| - SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FARMERS!!!!
Although this is not the BEST Farmer's Market I have ever been to, it is definitely the best that Vegas has to offer!
I come here every Friday on my lunch break to have lunch and pick up whatever catches my eye. Usually, I buy a ton of fruit (strawberries, raspberries, blood oranges, apples, passion fruit, mango, pineapple - whatever is in season) and some artichoke, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. All of the fruits and veggies are fresh and tasty and most are organically grown, which is wonderful. Although some things are a bit expensive, I completely understand why. These farmers are competing with huge corporations and grocery store chains that have the ability to mass produce veggies/fruits for cheap! But, I promise you, this stuff tastes better, contains less toxins/chemicals, and its better for you!
The HUMMUS GUY has like, 10-20 different flavors of hummus/dips and they are all delicious. 2 for $10 isn't bad and again, it is fresh and yummy!
There are other vendors who sell baked goods like cookies and scones, honey, bread, fancy varieties of olive oil, jerky, jam, juice, tea, coffee, etc. Everyone is EXTREMELY friendly and there are so many free samples!
Also, there are a few places to get lunch. Usually, there is a food truck present. I've had Fuku Burker and Rusty Pickle and Great Bao.
Today, there was an "Artisan Bread" vendor there offering fresh tuna salad sandwiches with all kinds of fresh veggies on top. I ordered this for lunch and IT WAS AMAZING!!!! $7 is not a bad price for fresh food made with fresh, organic ingredients.
I also ordered fries from another vendor who had gluten free, healthy, french fries with AMAZING dipping sauces like chipotle mayo and curry ketchup. YUM.
Another favorite of mine is the FRESH FLOWER LADY. Today, I gave her $30 and asked her to put something together for me. When I came back after I ate, she had a huge bouquet of roses, star lillies, daisies, carnations, these long purple things... and other varieties of coral/purple/pink flowers. Awesome!
I really can't say enough good things about this Farmers Market.. and I really wish more people would come in and check it out!!!!
