some green chile twice baked potatoes to the order. I walk over to the register, tell the cashier my name and what I'm buying; I pay and I'm outta there. Easy peasy. If you don't have a trusty butcher and don't want to buy from the regular grocery store, Dickman's is well worth it.

This is where my husband usually finds flowers for me :) This is a great place to grab a gift or treat for someone. We always hit up the bakery section and buy a $2 hibiscus iced tea before we shop at La Encantada. I also just found out kids under 12 get a free cookie which is a nice perk. I do wish they had more vegan and vegetarian options at their hot bar and prepared foods section.

My go to for fantastic wine selection and great prices allow you to try something new all the time. There is always someone to help in the wine department to help you pick something out if you need to. My only issue would be they need to hire more cashiers. 9 times out 10 it's busy and they have lines. The best is the option to to have your food or wine outside where they have plenty of tables and even a beautiful fire place!

I've been getting two meals a day (lunch and dinner) pretty much every day for over a year now. I love how much protein is included in the meals, and I'm always excited to see the new options they rotate in each month. Everything I've tried here tastes great, and I'm especially happy they brought back fish. My only qualm is that a lot of the dishes include pork--I wish they could swap the bacon for beef chorizo, turkey bacon, or another non-pork alternative. They currently offer one vegetarian option, Pad Thai, but you can add chicken to it, which I always do.

A big issue I had before was that items often lacked shelf labels in English & since a lot of their products are imported, their packaging is in different languages so for those of us who wanted to try new products, it was a somewhat risky endeavor lol Now, pretty much all shelves had labels in English under the products. Super helpful & really made a difference during my latest shopping trip. The place also smelled fresher than it used to. It was still way too cold so take a sweater if you're going to shop!
