Arizona residents love their locally made food products and beverages (they love their beer and brownies!). It was difficult to pick just 10 of the best things made in Arizona, but we managed to narrow the list down to our favorites. Did we leave out yours? Let us know in the comments below!
Made in Arizona
Lanternland Lighting is a family-owned American manufacturer of high-quality handcrafted copper and brass lanterns and outdoor lighting. If you are on the hunt for an outdoor pendant light, ceiling light, barn light, wall sconce, wall light or post light, then Lanternland should be your first place to look. Each lighting fixture is handmade to order in their Mesa, Arizona factory and includes the buyers choice of finish and glass. Lanternland lighting fixtures will withstand any outdoor environment including waterfronts as well as wet and snowy climates. If you are ever in the Mesa area, give them a call to sign up for a free factory tour!
Many Arizonans claim that when they visit friends and family in other states, they are asked to bring with them samples from the Queen Creek Olive Mill. From their sustainable farm, the Mill, produces Arizona’s only extra virgin olive oil. They also sell an assortment of flavored olive oils, including Mexican lime, roasted garlic, vanilla bean, and Meyer lemon.
In the brownie business for over 20 years, Fairytale Brownies has become a favorite sweet spot for Arizonans. No two brownies look exactly alike, because each topping is carefully sprinkled or swirled by hand. They also sell cookies and “Fairytale Truffles,” fudgy brownies gently enrobed in rich, 60% Callebaut dark chocolate. Visit the Fairytale Brownies Amazon shop.
Locals love Strawberry Hedgehog’s homemade and vegan bath and body products. Her soaps are handcrafted from natural and plant-based products and are made in small batches to ensure high quality. In addition to soaps, Strawberry Hedgehog offers oils, scrubs, moisturizers, and facial care products.
Lifetime Leather Co. is a maker of fine leather goods and accessories for men and women. These high-quality items are handcrafted from top grain leather and are made to last for generations.
Arroyo Vodka
Arroyo Vodka is the first Phoenix, Arizona, based vodka distillery. After going through an intensive filtering process and distilled twice, Arroyo is impeccably smooth and easy to drink. In addition to using regional ingredients to create flavored vodkas, Arroyo also distills BB’s Apple Pye, an apple pie flavored liqueur.
Beer
Everywhere you look across Arizona, it seems that a new brewpub has popped up. And it’s not amateur stuff, folks. Fan favorite Four Peaks Brewing Company, based in Tempe, offers a wide variety of brews, including their award-winning flagship beer Kilt Lifter, a Scottish style ale. Other great breweries include SanTan Brewing Co. in Chandler, Prescott Brewing Company in Prescott.
Rainbow Cotton Candy has been manufacturing gourmet cotton candy in Tempe, Arizona for 23 years. Each bag is handmade at order using natural sugar cane.

I love those lanterns. I would like to try that vodka too. Great list
I haven’t heard of any of these products before, maybe because I’m on the East coast, but wow, every one of these sounds amazing and good incentive to try them.
Love those lanternland lights!
Don’t forget HF Coors in Tucson. Travel and Leisure named their dinnerware the best Arizona-made gift this past December. Website here: http://www.hfcoors.com
I am really loving the beer scene here in Arizona right now. The food offerings are expanding month to month, making eating the #2 activity among visitors to Arizona. I am trying to stay on top of the local offerings and ship curated small-batch, handcrafted food made in Arizona around the country. Currently there are some of the items listed here as well as new and classic Arizona foods. Check it out http://www.boxofarizona.com
I didn’t realize that the torts and vodka were made in Arizona. And I’m sure there’s a lot more!
BB’s Apple Pye vodka sounds like something I’d like to try!
