Farmers Market Opens Saturday for the Season
The Third and Curry Street Farmer’s Market in Carson City, kicks off Saturday, June 7 and continues every week through Sept. 20, providing young and old an opportunity to shop and learn in a fun, friendly environment.
Voted number one market in the state three years running, this is the premiere place to find regional and NevadaGrown produce, cheese, eggs, flowers, arranged planters, fresh-baked breads and pastries, honey and produce.
Channel 4 reports that beginning this year, EBT cards will be accepted, which Manager Linda Marrone said could mean vendor sales are better than ever. "There’s more people on food stamps right now than anytime, anywhere."
This is also a wonderful gathering place where friends connect and folks can learn about sustainable farming practices and build relationships with more than 30 area growers. When you buy here, you are on the frontline of supporting local businesses and families.
On select Saturdays, live music fills the venue adding to an already family-friendly environment. Each week, the City hosts a Pop-up Park for children, 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., integrating a variety of fun and educational activities. Canning classes are also offered off-site and more information about that and a full schedule of music and park events can be found under the Events and Programs segment of the web site.
Organizers remind everyone that under state law, no dogs are allowed and ask this law be respected.
