Roadrunner Park Farmers Market
Check out the Roadrunner Park Farmers market every Saturday from 8:00-1:00p. Summer hours are in effect from June 7th- July 26th 7-11am
Roadrunner Park Farmers market is the longest consecutively running farmers market in the state of Arizona, serving the community since 1990!
What does it offer?
Local farm produce including fresh vegetables & fruit, baked goods, honey, jams and jellies, nursery stock, natural pork, beef and fish, hand crafted items.
The booths rotate but some staples to check out are:
- P.B Americano for delicious varieties of nut butter,
- B Naked chocolates offering delicious macaroons and more,
- Vilardi Gardens offering heirloom tomatoes, basil, eggplant, and more great veggies.
- Blue Sky organic farms offering certified organically grown produce and local eggs.
- Raimondos gluten free Italian cuisine offering veggie lasagna, eggplant rollatini, meatballs and more
- JH Grass Fed offers grass fed beef, lamb, and chicken from Holbrook ranch 45 miles north of Cave Creek
The best part is easy credit card shopping. Cash is always welcome, but one credit card charge can pay for all your purchases from any of the vendors at the information booth. Many vendors offer square card readers as a payment option too.
If you go bring your reusable and recycled bags, go early for the best selection. Sometimes popular items sell out fast.
Get to know the vendors, often times you can pre-order goods from them and pick them up the next time you go to the Farmer’s market.
Partner with your family and neighbors for bulk savings. Ordering food in bulk gets great prices and then you can divide it among your group.
Roadrunner Park is just east of State Route 51 on the north side of Cactus located in the front (southern part) of Roadrunner Park.

All about Phoenix Paradise Gardens Homes
The Phoenix Paradise Gardens Subdivision built in the 1960’s covers the area from 32nd Street to 36th Street and Mountain View to Gold Dust.
Not your average subdivision; Paradise Gardens was a partnership with famous Phoenix modern architect Al Beadle.
Al Beadle not one to mince words once said “Unfortunately, most people are not aware of good design. The architect’s catch-22 is that people with taste have no money, and the people with money have no taste, so that often leaves the architect out.”
Though the partnership between Al Beadle and developer Robert Altherr and A-1 Construction didn’t last very long the modern Beadle design is carried throughout the subdivision. The architect created homes especially suited to the desert with deep overhangs and an indoor/outdoor connection that let’s the occupants fully connect with the desert ensconced in the safety of the steel and block “shelter” .
There are four cactus themed floor plans that maintain a clean, modern, design that Al Beadle was known for.
Here are a look at some of the drawings and homes today.

The original design brochure
Many Paradise Gardens homes continue the mid century trend but offer modern touches. Paradise Gardens Homes are keeping the original design but adding modern conveniences such as closed garages or extra closet spaces are common. The trick is to keep the open design concept while still allowing for some privacy and efficiency for our modern technology.
Known as the steel and glass man, the Modern Architecture of Al Beadle reflects a purity of design that endures even today. Phoenix Gardens remains a popular choice for architect enthusiasts, mid century modern lovers, and Phoenix families.
