From the Arizona Republic’s August 18, 2008 article about farmer’s markets cropping up around the Valley due to increasing food prices and recent food scares:
“If the non-profit Community Food Connections can find supporters to put up $50,000 in collateral, it believes it can secure $450,000 in loans to build the 4,000-square-foot indoor Phoenix market. The indoor facility would be located in a building at 14 E. Pierce St., adjacent to the outdoor market. The long-term goal for market organizers is to acquire 25,000 square feet of indoor space and 15,000 square feet of outdoor space, all of which could accommodate 150 vendors.”
