Momma's Organic Market (Get Local AZ Farmers Markets) — Attraction in Glendale

I wanted so bad to love this place, since the West Side is sorely lacking in good farmers markets. And I wish this one all the best, but .... currently it's not much of a farmers market. I know I have unrealistic expectations: having seen the sprawling markets in the Midwest and east coast, even the central market downtown is a disappointment. But this just barely qualifies as a farmers market.

This market is easy to miss because it's in a tiny store space next to Grimaldi's. It's literally the size of a T-Mobile store. Somehow they manage to pack it with vendors, but the 30 or so people that were there were in a complete gridlock. Only one vendor was selling a bit of produce, and I didn't see anything that was local. Another was selling meat and eggs, but I couldn't get close enough to see the selection.

I love the idea of an indoor market, especially in summer, but this just isn't it, yet.

Update! This market is much better when the sun isn't trying to kill us all. In the bearable months it's outside, and huge. Lots of good produce, and everything else you'd expect an urban Farmers...

Momma’s Organic Market has a nice vibe and is a great way to spend a morning if you're into local goods and supporting small businesses. There’s a solid variety of vendors—everything from fresh produce and baked goods to handmade crafts and natural products. It definitely has that friendly, community feel.

That said, it can be a bit hit or miss depending on the weekend. Some days have more vendors and better selection than others, and prices can be on the higher side compared to regular stores. Parking can also be a little tricky when it’s busy. Still, it’s worth checking out if you're nearby and enjoy browsing local markets. Just manage your expectations, and you’ll likely enjoy...

Maybe my expectation of a Farmer's Market was to high, but I didnt think expecting a number of local farmers selling THEIR produce would be too much.

Instead there was 1 local farmer, and he was selling a lot of different fruits & vegetables, but many of which he imported from califonia.

There was a local rancher there selling beef, and I understand that not all 'Farmers' sell just fruits & veggies, so seeing a few "stands" selling; honey, cheeses, baked good, confectionerys, was expected...

BUT; dresses !? ... auto products !? ... jeweler !? ... CBD !? ... that's organic?

I'll continue looking for a market where we can get in season produce from local...
