About the Market
Background
Tempe Farmers Market was established to provide a marketplace and daily access point for Arizona farmers and food producers in downtown Tempe. It is a non-corporate, local family-owned market designed to fill a neglected niche within the area.
Practices
The market emphasizes responsible farming methods, featuring products regulated by the Arizona Department of Health. It promotes sustainability through research, experimentation, and implementation of carbon footprint reduction theories, partnering with local schools, colleges, non-profits, and businesses.
The Rest
In addition to food, the market showcases local artists and artisans through art installations, demonstrations, and readings. It hosts educational workshops for adults and children on topics such as architecture, archeology, and gardening. The market also accepts financial support from local businesses and groups, encouraging community participation in its sustainability efforts.
