I had lived in New York for 45 years. I come from a family of foodies. We have always gone to farmers' markets before I even knew what that was, or it was even called that. It was just a farm stand. Upon arriving in Las Vegas, my wife, Cory, learned of the "Bet on the Farm" farmers' market that was being held at the time in the warehouse for Mario Battali's restaurants here in Las Vegas. The woman who contributed insight, guidance, and an amazing array of fresh produce to that, Kerry Clasby, with her partner Cheryl Macpherson have opened the Downtown 3rd Farmers' Market. Wow. Mind blowing. I have never had access to such a high quality variety of fresh produce, almost all immediately local (California is local too when you live in the desert), in my life. Bespoke foods, locally made, food trucks, flowers, fresh juices, an amazing environment, music, cooking demonstrations, and community. Awesome. It is now my favorite lunchtime meeting location! Too bad it is only once a week.
