text: Eh this market was OK but it did not do it for mennA farmers market is supposed to be a market for local farmers to showcase their fresh goods for people to select buy and use as they will During my visit I saw a grand total of one local farmer from Phils somethingorother selling produce an itty bitty stand at that with maybe types of vegetables from which to choose There were two or three other produce vendors one of them the giant McClendons selling a boatload of attractive produce from California and Washington Um I can get that at Whole Foods There was some local olive oil with no prices listed I am sure it is fab but with no advertised prices and this being Scottsdale uh uhnnThere were prepared foods and goods and the like but that is not what a farmers market is for nor is it what I seek in one I did not feel any communion with the vendors some of them did not seem to care much about what they were selling or even know how it was grown and traveled from farm to farmers market McClendons just looked like an outdoor grocery store with multiple checkout lanes and everything I doubt very much they could tell you the perfect time to pick that varietal of apple or how to best harvest this type of potato much less have experience doing it themselvesnnI understand this being Arizona and all there is not a lot of prime agricultural land to be utilized But things do grow here prickly pear anyone Tomatoes Melons Citrus Herbs But nobody was selling those Did I miss the part of the market where the actual market wasnnI give it a star for the McClendons produce being affordable and attractive a star because they have a couple of stands catering to pets and a star because their prepared goods looked just fine But minus a star for missing the point of a farmers market and minus a star for having next to locally grown foods
