Today was my second visit to the Norterra Farmers' Market. I hadn't been in several months because…read moreI was so underwhelmed the first time I went, but I recently saw a post on the Shops At Norterra Twitter account noting their new hours, new location and the delicious tamales one could get there. Cool, I thought, I've been jonesin' for more tamales, the Tamale Store must have opened up a booth up there too. I arrived there shortly after opening (2PM). There were less than 20 booths total, and of those, less than 50% was food. Maybe you feel differently, but to me, farmers' markets should be mostly about the food/produce/etc., not arts/crafts/etc. I was disappointed in that. Next, I strolled through and did not notice a tamale vendor. On the way back through after some strolling through the center, I did notice that one vendor who was selling hot food was selling two varieties of tamales. I can't speak to the quality, but I was definitely disappointed by the selection...or lack thereof. I guess that is my fault for having high expectations based on other farmers' markets in the area. There was a produce vendor, so if you live/work close to the center, maybe this is a good place for you to go, but if you are traveling any sort of distance, I wouldn't recommend this farmers' market. Maybe if the Citadelle didn't have one going on the same day, I'd feel differently. 2.5 stars, rounded down to meh.

There were maybe less than 10 Vendors and only 1 was a produce Vendor (organic produce from "Boxed…read moreGreens")...I was expecting several produce Vendors and there wasn't any Tamale vendor either ((maybe they should stop advertising that))...I didn't stay long...wasn't interested in Gold Canyon candles or Watkins.

They don't provide anywhere near the 60 pounds they advertise. Today I only got 12 pounds and…read moredidn't get 3 of the items they advertised. I posted a review on Google and the owner Nicco responded with very rude comment. He said sometimes people get 100 pounds which is a lie. Other reviews say bad produce and moldy out of date items is the norm. This is also what I have experienced with many trips there. I kept hoping things would get better but after today's experience and the rude comment I received back from the owner I will not return. He also said 1st come 1st served because as the day goes on they give out less. Then I say give extra items of the ones they do have. Very false advertising! Save your $10 and avoid this place.

**July 2026: Saturday Morning**…read more My friend and I were visiting Phoenix and were so excited to check out Uptown Farmers Market! This farmers market is located at a large church and after seeing the variety of vendors it definitely was such a fun way to start the weekend. We arrived around 8:30 a.m. on Saturday morning and had no trouble finding parking, which was a great start. I loved the variety of products featured here! There were everything from groceries and fresh bread to eggs, jams, pickled foods, soaps, and more. I'd guess there were maybe 100-150 vendors total, with most of them set up outside. There was also a section inside the church with a few vendors selling ice cream, produce, and other perishables, and that area was air conditioned, which was very welcome since it was around 110 degrees outside. They also had restrooms available, which was convenient. I believe vendor hours are from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., but because of the summer heat, my friend and I only stayed from about 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. Overall, I loved the variety of Arizona-based products and services and thought it was a really enjoyable market to visit.

I'll say it again, this is THE BEST Farmers market I've ever been to and NOW THERE IS FRESH MADE…read morePAELLA ! Go early - opens at 7am and view the beautiful selection of fresh veggies! No worries here as the growers are present, the bakers are present and the chefs are on site. Prices are unbelievable (says a person who moved from CA!)

I would have rated this a 3.5 if it were an option…read more That being said, I am probably grading this farmer market based on my most recent stay in Charlotte where the farmers markets are measured by acres, not by parking spots. But alas, this is a desert so take this review with that as context. This market is located in the parking of the park and takes approximately 10-12 spots on each side. The majority of the vendors were selling prepared food, merchandise and pet products with only 2-4 vegetable and produce stands. And those stands were limited to most of the basic veggies and fruits you would expect but at prices that were higher than some of their organic counterparts at your local supermarket. Translation - no real deals to be found and very few heirloom vegetables to try. I did buy some veggies and fruit from one of the larger stands at the end of the row, but other than that, there wasn't much to it. I do give them a bonus for being dog friendly. But if your dog isn't really chill, I would avoid this spot because the gallery is tight.

