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.

We just wanted to do the corn maze, so we headed over there to buy our tickets. You can also buy a combination ticket for the hayride and corn maze if you prefer. It's pretty hot here, and given the lack of shade, I highly recommend sunscreen or hat. The corn maze wasn't necessarily challenging, but it can take a while to get through, so definitely be prepared for that. There are differing levels, though you can do an easy one, more intermediate one, or a challenge one. We did the intermediate one and it took us about 30 minutes. It was a fun way to spend the morning and definitely worth the drive from Tucson.

We started at the orchard grow where we got a pumpkin pancake plate and a buttermilk pancake plate, both topped with their apple syrup. So yummy! With the plate you also get two sausages and either orange juice or apple cider. The apple cider was absolutely delicious, so fresh. While we waited for the apple cider donuts to be ready, we walked through the little vendor fair and the fudge shop. There was definitely some cute stuff at the vendor fair, but I'm always a little disappointed at the abundance of AI generated goods at a fair like this. The doughnuts were finally ready around 10:15 or so. Honestly, I can't really say they were worth the wait. We got a pack of the apple cider donuts and a pack of the pumpkin donuts. They weren't as fluffy as I expected. They tasted a little too crispy. Overall, if you make a day of this and go to the orchard and the pumpkin patch, this was a pretty fun day trip from Tucson.

It's not a big market and my first impression was that there were a lot of dogs there. It was my first visit so I didn't know what to expect. I didn't see any plants for sale, but I saw local honey, Sonoran tortillas ($4/bag), soaps, breads and muffins, breakfast burritos, coffee vendors, used clothes, CBD oils and lots of artsy stuff. I ate a tasty bean and cheese burrito for $5. I found the prices very affordable. I paid cash but other vendors I spoke to take credit card. I like the location of this market. Plenty of parking around the market.

On today's visit there was a lady selling aprons made from ties!! So cute!! And a family selling local honey & carne seca/ machaca (Yum!).

I absolutely enjoyed the live music which they typically have at the farmers market here but just missed some of what I was expecting. There wasn't very much food available and that's probably because Saint Phillips has the REN coffee and also açai bowl place. With it being winter or maybe it's a slow time for the market. We did chat with our familiar mushroom vendor and several of the arts and craft vendors. Overall, it was a fun walk and a lot less crowded than it normally would be. There are restrooms available and as we came at 9:30, some vendors were still setting up.
