Fresh, seasonal, and local products are coming soon to Downtown Tempe. The Tempe City Hall Farmers Market will launch on Sunday, Oct. 11.
The market will serve as a welcoming space to connect with neighbors, enjoy fresh flavors, and contribute to a resilient community. It will feature a variety of small-business vendors selling produce, baked goods, ready-to-eat foods, and handmade items.
The market will run from 8 a.m. to noon between October and April, and from 7 to 11 a.m., May to September.
“This market reflects Tempe’s commitment to our community members’ overall well-being,” said Tempe Mayor Corey Woods. “We’re supporting entrepreneurship in our community and creating a space where people can shop, spend time together and enjoy downtown Tempe.”
The Tempe City Hall Farmer’s Market is organized by Jon Przybyl of Proof Bread and Meg Kabotie Adakai, founder of the Flagstaff Mountain Town Market, in partnership with the City of Tempe.
The Tempe City Hall Farmers Market also supports Tempe’s sustainability goals. Tempe is working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build a more sustainable community.
Choosing locally produced food can reduce some of the transportation associated with moving food long distances while also strengthening the local food economy.
