Vincent's Farmers Market

[Gizmo Williams]

Me, the wife and kids walk to Vincent's Farmers market at least one or two Saturday's a month. Anyone else go?

If you have not been...it is definitely worth checking out. On Saturday's during the Fall and Spring Vincent (40th St and Camelback) closes off his parking lot from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. He serves a wide variety of food....omelettes, crepes, paella, tamales (duck, mole), panninis, grilled meats, pastries, wine, etc. The prices are incredibly reasonable...under 20 bucks will feed 4 people. If you were to go to Vincent's for dinner you are looking at $200 for a two people.

Also, they have a lot of stuff to buy and take home. I am addicted to their olives for 4 bucks you get considerably more and a much higher quality olive than at the store. I've been buying their oil cured provencal and nicoise. Little tubs of pesto are $3...and they are much better than the junk you get normally.

Sounds cool. Do they have fresh fruit and veggies too?

The breakfasts they serve inside the little store behind the big expensive restaurant are very good. They also give out free warm chocolate cake most of the time.

They do...but it is pretty pricey. They usually have a few items are hard to find...but the normal stuff like onions and bell peppers are considerably more expensive than buying them at Sprouts. They are probably farm fresh...so it may be worth it.
