It's the season for farmers' markets, which were only temporarily slowed by the expected heat and the unexpected worldwide pandemic. From opening dates to incoming vendors and new night markets — here are three bites of farmers' market news across metro Phoenix.
Peoria Night Market Starts at Park West
Starting this week, Park West will be hosting the weekly Peoria Night Market from 4 to 7 p.m. every Wednesday night. Food vendors will include TJ Farms, Cormany Farms, Gary’s Greens, Heart to Home Elderberry, Squarz Pies, Brother’s Jerky, Los Muertos Salsa, and more. Food trucks will also be around, including Raimondo’s Catering and Lulu’s Sorbetto.
