As a locally owned Payson vacation rental on the Payson Golf Course, we love sharing insider tips with our guests. Here’s how to make the most of your visit to the market:

  • Arrive early for the freshest finds (popular items sell out fast!).

  • Bring cash and a reusable bag—though many vendors now accept credit cards.

  • Grab a pastry and coffee first, then stroll and shop.

  • Ask about local grass-fed meats for grilling at Eagle’s Nest—our guests love using the outdoor space to enjoy a meal with a view of the fairway and pine trees.
