Reviews for: Downtown Phoenix Public Market

This market has a great feel with lots of friendly people, but I've got to say that I'm very disappointed with the selection and prices. I slowly have stopped finding reasons to come here and last Saturday was the last straw: the day before Halloween and only 2 or 3 pathetic looking pumpkins for an outrageous price. I swear, you'd think they were made of gold.

They have been the starting farmers market in the area. They are now opening an inside market to have year round. They are a great group of local farmers that really care about local,small,eco-friendly ideas and food. They deserve to have this money to further their cause.

Here you will find farmers and artisans who care about providing their community with sustenance. The Downtown Phoenix Public Market provides the space Phoenix needs to grow a cohesive community in this burgeoning city this is centered on the well being of all and everything.

Cindy Gentry has helped bring amazing, affordable and healthy food (not to mention amazing local goods!) to the downtown area. She's dedicated her life to making local food accessible and I am so thankful!

I love developing a relationship directly with the people who grow my food. Knowing that the produce is ALL local and freshly picked the day before is pretty hard to beat. The Downtown Farmers Market organization is headed by Cindy Gentry who not only promotes Permaculture classes that teach a sustainable lifestyle, but is a non-profit organization that gives back to the community. It makes me feel great knowing that any profit that the market makes goes to help needy families and that I can help indirectly by spending my money here while supporting our local farmers and the health of my family all at the same time!.

I am all for fresh fruits and vegetables, locally grown is even better to support the local economy!

Any place that is not a chain gets my vote for being first class, as Phoenix Public Market does. First class all the way, without first class prices!

It is a wonderful place to find locally grown foods and crafts created by local artists. It is a great place to showcase Arizona specialities.

It's a great concept - support local with great products! What more could you ask! Can't wait until it opens!!!

Great atmosphere. Friendly vendors. Interesting mix of stuff for sale. Easy access.

BUY LOCAL!! I enjoy meeting and supporting local vendors, getting farm fresh produce, seeing new products, and talking to people. It is a very friendly and relaxing place to spend a Saturday morning.

The Downtown Phoenix Public Market is one of the greatest additions to Phoenix. Promoting and educating the public the importance of eating fresh and local is helping all individuals and the community in general. Keep up the great work!!!

Because Erika is a committed enthusiast and she embraces the market as a source of product, community and neighborhood.

The Market is a great place where the community comes together to really enjoy the products and people of Arizona.

I love the vegan burritos & friendly vendors! This market can help liven up downtown!

It is such a wonderful place for the community to come together and support sustainability!

Fresh, great goodies. Tuna and Salmon from the Northwest!!! ready to eat. Fun people watching...and their four footed friends. This group is really reaching out to a part of Phoenix that needs a healthy destination. Great stop on the Light Rail.

i love the variety & friendliness of vendors, and i love that we have the option of saturday or wedensday.

This Downtown market is amazing in it's scope of participants; artists,farmers,cooks,bakers,flower essense formulators,chocolatiers,craftpeople and music, all combine to bring people to the downtown area which is a miracle in a city where people just don't walk around!

The variety of products available and the friendly, helpful, knowledgeable vendors willing to share information about thier craft is great!!

Wonderful variety of produce vendors like One Windmill Farms, Desert Roots, etc. Talented crafters like Helen who has a smile for everyone and yummy treats for her doggie buddies. Delicious breads, cookies and other prepared foods. Always lots of wonderful people to meet.

Everything is so fresh.there is a variety of items(pastries,flowers,gift items). entertainment is excellent.

This market is awesome! There is a severe lack of fresh, well priced produce in the desert of Phoenix and the Downtown Market comes through. There is amazing produce, delicious baked goods and beautiful arts and crafts. Everything is local and it is a fun, welcoming atmosphere.

I love the market! My family and I go every weekend to get our veggies and other yummy treats for the upcoming week. My son loves all the taste testing and It has become an educational experiance, family bonding time, and gives us a fun wholesome thing to do! Plus you can't beat their prices at the local stores!

What a joy it is to browse the produce and wares they offer. Always a great time to stock up on the fresh veggies etc.

I am I big believer in buying local and I am proud of our down town market for supporting lower income families with fresh healthy food.

The world is overrun with the sameness of grocery and mainstream big-buck stores. The integrity of the farmers, crafters, and businesses involved with the Downtown Phoenix Public Market is unmatchable. The Market brings fresh food and smart, innovative businesses to the city for all of us to appreciate.

Love strolling around and seeing all the things available for sale. It's a nice way to spend a Saturday morning!

They have a wide variety of fresh high quality meats, vegetables, fruits and a great choice of condiments. Everyone is always very friendly and courteous. They're the best! Bill Spence Bill My Concierge BillMyConcierge.com

Enjoy the selection and quality of the food, in addition to supporting local farms and small businesses.

These guys have a plan that works! A great variety of locally grown produce and other locally produced wares. Their aggressive approach will soon open an indoor market for daily access to local vendors is the kind of service approach that will keep me coming back all week long. If the US Government could be run as well as this market all of our current problems would disappear in short order!

Best variety of vendors; nice vibe. More produce than all the other "farmers" markets in Phoenix.

