Carson City Farmers Market season begins Saturday at Mills Park, celebrating 15 years
This Saturday, the 15th season of the Carson City Farmers Market will begin with a new home inside the Marv Teixeira Pavilion inside Mills Park.
According to Market Manager Breana Coons, the public’s response to the move, which includes more shade than its previous home behind the Carson City Nugget, and more space than its home prior to that in the 3rd Street parking lot, has been positive.
Now, families will be able to visit the market and spend some time in Mills Park before heading out.
Around a dozen new vendors have joined the roster, offering everything from microgreens to crepes and everything in between.
“We have some old-time vendors returning this year, including Do Drop In selling their amazing waffles, and Butler Meats selling their house-made sausages,” Coons said.
Market goers can find everything from fresh produce to ready-made snacks, as well as exotic fare such as specialty mushrooms, bison meat, spicy jams, and more.
The market is always looking for volunteers, especially for the following:
- Community engagement, conducting surveys, counting visitors
- Market setup-tear down
- Photography/Videography
- Kids Booth Organizer
- Vendor/Customer Parking Attendant
- Information Booth Assistant
- Trash collection, keep restroom clean

The market takes place every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. inside Mills Park, located at 1111 E. William Street.
