Heirloom Farmers Market- Rillito Park

Heirloom Farmers Market- Rillito Park pairs a Sunday shopping routine with a stated nonprofit mission to create “a vibrant food system that serves the community”. Set in the southeast corner of Rillito Park along The Loop, this Tucson market brings together farmers, ranchers, and artisan food purveyors for a weekly mix of local produce and fresh cuisine. The setting gives the market a distinct Tucson feel: a park location, a bike-trail edge, and a lineup built around food rather than general merchandise. If you want a market centered on produce, prepared foods, and pantry staples in one stop, this one is designed that way.

What you'll find there

Rillito Park’s vendor mix leans heavily toward ready-to-eat foods, baked goods, preserved items, and produce-oriented shopping rather than crafts. That makes it a strong fit for visitors who want to pick up ingredients and breakfast or lunch in the same pass through the market.
