Spring is in full effect and summer is just around the corner which means your weekly farmers’ markets are setting up and getting ready to provide you with the best local produce available! Our local Glendale community has many great market options that are ready to fill your Acero at the Stadium kitchens with everything you’ll need; from delicious fruit snacks to the perfect dinner vegetables. Here is our quick guide to great markets in and around the Glendale, AZ area.
Market on the Move, The 3000 Club
What began in April 2008 by Lon Taylor as a way to help save the local food bank has flourished into a program that is helping to feed the local community and those across the nation. The Market on the Move spends their time curating a variety of food items. From dry, canned, or packaged goods to fresh produce. It’s collected at various times, from an abundance, overstock, over or undersized, or too ripe, etc. From there it is transported to partners across the community and country and is also available at local spots in Tucson and Phoenix. For a donation of only $10, you could walk away with up to 60lbs of food and produce! Enough for you, the family, and some sure to be thankful neighbors. Their wide selection is sure to fill your refrigerator with ingredients you’ll need for any summertime recipe!
Located just 6-minutes away from your front door here at Acero at the Stadium is a local favorite, Park West Market. This women-owned and locally operated market features the best local foods and produce along with a pet-friendly atmosphere and great live music. Should you find some free time on any given Saturday between 8 am and 12 pm, from May to September, you are sure to enjoy a morning stroll through the great selection of local vendors. As is their website tagline, “you’re bound to find exactly what you’re looking for”.
