If you are looking for a way to shop locally, consider stopping by the Chandler Farmer's Market. It is conveniently held every Thursday* from 3 PM to 7 PM at the A.J. Chandler Park in downtown Chandler. It's not huge (25 - 30 vendors) but the market offers a nice variety of edible offerings ranging from Arizona-grown fresh vegetables to olive oil dipping sauces and balsamic vinegars, fresh baked breads, apple butter and barbeque sauces. Many of the vendors offer tastings of their products so you can try before you buy. With the holidays fast approaching, you can also find unique gifts and save yourself hours of wandering the malls. Hand-made beaded jewelry, soaps and lotions, framed art and other craft items are just some of the items made by people right here in Chandler and the surrounding communities. Live, local entertainment adds a festive touch. The Chandler Farmer's Market is easily accessible (flat and paved) with convenient parking available. Also, be sure to bring cash since most vendors are not set up to take debit or credit cards. If you're not ready to head home quite yet, take advantage of the shops and restaurants located directly adjacent to A.J. Chandler Park. Here's an opportunity to enjoy the cool weather, sip a beverage or have a great meal and support your local community all at the same time. What's not to love?!*Note: The Chandler Farmer's market will not be held November 26 (Thanksgiving Day).
