Tucson Farmers Markets

Apr 24, 20142 min read

Farmers Markets are a great place for fresh, local produce including fruits and vegetables, eggs, free-range meats, honey, baked goods, and more.

As a community-centered event, farmers markets are a great way to connect local vendors and farmers with consumers. From small, intimate markets to expanding markets across city blocks, farmers markets are also a great way to support local organizations and farmers.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
