Organic produce, fresh food, baked goods, and supporting local farms and businesses is what farmers markets are all about. It’s also a great way to establish healthy eating habits. Sure, a person can get all the ingredients they need to cook from a grocery store, but there’s something special about being able to walk around and hand-pick fresh fruits and vegetables yourself while getting some fresh air. 

There are farmers markets all over the Las Vegas Valley, and no matter which neighborhood you’re in, there’s one near you.

In Downtown Las Vegas? Check out the Downtown 3rd Farmers Market. This event happens on Fridays from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. This market is unusual because it’s indoors, but guests can still expect some of the traditional farmers market products and activities. This market includes inventory from local farms, artisanal food, fresh flowers, and a wide range of organic produce. Attendees can also enjoy the kids craft zone as well as demonstrations from guest chefs. Parking for the farmers market is free, and the set-up is inside the old bus station at 3rd Street and Stewart.

The Farm has chickens, goats, rabbits, pigs, cows, turkeys, and more. Visitors can feed and interact with animals. Open all year long, the market is held on the weekends from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., offering a selection of seasonal fruits, jams, and breads for visitors to enjoy.
