While We’re Away…
While Tucson CSA takes a break for the last two weeks of 2021, we don’t want to leave you hungry for the superior local produce that you’re used to. Don’t worry, we will be back before you know it. In the meantime here are some ideas for where you will be able find locally grown produce and products from some of the farms and vendors that we partner with.

Heirloom Farmers Markets happen throughout the week at different locations in Tucson and beyond.

Along with locally grown produce, the Heirloom Markets offer a wonderful variety of products from locally made pasta, jerky and granola to tinctures and soaps.

Food Conspiracy Co-op
Located on the Historic 4th Avenue in Tucson, Food Conspiracy Co-op has an excellent selection of locally sourced and made products. If you’re in need of fresh Barrio Bread, it is supplied to the Co-op Wednesday thru Saturday. Food Conspiracy also carries a rotating selection of locally sourced produce based on what is in season for harvest. Signage by each produce item will state where the product was grown. Mano y Metate mole blends are also available at the Co-op and are some of the best moles you will ever try! The Co-op is open to the public from 7AM-9PM daily and also offers curbside pickup from 10AM-6PM daily.
Direct from the Source
Although you may be used to getting all your local culinary needs in the one stop shop we offer at the CSA, you can also head directly to the source. A few of our producers have store fronts that are open to the public. Please be sure to check the business website before heading out to confirm store front hours.
- Barrio Bread – 18 S Eastbourne Ave, open Tuesday-Saturday
- Forbes Meat Company – 220 E Broadway Blvd, open Tuesday-Saturday
