Tempe Farmers Market

Staff and owner are very friendly!

This is definitely not a farmers market! It was a cute little shop and there was a small section in the back with some local fruits and veggies but if they had oranges there were only maybe 10, same for everything else they had. very low quantity of produce. and what they did have was bruised and over priced.

Small, cute farmers market right by Buffalo Exchange. It’s part small farmers market, and part coffee shop. Everything was priced quite expensive, but they did have the vegan sweets and organic treats I’d look for. I wasn’t particularly impressed, so I kinda just give it an average little farmers supermarket rating. Great location though.

Awesome food, awesome service. the vegan deli is yummy and the coffee is even better than Cartel. will return again and again

Tempe Farmers Market is close to my work place and I can stop by for a quick vegan lunch, some local produce or a snack. It’s a great little store and the fact that it’s offers local products is awesome. You can get vegan ready to go food from the deli section and even pick up a vegan sweet treat of coffe drink. I am very happy to have discovered this spot.

I’ve been coming here at least once a week for over 5 years (no lie). I LOVE the concept. But truth be told, the only reason I come back now is out of convenience.
The only thing consistent with the store is the 25% markup on everything they sell and a complete lack of any produce or other fresh goods that you would expect from a «Farmers market».
You guys are on the right track and I will continue to support you as a convenience store. But C’maaan, pour some passion into your offerings.
Figure it out — capitalize by increasing your inventory of unique fresh/​organic produce and focus on seasonal consistency. BE A PURVEYOR!
*Side note, If your aim is to stay a convenience store — Start selling alcohol too!

I have heard this place was awesome, I went in there today did a lap around the store and left. Produce was brown and wilted. Other items listed on their website (bone appitite, fairtale brownies, etc) I could not find. The little market in Guadalupe is MUCH better.

I loved this place. I haven’t come across a store that sells more local (a lot of which are organic) items in one place. It’s great. Just what I was looking for! I got some organic teas and vegan/​vegetarian tamales. Very excited to try! I wish the produce was a little better, but they have some stuff. Hopefully it will just get better.

For being such a small place they really have a lot to offer. I have been coming since it opened, and have watched it grow and grow. They are marvelous. I prefer to only get my produce there as to support local business a big thing of mine. Thank you for being so awesome, don’t go anywhere, there will be nowhere cool in Tempe. Please stay

Came here looking for bulgur and fennel. The fennel that they had was old, limp leaves and browning on the skin. They didn’t have any bulgur and the employee was totally confused because he never knew it existed.

I did end up buying a few items but I was a little underwhelmed at the selection. They were either out of produce items, which I confirmed by asking the staff, or what they did have looked old and shriveled. I did appreciate the little coffee shop, computer hangout thing they have going on.

Really cool place and prices are competitive. Super awesome they are open for a while on Sunday’s and friendly staff — this will be my new place to get vegetables from local farms.

I definitely went in with too high of hopes & expectations. :/
I was hoping for a wide selection of produce & other goods. Eh, not so much. The produce selection is kinda small, but I do appreciate their effort to support local growers & provide a bit of variety in their limited stock. Pricing is very reasonable, and they do have a few specialty grocery items that arent typically found at your usual big box supermarket.

Went in for the first time. Walked the store for about 15 minutes and left without buying anything. Why? Because the two employees were too busy doing nothing (only customer) in the place) to even acknowledge my existence. #pretentioushipsterbs

I love this place! They have a coffee bar, lots of vegan entrees made almost daily (burritos, sandwiches, sushi, etc) as well as delicious pastries. Some of the prepackaged things are a bit high priced but this is a small establishment– it’s worth supporting them! And the entrees that they make there are not badly priced at all.
I don’t use this place for my main grocery shopping but it’s great to get snacks or treats once in a while. They also have a new food truck outside which looks pretty good!

I love this farmer’s market because they carry Crow’s Dairy Goat Cheese. You seriously need to try this cheese. The pepper goat cheese is amazing!
The store is small, but has a decent selection. I’m really just there for the cheese. :-)

After going to the farmers market in Guadeloupe, this place was awful. They are way over priced on a lot of items, like fresh eggs and honey. The store had so much stuff it was hard to find items and they didn’t have much local items. The service was so so. This place is more hype than anything good.

I’ve lived in the neighborhood north of University and west of Farmer (Nuni Wofar) for three years and TFM has been there the whole time. It’s open late on the weekends with a pretty good selection of pre-​made food, a lot of it is vegetarian or vegan. Anytime I need a to refill my produce or get a coffee in a nice atmosphere I make a quick visit. At night sometimes they play some fun music like Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, or any number of 80’s Pop Gems. It’s got a sweet vibe and most patrons are legit neighbs. Rarely do I see sketchy crims migrate from the Circle K on Ash. But if l do see them, invariably they are gettin’ a 40 from Topps or lookin’ for a chill nap behind the pizza store.

I agree with most of the previous patrons about this farmer’s market, and my review is very negative.
My boyfriend and I were here around 9pm to pick up last minute groceries, and this one was the closest to us on our way back home. We were in the mood to make some Turkish dolmas, and I handpicked whatever decent sweet peppers were left in the vegetable aisle. The peppers that I did not end up picking were extremely wrinkly and they clearly needed to be tossed into a composting bin. Meanwhile, my boyfriend was trying to pick ground beef from the freezer, and he was overwhelmed with the prices. We ended up choosing something outrageously expensive, and I think it was $ 12 for 1.1 frozen ground beef.
At the register, I told the store owner about the lackluster quality of the vegetables, and then hinted that he should probably make it cheaper for customers or just don’t sell it at all. His response was «I’ll wait for tomorrow’s shipment.»
All in all, we paid $ 24~ for 6 green peppers and a pound of ground beef. Needless to say, I will not not come back here again for groceries. Go to sprouts, and you’ll get a better value out of your dollar.

This is a perfect place to make a quick stop on your way home to grab some milk, eggs, produce or other basic needs. It is a little more pricy than a chain grocery store of course, but you are supporting local farms and businesses when shopping here which is worth the extra buck.
Some fun things you can find here that is hard to find in other stores is kombucha, dr hummus and they even have a nice little coffee shop inside the store as well.
