Tucson now seems to be bursting with many new farmstands and farmers markets. Here’s two more:

Midvale Park: The first farm stand opened in October at the SW El Rio Community Health Center at 1500 W. Commerce Court, and runs from noon to 2 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month. Its lunchtime slot and convenient location within a health center makes it a perfect stop to supplement a healthy lunch with apples, pears or pomegranates or provide creative ideas for dinner with spaghetti squash, hot peppers, tomatoes, onions and more.

Flowing Wells: A second farm stand opened on Friday November 5 at the Ellie Towne Flowing Wells Community Center and will run from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the first and third Fridays of the month. The Ellie Towne Community Center is centrally located across the street from the Flowing Wells WIC office and Library, again providing community members an opportunity to shop while running errands.

Other sites are currently being considered for additional farm stands.

The Community Food Bank also recently celebrated the grand opening another weekly farmer’s market at El Pueblo Park, on the SW Corner of Irvington Road and S. 6th Ave, held every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Both farm stands and all of the Community Food Bank farmers’ markets accept food stamps, WIC checks, Arizona Farmers Market Nutrition vouchers, cash, credit and debit.
