| - I visited this Farmers Market on Friday, 4/20. Lots of people there when I arrived early afternoon. It took me a while to find it, not knowing that it was next to the Mob Museum in the old RTC bus station.
Good to know, especially in the heat, that this will be held inside. I'm a Cali native, so I'm used to bountiful produce at farmer's markets. I've lived in Vegas for eight years and have yearned for more selection at what passes for farmer's markets here. Now, with the revival of the Downtown area and more markets springing up around town, this is a welcome addition to the mix.
I bought some fresh raw spinach from one vendor, roasted red beet hummus, garlic hummus, and fresh baked pita chips from another. There are other vendors selling baked goods, breads, fresh pasta, as well as in-house businesses selling tamales and salads. There are also craft vendors selling jewelry, soaps, and clothing.
Bring your cash, your appetite, and bags to hold all your goodies! When I left, I went outside where the food trucks congregate and bought my favorite mango smoothie from Grouchy John's. I was told by a vendor that they might eventually expand this market to include Saturdays and Sundays. They really should!
