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.

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.

Nestled at the base of the Catalina Mountains’ Pusch Ridge along the Northwest Oracle Road corridor is Steam Pump Ranch where the Oro Valley Farmers Market sets up every Saturday morning in the early dawn hours. Since 2004, the Oro Valley Farmers Market has become a meaningful community event in support of local farms, ranches and small food purveyors. Friends, families and neighbors stroll the grounds where historic preservation of the buildings, farming artifacts and heritage gardens are showcased. The Oro Valley Farmers Market operates 52 weeks of the year offering the seasonal bounty from the surrounding farming communities as well as supporting special events at the Ranch including Second Saturdays at Steam Pump Ranch and its fun-filled activities. Visitors will find local fruits and vegetables as well as ranch-fed beef, pork and farm fresh eggs carrying on the ranch’s agricultural traditions.

Lots of vendors. Check out the salsa from Durazo's. I love the HOT! The atmosphere is great - especially on Second Saturdays. At that time they have arts and crafts and food trucks and music.

One of our favorite places for authentic mexican food. I typically order street tacos and Horchata to drink from Seis. Super yummy and 100% authentic. The restaurants and shops surround an outdoor courtyard with tables to sit. Great for the kids to run around as well because it’s very casual. I’ve seen dogs as well. It’s not a fancy restaurant to sit and linger. We usually just come for the food, eat and leave. After we eat we might get cookies or some other treat from the Estrella Bakery which is there as well.

Nestled along the I-19 corridor you will find the Green Valley Farmers & Artisans Market (open year-round) is the area’s oldest and largest marketplace. Each Wednesday, the morning comes alive with over 100 artisans and local food small businesses at the Green Valley Village. Stroll through the market to find artisan goods, jewelry, and southwest flavor for your home and taste buds! This market is reminiscent of the mercados from long ago, where peddlers from all over came to town to sell their wares. Our food court is especially tantalizing, offering fresh ingredients and local flavor with Sonoran Hot Dogs, a fire-breathing Pizza Dragon and Authentic German Cuisine (Seasonal Vendor). Come on by and bring your friends and family for a cup of fresh roasted coffee and flaky pastries, pick up fresh vegetables from our local growers, and enjoy live music and some of the most beautiful handmade arts and crafts from the surrounding area. Join us for this weekly community event!

A mixture of craft artists, some prepared foods to take home (burritos and Greek food vendors) and a few food trucks. We were pleasently surprised for a mid-winter visit. We took home frozen burritos, pepitas and some lovely Greek pastries. A very good market.
