I had read about Temalpakh Farm and we have wanted to visit for a while…read more Today we drive out to the farm, which is just south of Augustine Casino on Van Buren. The physical farm is very beautiful with fruit trees everywhere. The market is clean and bright, full of items I would like to buy and also give as gifts from local farmers. I saw vegetables and handcrafted oils, soaps, native basketry, and the beautiful smoothie bar. I bought the most fragrant kale, plump green onions, russet potatoes, berry with ginger jam and a spicy hot sauce. The farm brings in products from other local businesses. The farm is easy to reach from Indio or Palm Desert. Having organic treasures like this is such a treat. Do check it out.

I know, I know, there's probably no chance that you're out this way, in the middle of the desert,…read moreon a native land site with nothing around. But if you are, Temalpakh Farm has extremely fresh, home grown produce and some other products produced by fellow Native Americans from the Western US. How did I get here? I went to Desert X 2025 (which I adore) and one of the art installations was on this site. Yes, they make you drive to weird and wonderful places for the biennial art scavenger hunt. The farm site has a new parking lot, an elevated outdoor seating area that is great for hosting company events or parties (as long as it is not in the hot summer months) and even a pond with a water fountain that might double as part of their irrigation system. When I was was there in May, some of the seasonal produce included heirloom tomatoes, squash blossoms, butter lettuce and artichokes. What could possibly be the best thing in the farmer's market is their smoothie stand. This being the palm desert, a majority of their freshly made smoothies have dates in them! Palm Tree Brew (coffee cold brew, unsweetened almond milk, banana, dates, mesquite powder, honey, date syrup, salt) - Okay, a coffee date shake is not for everyone, but if that's your thing, they make a great one. It's a perfect balance of everything, you can taste the coffee, the dates, the banana, the honey. All the ingredients were fresh, served smooth blended, nice and cold. A safer bet for most would be to stick with one of the other fruity date shakes here. Palm Tree is general date shake, Berri Crunch has mixed berries and dates, the Hulk has dates, spinach, kale, carrots, avocado, apple juice and pineapple juice, Green Feather has dates, banana, apple, avocado, kale, spinach and Farm's Dragon has dragon fruit, dates, pineapple, banana, chia/flaxseed and shredded coconut. This farm is under the same ownership group as the local Native American casino nearby. If you happen to be near the area, check out this farmer's market!

Today we took advantage of being retired geezers on a Monday and drove out to Indio to buy some…read morefresh produce and get some lunch that has been recommended here on Nextdoor. The store is on the northeast corner of Jackson and Avenue 50. {If you don't want to have heart palpitations, come in from Calhoun Street going south and turn right on Avenue 50, and right into the lot on the corner of Jackson because the cars from the two two-lane roads hustling at that Stop Sign are enough to raise your blood pressure a lot.} We saw displays of the most beautiful produce inside the door. Plump oranges, zucchinis, broccoli, cucumbers and many other items show off their freshness and aroma. We found cucumbers, zucchini, carrots and the most fragrant strawberries ever. A bottle of Pico Pica hot sauce rounded out the purchase. Their food truck is parked on the southeast corner of their lot. @elowtitos @lgdesertstore We ordered two carne asada mulitas, a burrito, and loaded fries. Everything was delicious. The staff in the store as well as the food truck are so lovely. My husband was using a walker and everyone in the store was super helpful. We look forward to scooting over often now that we know about this wonderful group of people and the magnificent fruits and vegetables.

Their shop opens at 10am, and they do sell out most days at this point in the season so I would recommend getting to the stand early. This season, strawberries are $5.99/pint, $15 for 3 pints.

While I understand the effort to offer fresh, locally sourced produce, the prices feel a bit high, especially considering that this side of Indio is more lower-middle class. Perhaps they could consider lowering prices on produce that's slightly going bad to make it more accessible to everyone!

Wow - this place is cool!…read more We came to meet local friends for breakfast - which was excellent. After breakfast, we walked the gardens. They're amazing. It was still late winter (March), so things were very lush yet, though still worth touring. The gardens are part trees, plants, shrubs flowers and Christian religious artifacts and settings. We took about 20 to 30 minutes to walk through the gardens but one could take up to an hour, taking in everything, reading all the plaques and taking pictures of it all. We loved the gardens and recommend it to anyone.

Great attitude and there to assist 100% an excellent ambassador to the brand, he has the right stuff. YESTERDAY, While this is not the closest market, it is the one I choose to drive to as the market itself is great. Some of the staff, not so happy to be there. LOCATION: Excellent as long as you know how to get there off the 111. Don't miss the turn or you are screwed. Lots of parking and carts. FACILITY: Very nice buildout, wide isles, and ascetically very easy on the eye as you can see across the store. Bright and open. SELECTION: Not a huge selection but for me most of what I am looking for in greens, fish, and breads. I have my favorites and they are always in stock. QUALITY: Always top quality, someone is on this. Veggies are top notch and always arranged well. Excellent bread options as well as bulk. PRICING: About the same as other markets. STAFF: Since I shop here about one a week, not sure on this one, most people working here just do not seem happy or overly helpful. My last visit on a not busy afternoon, saw 10 people waiting to pay with one poor guy doing his best checking and bagging as a co-worker looked on and ignored the situation. She is also a manager I believe. Yo, we all got options do your job make happy customers happen especially when they are trying to pay so they can get on with their day. People here are obviously doing their jobs as the market is always looking great and well stocked, but zero eye contact, no smiles, and seem like robots... hummmm, maybe they are? I hope they are happy. TIP: Getting there early check out the Managers Specials, great deals to be had on turn items.

Easy to find but parking can be difficult at times. FACILITY: perfect location for a farmers market, lots of vendors and open spaces. They seem to be dog friendly which is unusual for most open markets. SELECTION: all kinds of things from fruits and vegetables to handmade crafts. Lots of vendor food as well as local restaurants to choose from Tamales are great. OVERALL VALUE: while it is fun, it is really expensive for fresh produce. Not sure why that is but we just look around and seldom purchase anything as most of it seems overpriced. TIP: Get there when it opens, parking is easier and lines at the popular booths are shorter.
