I love fresh produce and farmer's markets. This one is a bit on the small side compared to many markets I have been to, but it's okay. This is a new venture for Las Vegas so I think we need to give the people who are putting this on the benefit of the doubt and let them work out the kinks. From what I can tell they've had a rough time of it because I believe this market used to be in a warehouse behind the strip and has been moved to the Springs Preserve. I think the Preserve is a great place to hold it, but if it gets any bigger (hope it does!) than they will need a bigger venue at the Preserve. They do need better signage as well. My mother and I parked and just so happened to see people with grocery bags headed in the right direction. If you're going, park in the uncovered area of the parking lot and head around the corner to the left. There will be an open gate and a pathway to the building where the market is. On my trip I was happy to see a lot of greens, some fruit, and some interesting odds and ends from organic growers around the valley. Farmer's markets are really great places to find new things. I happened to pick up some nice, big white grapefruits, fresh as can be spinach (my fave!), broccoli, shallots (gonna be awesome with some potatoes), and honey, AND bee pollen. Bee pollen taken regularly makes you immune to allergies! Oh and it tastes great in hot tea as well. Like I said this market is a bit on the small side, so I would say ditch the babies and kiddies at home and bring adults only. The space is too small to have children or strollers. The prices are pricey, of course, but honestly if you're going to a farmer's market in the middle of the desert and complaining about pricing, just go to Albertson's or Wal Mart for your produce. I plan on going back for sure. The Intuitive Forager (they sell produce at the market) has an email they send out updating as to when the next market will be AND what they will be selling. Very helpful! I suggest signing up for their newsletter if you're in the market for fresh, interesting produce.
