Power Road Farmers Market — Attraction in Mesa

The lady who worked as a cashier today...happens to be awesome and very helpful! She's got a great, positive attitude and works well with her customers. The man who works there, who helped me by loading up groceries into my truck is very nice and a real gentleman! They're wonderful people and they have really good stuff in their market. I bought some stuff there that you don't find in regular stores and my family and I would love to try some of these things. Anyways, I will definitely be coming back! I noticed that they do corn maze and fun activities there for families! But they won't be open until Autumn season! Which I would love to bring my family in. I hope the government doesn't shut down our festivals in the fall this year. A lot of people will be angry if they did...fingers crossed 🤞 Right now, they're selling fireworks but the fun stuff has been shut down due to our own government and Covid -19...they're definitely worth the visit and...

I visited this farmer's market last Sunday January 21st. I'd seen it for years passing by. It has flags advertising its low prices.

I picked out 10 veggies. I was wary as half of what I chose seemed old and unwashed. But I thought maybe it's great. It wasn't. The bell peppers were in a bin with ones that were rotting.

The yellow potatoes were soft. The cucumbers looked old and the tomatoes seemed on their last day. The grapes looked half ok.

I've never bought from a farmers market so I thought maybe it would all taste amazing. I was very wrong. The tomatoes had black seeds. The cucumbers were aging green from the outside in. I had to throw half the grapes away. The broccoli tasted old.

I thought I got a great deal. Not. I went to Fry's tonight and got all fresh amazing produce as usual. I'm quite disgusted with...

Great prices on produce. And I mean great. Juicy honeycrisps for 99¢ a pound and ripe avocados 2/$1. Large bags of local grapefruit for $1.50. Cheapest potatoes onions broccoli and green beans around. Some items like bread and tortillas are pricey. It's a small store. Don't expect to do all your grocery shopping here. The store also has specialty foods like cactus jellies, fudges and local products. Could be a good place for buying gifts, actually. There are a large number of Power Road salsas for sale. I have tried several and they are some of the best salsas ever— worth the cost. Be warned, though—hot salsas aren't marked as "hot" like they are in the supermarket. You gotta know your peppers... Or ask one of...
