Starting last month, Uptown Farmers Market launched the Uptown Wednesday Market, featuring the iconic McClendon’s Select Farm and Noble Bread, along with 50 local food vendors and gourmet breakfast, lunch and coffee.

The new Uptown Wednesday Market will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Wednesday through June on the southeast corner of Central Avenue and Bethany Home Road. The market is located on the north side of the 40-acre North Phoenix Baptist Church property, and includes expansive parking for customers.

“Uptown Wednesday will be different from our Saturday market,” explained Bo Mostow, market manager. “Uptown Saturday is intended to be a very kid-friendly, weekend gathering. In contrast, my hope is that Uptown Wednesday will be more of an adult culinary and grocery experience, with lots of chef input, seasonal demos, and a stellar line of local restaurant and food truck fare.”

Uptown Farmers Market is a food-based farmers market and gathering place dedicated to inspiring and educating home cooks through Arizona local produce, handmade foods and handcrafted goods. For more information, visit www.uptownmarketaz.com or e-mail bo@uptownmarketaz.com.
