Today I'm happy to be joined by Sara Matlin, who is the market manager of the Phoenix Public Market.
Sara is a Phoenix native and lives in the downtown community. She's always worked with small businesses and has always enjoyed helping them thrive in our community. "Working with the farmers market is definitely a dream," she says. "I love supporting local and shopping local, and that's exactly what we do at the farmers market."
As Sara points out, the Phoenix Public Market is actually one of the only nonprofit farmers markets in the Valley. They're focused on supporting local food systems and supporting small business. This month, they're celebrating 12 years, and many of their vendors and farmers have been with them the whole time. Currently, they host about 100 vendors each week, ranging from local growers to bakers all the way to artisans and specialty services.

The Phoenix Public Market is open year-round, rain or shine.
If you're not familiar with Phoenix and our history, we were agriculture-based in the beginning. Next to California and Florida, we were one of the largest producers of citrus. An abundance of agricultural products still exists.
Thanks to this great growing season, Sara says, the market is open every Saturday year-round, rain or shine (but mainly shine!) from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. during the high season. In the summer from about May to October, they are open from 8 a.m. to noon. You can learn more at their website, phxpublicmarket.com, or you can give them a call at 602-625-6736.
As always, if you have any questions about the Phoenix real estate market or you're looking to buy or sell a home, I'm always here. Just give me a call or send me an email!
