This Tiny Roadside Farmers Market In Arizona Is Too Good To Pass Up

Enormous farmers markets are nice, but there’s something about an intimate roadside stand that completely elevates the experience. Tucked away in a Phoenix suburb, Summer’s Fruit Barn has been selling produce on the side of Baseline Road for years. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, keep an eye out for this hidden gem.

Hiding on the outskirts of Phoenix is a quaint little produce stand that’s so small, you could easily blink and pass right by without even realizing it.
