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!

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.

Double warm corn tortillas loaded with meat and all the typical accoutrements (onions, beans and cilantro), meats were tender and flavorful served up with a savory and spicy green chile salsa on the side. CHEFS . I also sprang for a Shrimp & Octopus Cocktail, medium spice. What a treat! If you are mexican food lover, you must try! Head down Monroe past Airport Blvd. (If travelling South), look for it on your left. Only serve up hot foods till 4 during week, not sure on weekends. I was told by the owner/manager, Jordan, that he is in the process of building a food park right next to their location which will be able to handle about 600 people at a time. Booya! If you go, make sure you post your review here. I'd love to hear what you think Side bar - The plate they serve their food on is very sturdy, not one of those cheap white plates that dump your meal on a whim ... travels very well.

Also there has been flys around the meat area. I have seen the workers not change their gloves when dealing with the meats. They pack the meat & with the same gloves they pack the chicken.

Wow, this is one of the better farmers market that I've been too. There's a few back in LA that's…read moretotally worth it while some are just blah. Well this was my first time here and I was quite impressed. The way they have it played out, from fall to late spring, the market is held outdoors in a parking lot. As it starts to heat up as it does in the desert, the market is then moved inside to another location. I love how that whole concept. Farmers market tends to be outdoors which I love but when it's 115 out, it's better for everyone and all the produce to be indoors. Still have a market but working with the weather. There's plenty of parking right across the street which does have some covered spot as well as the lot that's right behind it. It says no pets but I've seen some walking around. Doesn't bother me as I have a little one. They do have an impressive selection of produces with many vendors. A lot of the same things but you get that pretty much at all farmers market. It's like a maze in a sense but very well organized. Only downfall, I love fresh flowers but there was only one vendor. Good for them as they'll be the main supplier but I do like to have options. Of course loads of fruit and berries which is great. A bakery vendor that has amazing baked good that morning. A bit pricey but really good. Just like pretty much all the market, you'll have your fresh fruit, produce straight from the farm, there's eggs, juices, homemade good, fresh baked items and so on. Going toward the back is where the food vendors are located. Grab some breakfast while you're shopping. They also have some tables set up for you to use. Also live music was happening. It's a pretty great one in my opinion and I'm glad to know about it.

It has become the first stop from the airport to stock up on their real Mexican products. The number one item are the carnitas that are prepared there on site . The carnitas are perfectly seasoned and cooked daily. The butcher staff stock the carnitas at the meat counter throughout the day. One recommendation, is to go early in the day to ensure your share . They are highly prized, with a constant demand, and they can run out by the end of the day. The fresh tortillas there go perfect with the carnitas!
