The store owner is a sweet and knowledgeable gentleman who will take his time to educate and discuss the various olive oils and PAIRINGS with an amazing variety of balsamic vinegars. I have NEVER scene so many varieties and combinations of oil and vinegar - I was in heaven. There are so many ways to enjoy each and each flavor has a recommended pairing and/or food recommendation. We purchased the Chocolate Raspberry Vinegar to go specifically on ice cream along with a caramel vinegar, a portabello garlic olive oil for breads and pasta, the basic olive oil which I have been enjoying on EVERYTHING including just a dab on my finger and my favorite the lime olive oil and green apple vinegar for my salads....or ice cream...yes, a good vanilla bean drizzled with this bliss! There are recipes that are availabie, which I grabbed a few but have not made and there is a online store front that is in the works. I am not local to the area but eagerly waiting for the site to come up. Would love to order gifts to have shipped to friends and family, more for myself and access to a library of recipes. I love this little store - clean, polite staff and high quality products!

The…read moredate shake was good but too sweet (too much ice cream?) for me Made a point to stop here for a date shake and although it was good, I was happier to have found such a welcoming and friendly team that provides high-quality local produce and products. Grabbed a couple different types of dates and a jar of some local bee pollen. Lucky enough to sample some blood oranges they recently got in while waiting for the shake and they were delicious! Cheers, Summers Fruit Barn!

Service was great too as they were so informative and kind and their products and when they may have more of certain things we were looking for. A cute shop tucked on the side of the road that catches your eye immediately! I definitely recommend checking it out for fresh organic produce.

Is there any better salsa than Bad Dog Salsa? I think not…read more Most salsa companies have a dozen varieties and don't do any single one well, but not Bad Dog Salsa. They specialize in one really good tomato based recipe and adjust the heat to taste. Though I have heard they have recently added a verde variety for those who like the green stuff. Their salsa is truly a work of art and absolutely delicious. They're a small company that loves giving back, and can be found at various markets around town. If you see them, do give them a try, you won't regret it.

Salsas are fresh punch of flavor. Everything from mild to hot is available. They offer samples so you may try before you buy. Most of the peole in my family enjoyed the hot variety. It has a spiciness that sneaks up on you, then stays awhile. They also make their own tortilla chips. It is worth mentioning that 10% of all sales go to ending the human trafficking of children. Not only are you supporting local a business when you purchase from them, but you are supporting a good cause.

It is a small farmer's market, but it is a good one. There were a couple of vendors selling fresh…read morevegetables and I was able to find local honey that I originally was looking for. I actually found 2 honey vendors so I bought 2 different jars of honey. There were different kinds of things to look at and purchase but the highlight for me, was not the honey surprisingly, but the spirulina. I found a vendor that had a lot of different spices and I was way too excited to find spirulina. I've been looking for it for a while and now I can use it . It was a nice day outside and I appreciate that the vendors all had the new hours listed on each space for the fall/winter starting next week. The vendors that I interacted with were so nice and knowledgeable about their products and that was wonderful. I will come back again sometime in the near future for sure. Oh , the parking isn't the best. Be prepared to find street parking if you visit during the baseball/soccer season as it was when I was visiting.

I would have rated this a 3.5 if it were an option…read more That being said, I am probably grading this farmer market based on my most recent stay in Charlotte where the farmers markets are measured by acres, not by parking spots. But alas, this is a desert so take this review with that as context. This market is located in the parking of the park and takes approximately 10-12 spots on each side. The majority of the vendors were selling prepared food, merchandise and pet products with only 2-4 vegetable and produce stands. And those stands were limited to most of the basic veggies and fruits you would expect but at prices that were higher than some of their organic counterparts at your local supermarket. Translation - no real deals to be found and very few heirloom vegetables to try. I did buy some veggies and fruit from one of the larger stands at the end of the row, but other than that, there wasn't much to it. I do give them a bonus for being dog friendly. But if your dog isn't really chill, I would avoid this spot because the gallery is tight.

We came…read moreduring the week when it is a little quieter and enjoyed all of the time that the owner, Chad, spent with us tasting olive oils and balsamic vinegar. We were so happy that he had little bites of bread to taste the oils and vinegar. So many places don't do that anymore. This is the good stuff and we really enjoyed our tastings! We learned a lot and we came home with five balsamic vinegars and two olive oils. We also joined his rewards club because we will definitely be back!

They have a decent variety of options :) It was very hot and hours are limited in the summer from 8-11am in June! They were wrapping up when I came around 10:30... keep in mind since I saw somewhere it closes at 1pm but it definitely ends earlier to beat the heat. Otherwise it's a nice street for the farmers market with locally sourced everything. Limited but good variety and nice vibes overall!

Not a lot of produce stands but various throughout the season. Lots of organic products and hand crafted items as well. Throughout the season, there is a kid section with all homemade items made by the kids themselves. Dog friendly and plenty of parking. Friendliest vendors with lots of free samples. Usually goes from October to April, but this year was extended thru May.

My partner got a large caldo ($8) and a half pound of chicharrones. I saw that they also sell ceviche & aguachiles. Yum. I was impressed by the pricing and the taste of what I got that first visit, so I definitely will be back for the seafood stuff. I did end up buying two canned sodas from their store. The Diet Dr Pepper was old and tasted pretty close to pure carbonated water. The Manzanita Sol was also on the older end and flavor was fading out of it. They weren't really that cold either. I would've gotten water bottles, but those weren't cold, despite sitting next to the vegetables. So...miss on the "cold drinks" availability. Maybe I'll just get deli stuff to go instead of eating there next time. There are 3 tables off to the east end of the property set up for eating. They even have some of their hot sauces on the table for sampling with your food. I did not try any, though. If I eat here again, maybe I'll just try bringing in my Stanley cup full of something cold to drink. I'll update you on the sauces when I get to sample them.

They've got an insane variety of vendors selling everything from fruits and veggies to dog treats, candles, pastries that'll make your taste buds do the happy dance, food, gift items, and a whole lot more. And the cherry on top? All the vendors were ridiculously friendly, dishing out samples and the lowdown on their products like they're sharing secrets with old pals. Plus, there's ample seating, a DJ spinning tunes, and more food vendors than you can shake a stick at. It's basically the ultimate Saturday morning chill zone, and your furry friend is invited too - just keep 'em on a leash, okay? Oh, and bonus points - it's also the perfect spot for people watching, so grab a coffee, sit back, and enjoy the show!
