Heirloom Farmers Market- Trail Dust Town

Heirloom Farmers Market- Trail Dust Town ties its Friday market to a broader food-access mission, supporting SNAP/EBT, WIC, and FMNP Seniors as part of providing fresh, healthy local foods to the community. On Tucson’s east side, the market runs at the north entrance of the 173-acre Morris K. Udall Park, where more than 40 vendors bring together local and organic produce, farm-fresh eggs, Arizona grass-fed beef, local honey, and locally roasted coffee. The setting makes this market feel practical as much as scenic: it is visible from Tanque Verde Road and positioned for a quick weekly shop as well as a longer browse through food producers and prepared-food stands.

Why it matters locally

Morris K. Udall Park gives this market a specific role on Tucson’s east side, with the Friday market placed at the park’s north entrance and described as a place where locals can connect with their farmers and food producers each week. Heirloom Farmers Markets also frames the site around food access, supporting SNAP/EBT, WIC, and FMNP Seniors as part of its mission.

That local role is reinforced by the market’s partnerships. The market credits the City of Tucson’s Parks and Recreation and Trail Dust Town as collaborators. Arizona Complete Health sponsors the Market Ambassador, Taste of the Market, and Heirloom Kids programs at the market. The Double Up Food Bucks AZ program is part of Fair Food Network’s national Double Up program and was brought to Arizona by Pinnacle Prevention.
