Albuquerque Uptown Farmers Market

Description:

• The parking lot of a highly commercial and large shopping center might seem an incongruous destination for a farmers market, and there must certainly be locals who resent the Albuquerque Uptown Farmers Market's 2009 move to this new location. Certainly it's not as scenic as the markets in the more rural parts of town, but it does offer the advantage of making fresh local produce available in the heart of the city, reaching those who might not otherwise have access to it. Best of all, it has Tuesday hours where most farmers markets are only open weekends, so you can replenish your stocks midweek and eat only the freshest of produce. - Pip Lustgarten