Great variety. Friendly vendors. A festival atmosphere each Saturday morning. I like Helen and her crochet items, Eli and his Crooked Sky produce, Desert Roots, and the book exchange table.

The variety of local vendors and farm stalls is unmatched in the valley. The prices are reasonable and the food is fresh and organic/pesticide free! The downtown market embodies a true sense of community with a welcoming atmosphere (even on the hottest AZ summer day). I especially like the Wed night market where I can shop on my way home from work. I look forward to watching it grow.

I love this market because I have kids. This market is like a group of friends getting to together for a hug, some good food and a great music. I want my kids to see that the whole can be more than Big Box stores and disconnected lives. Places like the downtown market bring people together and provide nourishment not only to our bodies but to our souls.

The market is a great focal point of the community. The food is wonderful, fresh and affordable. The atmosphere is fun and festive and it is great way to meet your neighbors!

This once fledgling market has expanded the breadth of its reach to our community. The types of products that are offered, as well as wonderful activities for kids makes this a favorite Saturday morning visit for our family!

Gorgeous fresh veggies and fruits and the best eggs I've ever tasted, plus farmers who offer carrot snacks to the dogs and recipes to the people. The market is literally feeding life in the hot, concrete city.

Great outdoor market; great vendors, great music. It is a breath of fresh air in Phoenix. I love this place.

I love the fresh seasonal produce, the breads and pastries, along with the specialty foods like handmade tortillas and pastas. I'm hooked on Queen Creek olive oil. And I've equipped my kitchen with ceramic bowls and glasses made from wine bottles, purchased from the market vendors.

In addition to our own homegrown herbs and vegetables, this is one of my favorite places to get local produce, gifts and foods. A great place in the growing downtown community.

This is a great market to buy locally grown produce, Arizona products and excellent prepared food and drinks. The vendors are very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Ride the Light Rail and make a day of it!

There are so many thing to see and do as well as the great choice of local food.

Totally amazing produce sold by really friendly and thoughtful people. I can get just about anything locally made. I feel like I am supporting my community and my health at the same time.

The market has been a great place to see local farmers sell their produce, to be a part of solving local food issues, and to feel a part of the community.

Cindy Gentry should get an award for all she has done in support of local vendors and downtown Phoenix. Everyone is treated with kindness and respect from the street guys to the mayor. She holds it all together with graciousness and strength. A perfect example of walking the walk. Cindy exemplifies the true spirit of the 'local' movement and the Downtown Phx Market shows it.

The Downtown Phoenix Public Market is for everyone from the specialty foods seekers to those looking for good food at a great price. People can find all the food they need every week at the DPPM.

It's a great place and vibe in a sprawled-out city that needs downtown anything desperately.

Awesome organic produce! Great variety and nice people. Lots of things to see!

Amazing produce, amazing products, amazing and interesting people. I can actually have intelligent conversations with these people, including some about vegetarianism, rennet in cheese, and the presidential election.

Array of local products. Not only are the local veggies and fruits great but the local olive oil, pastas, meats and the the fact. Seeing everyone each week makes the market feel like a family affair. Love all the like mined eco conscience people

From the produce, to the products and people. It's been a pleasure watching it grow from a few vendors into a viable, thriving market. We hope to see it continue to grow!

Wide range of unique local products, great mix of people dedicated to downtown phoenix, gathering of like-minded health-oriented, eco-friendly people, benefits our community and local economy by spending in Arizona, and creates a ripple effect of goodness from the heart of Phoenix extending way beyond, makes a difference in so many people's lives.

Best fresh veggies,crafts and homemade cheeses in Phoenix!It's a fun way to socialize, too!

Because it's not just a market with fabulous products & vendors. It's like a true community with the greatest & most interesting prople.

Great produce and a nice blend of other crafts and products. Easy location and close parking. Positive atmosphere.

I am a member of Local First Arizona and I believe in keeping dollars here as opposed to sending them to the coffers of the mega businesses like WalMart. I think the future of this great nation lies in keeping it real and keeping it local!

So good! The public market offers such a quality variety of locally grown foods as well as other items, We are really looking forward to the addition of an indoor market in the future.

everything is so fresh ,the place just smells good and a lot of hard working good people

Fresh local vegetables available in a location accessible by light rail public transportation.

It's a simple market with fresh produce & other goods raised and brought in fresh - a nice variety, and I've always enjoyed their quality.

We buy fresh local produce. Home made cheese and butter. We love Belinda's Pickles and the fresh jalapeno jelly by Cotton Country. People love to receive these things as gifts. The fresh eggs rock but you do have to get there early. You can also do breakfast, find a caterer or buy BBQ'd sandwiches. There are all natural granolas, soaps, chocolate, hummus, salsas. There are so many delicious goodies!

Phoenix farmers market is the best one around, by far. They don't have a huge number of fresh fruits and veggie vendors, but the ones that are there always have really delicious produce, are informed and helpful. If you want fresh eggs, make sure to get there before 9 am or they'll all be gone. The other food vendors are good, from tamales to salsa and honey, there is great variety and quality.
