The Carson Farmer’s Market will be returning June 14 at Mills Park, and according to Owner and Market Manager Breana Owens, there are over 80 vendors signed up for this upcoming season.

“We’re thrilled for the upcoming season at Carson Farmers Market,” Owens said. “This year, we have over 80 vendors signed up and expect around 66 vendors each week—a vibrant mix of returning favorites and fresh new faces.”

There are new vendors joining the market this year, including produce, German baked goods, pickled items, and more:

  • Bee Magic Organics – A wide variety of farm-fresh veggies, herbs, and cut flower bouquets.
  • Das Brothaus – Authentic German baked goods like Laugenbrezeln (pretzels), Rosinen-Zopf, and Marzipan cookies.
  • Hope Academy – Youth-grown produce and garden starts, from tomatoes and kale to cut flowers and gourds.
  • Reno Flower Co. – Stunning hand-tied bouquets featuring specialty cut flowers and greens.
  • Purple Pickled Eaters – A pickled paradise! Offering everything from asparagus to jalapeños.
  • Asianstreet – Skewers grilled over charcoal (beef, chicken, lamb), jerky, and bottled seasoning.
  • Silver State Pie Co. – Fresh-baked hand pies, pot pies, quiche, and “Pie-Tarts.”
  • Cirque Du Ferment Jun-Kombucha – Artisan kombucha tonics in flavors like ginger, rose, and elderberry.
  • Crafted Imperfectly Candle Co. – Handmade candles, wax melts, room sprays, and car diffusers.

It’s a good thing the market is able to entice new vendors each season, because a few vendors will be absent from the pavilion this year.

“We’ll miss a few familiar faces this season—vendors like Sierra Nevada Hemp, Chuck’s Farm, Campie’s Lavender Patch, Haven and Flux, Bobababes, Isla Kuisina, and Mountain View Micros won’t be returning this year due to moves, health reasons, or other life changes,” Owens said. “We’re incredibly grateful for the time they’ve spent with us and the community they helped build. Also, Ash Canyon Flower Farm and Pie Don will be taking a break this season, but we’re happy to share that both plan to return next year.”

Owens said that currently, there are still a few spots left for vendors to get involved, but be sure to sign up soon as this is a highly popular event. If anyone is interested in becoming a vendor, visit our website at https://carsonfarmersmarket.com/become-a-vendor/.

Owens said that while there won’t be any changes to the market layout this year, construction on East William Street might eventually impact some of the parking in the summer.

“We’re encouraging folks to carpool and are working with Carson High for overflow parking options,” Owens said.

There are also a number of bike racks within Mills Park for those who want to travel to the market on two wheels rather than four.

Owens announced a brand new addition to the market this year: a Children’s Entrepreneur Market!

According to Owens, the Children’s Entrepreneur Market is a nonprofit that “empowers kids to launch their own small businesses.”

“Think handmade crafts, baked goods, and more, all run entirely by young entrepreneurs,” Owens said.
