Old Town Scottsdale Farmers Market - open October through May
Desert honey is the star at Old Town Scottsdale Farmers Market, where beekeepers bring jars that taste like sun on a warm afternoon. In Scottsdale, Arizona, this Saturday ritual makes desert honey a standout, a local treat that captures the arid bloom season in every drop. The honey comes in small batches, straight from hive to stand, with the flavor shifting with the seasons from sagey hints to deeper desert nectar notes. Beyond honey there isn’t a long line of products from this vendor, but the market itself pulses with farm-fresh produce, breads, jams, and cheeses from fellow Arizona growers, making the whole scene worth a wander. You’ll find the stall at Old Town Scottsdale Farmers Market every Saturday during the October through May season, a reliable stop that makes it easy to stock up before you head home. The crowd is friendly, loyal, and quick to share a sample or two, which is exactly what keeps me coming back to this market.
