There is nothing better than spending a morning at a local farmer's market. Last Saturday I had a great experience at the Old Town Scottsdale Farmer's Market. The food and ambience was wonderful.As you can see from my collage of photos today, there are good things to eat and drink for everyone. The eggs in the first photo are cage-free natural eggs. The second photo contains some of the very best pistachios and they were from Parcave farms.
I purchased jalapeno sourdough bread from Breadsmith and it was flavorful and delicious.
I also bought a dozen tamales from the Tamale Store. The green corn/cream cheese and chicken/green chile tamales were heavenly. The cupcakes and homemade fudge were decadent.
Bob McClendon's Select organic produce was available. His farm supplies first-rate organic veggies to local restaurant chefs. Chef Payton Curry of Digestif was there making mozzarella and he had many savory toppings for the fresh cheese.
The farmer's market operates 8:30 am to 1:00 pm every Saturday through May 2009. The market is located in the Old Town Scottsdale parking lot on the Northwest corner of Brown Avenue and Second Street.

How wonderful. What a delicious tour of the market. And bless everyone who shops there and supports the local growers.
oooh, so many goodies to choose from.
ton post tombe bien, c'est l'heure du déjeuner..Hummm les cupcakes...
I'm going to die here! I'm just finishing a lunch banana, now my mouth is watering again!
The eggs are amazing. I can see them as decoration rather than cracking them open and then tossing them in the trash or the compost pile.
Nothing beats a Farmer's Market for great fresh and healthy food. Well, maybe those cupcakes aren't so healthy but, I bet they were delicious.
What a mouthwatering selection. Is the cooked produce made on the farms?
We don't have farmers' markets as such though small growers sell in the daily markets.
Everything looks so yummy. Bet it was fun.
These foods from the farmers look sooo great. I have put the Farmers Market in my calendar. Thanks for the info and location.
Farmer's markets are great. Your pictures make me want to go to our local one tomorrow morning.
I love the closeups you took - it's an unusual take on the farmers market and it's really the best way to show it. & ADORE the speckled eggs.
You've convinced me.
Ah nuts! You're trying to egg me on and fill my eyes with delicious wonders...
You did it!
So many good things here. Even tho we have free-range eggs in the markets, I've not seen eggs marked like this for years.
Thanks for sharing this info. Looks like it's a fun event.
Wonderful photos of delicious food. My favourite are pistachios!
So different from the markets where I can go and so attractive (pistachios, and these eggs, are they chickens' eggs?). But here, spring is coming ;-) and we 'll have many vegetables and flowers very soon!
Have a great Sunday, Julie, mine is almost over.
The eggs are so pretty....the cupcakes look delicious. I wasn't hungry until I came by here!
The eggs are so beautifully colored and decorated naturally, you don't have to dye them for Easter.
These markets are a very nice place for a walk,searching for something great food,colors,beautiful scenes.
I love them.
Have a nice day.
