The second time I had to do it all myself, for both me and my sister, and I got told I was being greedy for buying two load,s, even though we were sharing with other family members, too. They shamed me, patently refused to give me some of what they gave the people ahead of me double amounts of and which they gave to some people behind me in line, too. Told me I was greedy and selfish. I got mocked for crying and was told that I should have known better than to be so selfish and they laughed when some of my food got stolen. The veggies were mostly okay, though. The grapes were all rotten. The third time I went, years later, I got one load and they gave me most of the things they gave other people but the volunteer handing out the paper towels literally threw them at me and said "I guess you have to get every free thing you can!" They gave me several boxes of dates. The veggies were good. The fourth time everything was rotten except a few only semi okay veggies. Less than 7 lbs total. I would have gotten a better deal from the grocery store. They were definitely playing favorites among both known people and for other reasons. The fifth and last time I went we ordered ahead and they were just going to load us up. They only loaded up for one family but three of us came. Then, after a lot of arguing, they grudgingly gave us three rolls of paper towels and two boxes of dates and called it good. I hear very good things about this organization. So, I am thinking it is more about the volunteers they happen to get in certain neighborhoods. The first time we went, we drove pretty far out of our way and it was great. The other times were all in the Sacred Heart Parking lot except one time when it was nearer to this area of town but not quite that close.

Cheap Veggies!!!! I love Borderland's amazing produce rescue program. On a Saturday schedule at…read morevarious community organizations in Tucson and Phoenix volunteers coordinate the veggie pickups. You pay $10 cash and take your own box, crate, or some grocery bags and load up 60 pounds of fruits and vegetables. Each Saturday they have a different assortment of vegetables which is posted on their Facebook and website. Usually between 7am and 10am. Program runs during produce season, November through August. Produce available, from my understanding, is whatever they couldn't market and is tagged to be trashed. Perfectly good stuff, some of the peppers may be funny shapes with a few blemishes, and some things may be closer to their spoiling point, but for the most part it's perfect. This weekend we went to the pickup at St. Francis in the Foothills church on Swan and East River. For $10 you were allowed to take 37 Roma tomatoes, 4 butternut squash, 11 pickling cucumbers, 3 mini watermelons, 11 yellow bell peppers, 11 orange bell peppers, 11 yellow squash, and 1 bag mini sweet bell peppers. The variety and amount of each veggie you can take always changes, but it always equals about 60 pounds. We almost always split our box with a friend because it is too much for our household of two. Totally worth it if you can get yourself up and out of the house early on a Saturday.

The first time I visited, it was so busy that we only grabbed a couple of sweets to go…read more On our second visit, it was much quieter, so we decided to order two paninis. We tried the Prosciutto Special on ciabatta. It was delicious, but we couldn't help thinking the meat tasted more like turkey than prosciutto. I even asked the attendant about it, and she assured me it was prosciutto. We also ordered the Turkey Pesto panini, which had great flavor. The only downside was that the bread was a bit too hard. Unfortunately, the ciabatta on the Prosciutto Special was very soggy on the bottom and started falling apart, which was disappointing. The café itself is very cute, bright, and open. We took our paninis and pastries next door to the brewery, and they paired perfectly with the beers, making for a really enjoyable lunch. We also picked up two pastries, and both were excellent. Overall, despite a couple of issues with the sandwiches, we enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back for the baked treats.

One of my friends told me to try Lion's Mane so I found Desert Pearl at the Rincon Farmers Market with the tinctures and thought I would give it a try, and it works amazingly. I feel so much better during the day and my brain fog is so much better. I sound like a commercial reading this but seriously it worked for me. My doctor had me on a antidepressant for the brain fog and it sucked, it changed my sense of taste and as a foodie I was not having that, so yeah this stuff is the best. It does not taste great but it works so well. If you are a woman going through menopause I would suggest giving it a try.

The first time I discovered DPM I was shocked a place in town sold gourmet mushrooms to the general public at an affordable price. If you go to Whole Foods and compare the price and freshness, you can't compare at all! What's ever better is their local to Tucson and some really awesome people behind the table. They aren't pushy for your money and have so much knowledge for their customers who are curious, and like me never had access to mushrooms that aren't normally located in our grocery store. They also are at all the heirloom markets in town so they are always accessible during the week! If you are into exploring gourmet mushrooms to spice up your cooking game, seriously check them out!

Wife and I just happened to be downtown, so we decided to stop by. From the second we walked out…read moreback to the market, it was wall to wall disappointment. Small area, very few vendors, but the products we did buy from there weren't too bad. Found out later from some other Yelpers that this particular farmer's market was more of a "vendors optional" approach, meaning no consistency and vendors show up when they feel like it. Unfortunately, unless this farmer's market finds a larger location, the potential to improve is more or less zero. If they could find a larger space and have vendors show up on a weekly basis, this place could have huge potential just for the fact that it is downtown.
