If you happen to be in Flagstaff any Sunday morning thru mid-October, take the time to explore the farmer’s market south of the tracks downtown near Beaver and Phoenix. My family and I went this weekend for the first time and were delighted with all of the vendors. There was all kinds of locally grown produce form tomatoes to onions, herbs, and more.
My two year old really liked the honey sticks that Cowboy Honey sells for a quarter. Of course the breads from Village Baker are fantastic. I didn’t try it, but one vendor was selling Salmon Tamales. Sounded intriguing, but I had just had brunch, so maybe next time.
The most interesting flavor combinations of the whole event came from Terra Verde Farms artisan foods. I really liked their Lavender Pepper rub, Strawberry Lavender Preserves, and the Spicy O’s. (They have a website in case you don’t get a chance to buy them in person at terraverdefarms.com.)
The Flagstaff Community Market runs Sundays thru October 12 from 8am to noon. For more info, go to their website: flagstaffmarket.com.
