I absolutely loved everything I have tried from Tucson Village Farm's outdoor midweek market…read more Today's market was the last one for the season but they will resume it on September 9th (They post updates, menu for their prepared foods as well as the produce they will be selling each week at the midweek market on their Instagram account). I don't go very often because of the lines to pay but whenever I did go I LOVED what I tried. Today I got their delicious, fluffy, fresh and garlicky focaccia which was my favorite focaccia I have bought in Tucson. I also got their baba ganoush, something I am fairly picky about since I make it myself by roasting eggplants on a fire and this one was delicious. It had a touch of spiciness to it which I really enjoyed. I also really enjoyed sampling their mulligatawny soup and enjoyed the complimentary Hibiscus- Creosote drink they served today. Produce wise it was fun to find some sweet potato leaves today and I am looking forward to using them in a West African stew. I also got some eggplant and tomatoes. They had some nice looking garlic, onions, and squash. Last time I was there was last summer and they had delicious, fun, creative prepared dishes then too like a sunflower seed, basil pesto with purslane, a refreshing curtido and a green curry. The fluffy focaccia was $5 today and the baba ganoush was $5 as well. Tucson Village Farm offers various programs to support their goal to "reconnect young people to a healthy food system, teach them how to grow and prepare fresh food, and empower them to make healthy life choices.

We went for their annual holiday market. It was packed!!! I never knew this place existed and I…read morethink a lot of others found out about it from this market, too. It's a farm run by youths. They have weekly farmers markets with things they make and grow such as pizza and soups. I hear the pizza is great! The holiday market had live music, chickens to pet, lots of handmade items from the farm. I was a little confused on how to pay for the items. I believe you get a ticket and everyone gets in one long line. I'll be back to try the pizza and hopefully the line will be short. Very cute place to bring kids to. To see the veggies growing, the youths working etc. very large parking lot right off the entrance.

I have been going to Yoga Connection off and on for many years, with the "off" being…read morejust because I can't always summon the energy to drive 25 minutes to their lovely studio. This is the only yoga studio I have found in Tucson that focuses on what I consider the total practice of yoga rather than yoga as one more gym feat. In fact, at another popular studio in town, I was once told "No pain, no gain," which to me is the antithesis of the yoga spirit. I go to Colleen's class almost every Sunday, and she is an amazing, low-key almost-spiritual guide through the practice. I am a caregiver to a spouse with Parkinson's, and her class never fails to uplift me. My only wish would be that they use more time for shivasana at the end of the class and much less at the beginning. Maybe it's just me, but my mind doesn't start to quiet until I've been absorbed in the various postures for an hour. All the staff I've ever met are wonderful, and the workshop offerings complement the yoga so nicely.

Although they stated they couldn't rehabilitate the little bird, they took the time to inform me as to why. The act of them educating and explaining to me about how fragile birds can be, I left at ease knowing I did what I could. I didn't get a chance to get the woman's name who does the initial check in. She was so helpful and comforting. I could tell she is passionate about animals. I would highly recommend coming here if you have come across a wildlife animal seeking immediate care. Thank you for what y'all do! It takes a team of passionate caregivers like yourselves to make this world a better place for animals.

I asked whether they could keep me posted on its condition and was somewhat rudely told "Oh, we don't do that."

When I asked how the owl was doing, I was told matter-of-factly, "Oh, we put him down, his wing was injured and he would never fly again." I will never take another animal there.
