OH, Az has even cooler options than TJ's or Whole Foods, fresh n easy is neat, but I'm all about the Farmer's markets!!!! Plus, do you know of Bountiful Baskets? If you aren't a picky eater, this is a good way to get a bunch of fruit and veggies for $16.50 after your first basket fee of $3 is paid making your first trip $19.50. It started off really small with like 12 spots for pick up, and has now spread into Utah, Washington and coming soon Oregon and Indiana! IT's fantastic...Anyway, go to Yelp.com and search on Bountiful Baskets...see if it's something you want to try...
Here is their link to order, you have to order by wednesday, then you pick up you fruit and veggies at the location of your choice on Saturday mornings.

Also, the downtown public market is year round. I've been once and was blown away by all the vendors that come and the selection of veggies, bread, salsa, hummus, honey, etc I could get.

Also there is a farmers market at Roadrunner park (SR51 & Cactus Road, east) I haven't checked that one out, but I hear it's much bigger than the one down town. I'm in Laveen, but I love getting out of the house on Saturday to go to Farmers market, even if you dont buy anything it's so worth the experience!
