West side, represent.
In 2008, sisters-in-law Christa Esquibel and Emy Porter saw the need for “fresh and local” west of I-17, so they took a good idea and grew it. What started as hocking eggs in a front yard has become the monthly Momma’s Organic Market, featuring 60 to 100 vendors such as Pinnacle Gardens, Crooked Sky Farms, the Barn Goddess, One Step Beyond catering, Molly’s Tamales, and more handmade goods than you can shake a dreamcatcher at. Momma says to hang around all day for story time, a bounce house, face painting, live music, and the Remington Deaf Ranch petting zoo.
Saturday is the last chance to shop the monthly farmers’ market before it closes for the summer (a smaller version of the market is open Thursday evenings from 4 to 7 p.m. through April).
Sat., April 17, 9 a.m.-2 p.m., 2010
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
