Farmers Market Coming to Reno

The City of Reno entered into exclusive agreement with the Nevada Certified Farmers Market Association to bring an urban market to downtown Reno. Unlike the Sparks farmers market, this would be a more permanent fixture in downtown, and include a couple indoor restaurants, spaces for artists to sell things as well, and of course, groceries. This could be BETTER than a regular ole grocery store, and provide the much needed grocery source for current and future downtown residents. The Farmers Market is on the fast track, and should be open by this summer. There would be a common kitchen for farmers to prepare foods, and the Nevada Certified Farmers Market Association mention everything from fresh fish and salmon (yum) to produce, to jellies, produce, meats, etc. Last I was told, at least two locations were being considered, one being the Freight House area and the other being the bottom floor of Riverwalk Towers.
