1. Uptown Farmers Market

I am a regular at this farmers market and let me tell you, it is incredible! Great atmosphere with families, singles, couples and lots of dogs! Food trucks are a regular attraction and there's always a local band or musicians of some sort playing. You can find the best organic, locally grown produce, canned pickles, local honey, goat cheese, fresh baked bread and rolls, as well as local vendors such as Homeboy's Hot Sauce, Ava's Kettlecorn, Windmill Farms and others. It's also a great place to pick up gift items such as pottery, aprons, handmade jewelry, etc. During the summer months the market is moved indoors in a large well air conditioned space of the church property. Local restaurants often have cooking demos and give out samples. It's no wonder it was named one of the top 50 markets in the country by Cooking Light Magazine!

Summers Fruit Barn is a classic fruit stand that has the best local dates and pecans. They also have a nice assortment of organic fruit, as well as salsas, jams, cactus candy, and great orange smoothie. They are extremely friendly here and are always doing some type of free tasting.

4. Tolmachoff Farms

We had so much fun with our grandkids when we went here. They have a bunch of bouncy things for the kids, plus a pumpkin patch and corn maze I belive those go through much of November and all through October. There's also train rides and a corn bin for the kids to play in. You can also get yummy snacks and even buy some great farm goods when you are on your way out. If you go to grouppon you get a little discount but basically your entrance fee works for everything but the train ride and potato shooting thing. All the bouncy houses and mazes and stuff are included.

Local and Regional Producer's Market with Live Music
Reviewed By TheTripReviewGuy - Houston, United States
Staying in Sedona on way to the Grand Canyon and stumbled upon this little gem on our way to the Wells Fargo ATM at the lot this market was set in. It was pretty cool to meet the vendors from abroad Az and hearing some good local music. The food looked great and some really interesting finds. It is not large, but big enough and takes up almost all of the Wells Fargo lot and it is a good find to get a few things here and there and to make connections with.
