Ok, this place is our favorite spot for made from scratch sausage and steaks. The location is…read moreperfect for anyone on the east side of town. It has a large parking lot and because it's a bit off the beaten path, it's easy to get in and out quickly. Now they have upped their game even more with the addition of their new food truck! It's parked right outside the front door and is loaded with an incredible menu. Everything is made to order and worth the wait! The sandwiches are large and shareable. They have a weekly sausage sandwich special so be sure to ask about it before you decide on what to order. My husband and I split the Philly cheesesteak and it was phenomenal!

5 stars all day. I was traveling and had some deer on ice to process so figured I would try my luck…read morein Tucson. I called and told them I would have to pick it up in a week or two and they offered to do it that day and pick up first thing in the morning. I dealt with Jr. (Family business I assume) the day I dropped it off and he was awesome. He explained all the prices, cuts, mixes and said he would process anything I had brought in, price was per deer and additional for beef/pork. The wrapping job was great and everything was labeled clearly. The next day everything was just as they said, they washed out my coolers for me and loaded them in my truck (I tried to do it myself, but they insisted). IT IS CASH though. I had to go grab some at an ATM, wasn't a big deal. I was more than happy to. Everything was clean. The freezer had cow, deer, goat, and some really cool exotics. I was thrown off at first because the address is a house in front but their facilities were solid when I drove around. I'll be suggesting these guys to other people and will plan a stop in Tucson after hunting trips when able. Good job guys.

One we them a couple times. Always a great outcome. Meat turns out well processed and delicious…read more They're professional and courteous and do a good, clean job. Prices did go up a bit this year, but all in all very happy with the game processing they do here.

I absolutely loved everything I have tried from Tucson Village Farm's outdoor midweek market…read more Today's market was the last one for the season but they will resume it on September 9th (They post updates, menu for their prepared foods as well as the produce they will be selling each week at the midweek market on their Instagram account). I don't go very often because of the lines to pay but whenever I did go I LOVED what I tried. Today I got their delicious, fluffy, fresh and garlicky focaccia which was my favorite focaccia I have bought in Tucson. I also got their baba ganoush, something I am fairly picky about since I make it myself by roasting eggplants on a fire and this one was delicious. It had a touch of spiciness to it which I really enjoyed. I also really enjoyed sampling their mulligatawny soup and enjoyed the complimentary Hibiscus- Creosote drink they served today. Produce wise it was fun to find some sweet potato leaves today and I am looking forward to using them in a West African stew. I also got some eggplant and tomatoes. They had some nice looking garlic, onions, and squash. Last time I was there was last summer and they had delicious, fun, creative prepared dishes then too like a sunflower seed, basil pesto with purslane, a refreshing curtido and a green curry. The fluffy focaccia was $5 today and the baba ganoush was $5 as well. Tucson Village Farm offers various programs to support their goal to "reconnect young people to a healthy food system, teach them how to grow and prepare fresh food, and empower them to make healthy life choices.

We went for their annual holiday market. It was packed!!! I never knew this place existed and I…read morethink a lot of others found out about it from this market, too. It's a farm run by youths. They have weekly farmers markets with things they make and grow such as pizza and soups. I hear the pizza is great! The holiday market had live music, chickens to pet, lots of handmade items from the farm. I was a little confused on how to pay for the items. I believe you get a ticket and everyone gets in one long line. I'll be back to try the pizza and hopefully the line will be short. Very cute place to bring kids to. To see the veggies growing, the youths working etc. very large parking lot right off the entrance.

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.

Black Market BBQ is, quite simply, the best BBQ I've found in Tucson since moving here 4 years ago…read more My favorites are their ribs and their brisket, both of which have been excellent almost every time I've visited them. The ribs and brisket are so good they don't need any sauce added, but Black Market provides sauce for those who want it. They also have chicken and pulled pork. They don't always have burnt ends or sausages but, when they do, they're amazing. Their sides are quite good too, but I usually stick with the mac n cheese, which is my favorite. Brooks, the owner, runs a well-oiled machine. The portions are generous and the prices are fair. They're a food truck, so you'll have to follow them on social media to find out where they'll be but it's definitely worth the trip. I usually catch them at Caps & Corks at the corner of W River Rd and W Orange Grove Rd. Give them a try. You won't regret it.

I'm going to start out with the really good stuff and go on from there…read more 1. The brisket was cooked to perfection. I liked the Bbq sauce even though it was sweet, I generally like it a little vinegary. 2.. They are a well oiled machine for 2 people cranking out foo that is good and quick. 3. The sides I had Mac and cheese salty, way salty to emphasize and bland. The Coldslaw was the same. Next time I'm just gonna do the meat. I admire their enthusiasm and I hope they improve the sides.
