Earth Month at the Farmers Market

Celebrate Earth Month with Heirloom Farmers Markets! Join us every Sunday during the month of April at the Rillito Park Farmers Market as we honor the local farmers, producers and local non-profits who make sustainable living in the Sonoran Desert possible. Their dedication helps strengthen our local food system, and HeirloomFM is proud to support their work by connecting our community with seasonal, locally grown food and the knowledge to make informed choices.

Earth Month at the farmers market is a celebration of sustainability and community. These markets provide fresh, locally grown food that’s not only healthier, but also better for the environment. They support sustainable farming practices, reduce waste, and strengthen local economies. By shopping at a farmers market, you’re making a conscious choice to live more sustainably while supporting the farmers and producers who make it possible.
