| - I go to a lot of farmers markets, and this is the smallest one I've seen. There's usually a few vendors with great prices on produce, so it can be an affordable trip to stock up on quality fruits and veggies. At some of the other markets, I spend $10 and leave with a cherimoya and a passion fruit.
I love walking around Floyd Lamb Park, so free park admission during the market is incentive enough for me to attend. Rika Arepa Express food truck is usually a vendor, and I will definitely drive ten minutes from my house for their tasty Venezuelan fare. Frankly Good Coffee, Great Harvest Breads, and Whoa! Toffee are other vendors of note. Most of the booths offer samples of their products. Most of the vendors accept debit/credit, but it's best to bring cash.
This market takes place from 10am to 2pm on the first and third Saturdays of each month. Of the Las Vegas Farmers Markets held around town, this is the only one that doesn't conflict with my work schedule, so I can't compare it to their other events. Overall, this is the only farmers market held in a picturesque park full of peacocks (and history!), and that's enough to make me go back. I wouldn't drive here if I lived far away.