I usually go to the Uptown farmers market but it's quite a long drive for me. I decided to try this…read moremarket since it's only a few miles from my house. There's two fruit and vegetable vendors there. Enough to make it worthwhile if you live close by. The amount of vendors is starting to really grow since I was there last. They did have some fun live music there too. Oil, bread, sweets and a few food/drink trucks. It's nice that it's so close to my house but it's a very small market. Some of the non fresh food vendors were a little too aggressive for my likes but I get it they are there to sell food. The two fresh food vendors were both nice and efficient. It is a little annoying they don't have prices on their food so I never know what anything costs. Spent $50 for the vegetable picture I'm posting.

My weekly load up on veggies, bread, seafood, farm-fresh eggs, and honey!…read more Past review said they only have crafts... wrong! That is during the Sunday market. Saturday has a nice assortment of food vendors. The confusing thing about this market was that it was once located at Alma School & Dynamite shopping area, until business owners in the strip complained of too much traffic. (Do you beleive that? What a fool for a business owner. Traffic = increased business you moron). The market then relo'd to Legacy & Thompson Peak area. I always call the phone number on the contact, to confirm location prior to my shopping adventure. Noteable vendors: The "red shed" produce The egg lady that had a goat to visit Copper State Bread. Guy has a line up prior to opening Seafood Deja-vu coffee is slow to provide service and seemed to be unaware of my presence for a bit. Having been a mobile coffee vendor, I recognize "dead weight" inside the truck causing delayed service. (Again, the faster you "turn" equals increase in revenue). It's not the Pearl Street Farmer's Market in Denver, but it is small, good vendors, and close!

Reasons why I love this market:…read more It's close to my house It's not on a Saturday morning Vendors are always so friendly It's never crowded Compared to other markets, there aren't many vendors. It works for me because it has the basics I always get: fresh herbs, eggs, tea & tamales. I'd love to see more produce but all in all, I think this is a really great little market.

Citadelle's Twilight Farmers Market started up after their summer break a few weeks back. They are…read moreopen Wednesday evenings from 4 - 7pm (until sometime in May). I went last week for the first time, and back again yesterday since it was so good. Most farmer's markets I've been to in Phoenix are generally lame. Mainly because there are 50% or more booths that are selling things like jewelry, knick-knacks or other things that to me belong more at a craft show than a farmer's market. This one, however, is almost all food (the only booth I noticed, other than information, that wasn't food was a table for one of the stores in the plaza). Two or three produce vendors, depending on the week, farm fresh eggs, grass-fed beef, bbq sauce, cider, granola, tamales, etc. etc. My favorite though is the dairy guys with the fresh cheese curds. You'd think you were eating a mouse the way these things squeek! Definitely fresher than the ones at Trader Joes. I am a huge fan of this farmer's market, and am sure all be back plenty of times over the fall/winter. My only minor complaint is that they advertise as Arizona's only farmer's market under the stars...since I pretty sure that the Downtown Market goes on Wednesday night and there is a farmer's market now at Norterra (sucked...see above about non food vendors), it's not even remotely true. 4.9 stars, rounded up!

Got the Sonoran sourdough, some bok choy, Italian meatballs and Gouda, apricots, kumquats, and…read morebroccoli!! They have a decent variety of options :) It was very hot and hours are limited in the summer from 8-11am in June! They were wrapping up when I came around 10:30... keep in mind since I saw somewhere it closes at 1pm but it definitely ends earlier to beat the heat. Otherwise it's a nice street for the farmers market with locally sourced everything. Limited but good variety and nice vibes overall!

Not a lot of produce stands but various throughout the season. Lots of organic products and hand crafted items as well. Throughout the season, there is a kid section with all homemade items made by the kids themselves. Dog friendly and plenty of parking. Friendliest vendors with lots of free samples. Usually goes from October to April, but this year was extended thru May.
