The Riverside Farmer's Market is Reno's truly local market, with all vendors growing, raising, or making their goods within the tightest possible radius around Reno. They showcase small, local, and sustainable farmers and ranchers who believe that healthy food begins with a healthy land. They're also home to Reno's newest farmers and ranchers, making it the perfect place to meet the local people growing food locally for the Truckee Meadows community. The ambiance mega casual. It's great, locally owned & anxious to earn your business by providing excellent personalized service. read more

If you enjoy supporting local vendors and perusing, then I absolutely recommend visiting the farmers market. Many local vendors featuring fresh produce, honey, jewelry, food trucks, coffee and cocktails etc. parking is a bit hectic so I would recommend arriving early. Many vendors do sell out as well, especially the fresh produce, and I understand why... everything is delicious and very fresh. A great experience! read more

Love this farmer's market - runs all year, super dog friendly and child friendly, yummy food trucks. Overall quality is pretty good though obviously the produce is much better/plentiful during the summer than winter. Good community event, live music, and great vibes! :) read more

I have been to this Farmer's Market a couple of times, the past 12 months. My goal is to go more often. I like the fresh food and supporting small business. This is a good location. So many great vendors. There is local artist, music, food, things for pets, and more. It is open all year long, just hours of operation slightly change with season. Parking can be challenging, but don't let that scare you away. Carpool, take public transportation , ride a bike, or walk if you live close. read more

Several performers of live music throughout the venue added to the excellent ambiance of celebrating local talent and producers. A staple farmer's market that can be counted on every weekend! All the vendors were friendly and helpful, answering questions about their wares and offerings and methods for supplying what they do to our community. Locally grown produce, ready-to-eat baked goods, clothing, and wares for the home were all available. Additionally, a bunch of food trucks were in attendance to fuel shoppers with coffee, breakfast, and brunch. read more

We frequent this farmers market pretty regularly and are always happy with our time. The parking is an absolute nightmare as it usually is for any event in idlewild, so that is definitely something to consider. The amount and variety of vendors is always great. I think they have a great mix of farmers booths, crafts, and food trucks. Hard to not find something you love everytime you come! The vendors will switch out so there is always something new. The Mother's Day market was incredible they really knocked it out of the park. The live music is nice and on days with good weather there is so much grass to pick from to pop a squat and enjoy the day! read more

FUN! Mother's Day was a total success here, spent far too much and came home with all kinds of snacks and trinkets. Lots of food vendors to choose from, then everything else from clothes to art to dog treats, next time I might go ahead and bring my dog as well. The ambiance in Idlewild park is absolutely fantastic and this was a great way to spend the morning and afternoon. Coffees turned into mimosas.... Mimosas turned into mead and cocktails... The service at every single vendor was absolutely fantastic and selection was great. Can't wait for the next one. read more

Good vibe but very small farmers market. Reminds me of a small town, little children running around. Music. Food and coffee. Saw people parked outside the park and walked in. Beautiful day. Great time to take a stroll and enjoy a pastry. read more

Riverside Farmers Market - Fall is here - Farmers Market Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Today (Sunday, May 25) was a perfect day for the Farmers Market. Mid-70s with a lot of green grassy areas with lovely shade from the trees. Plenty of parking even when arriving after 10 am. People are chill and enjoying the weather with their kids and dogs. While there aren't a ton of fruit and veggie vendors, it was great to see strawberries, stone fruit, and mushrooms for sale. Seemed like there were more arts and crafts vendors than food vendors but there was a nice variety to peruse through. We tried a $6 peach lemonade from Peachy Queens, a $17 combo plate of beef, chicken, and lamb skewers from Asian Street, and bought some Blue Oyster Mushrooms from Mountain Mushrooms. All of the vendors were friendly! read more

Instead of taking the freeway home, I decided to drive down by the river and noticed the farmers market at Idlewild park and decided to go for a Sunday stroll and see what they were offering. A nice handful of eats (hot apple cider, local brewery, crepes, tacos, Filipino food) and local artisans and the sorts: cute dog booths, a knife sharpening, several bakeries, local honey, tea spot, Lavendar, and it looked like only 2 booths with produce. It was late in morning and the crowd was chill and plenty of space for strollers and decked out fur babies in winter wear. Parking took all of ten seconds to score with easy exit back on to the street. read more

So nice to start off a Sunday morning at the Riverside Farmers Market! So easy to bike to, especially with the ultra convenient free bike valet (don't forget to tip!) right at the gate, but also haven't had trouble finding car parking along the road or in the small lots. While the fruits & greens selection is a bit limited at times (just a few small stands), you can't beat the freshness or the variety...we picked up bell peppers that were purple today (a happy accident according to the vendor), and it was our spot for lemon cucumbers for a good while. You can also get plenty of ready-to-eat food, drink, and treats to make at home or eat on the spot from food trucks. Hard to beat the fresh out of the oven selection of breads and morning treats from Beloved's booth and the delicious hand pies (sweet and savory) at the Silver State Pie Company truck. We took home a small-batch, handmade yellow Thai curry (we'll try the spicier red next time) from Pink Elephant to make later. For a sweet treat, love the homemade jams from Lowenkind Bakery (there every other week) and the flavored marshmallows from Sugar Love. And there's so much more -- oils, soap, honey, dog food/treats, fresh eggs, crafts, jewelry, clothes, live music! Great for the whole family, including friendly pets. Highly recommend if you haven't checked it out yet! read more

Riverside Farmers Market - Very purple at the market today: purple potatoes and purple bell peppers! Also seasonal garlic rosemary sourdough and Thai yellow curry. - Farmers Market Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We came to the special Mother's Day event, and wow what a hit it was! There were so many vendors there that it took hours for us to see all of them. Fantastic food, beautiful crafts and live entertainment, what a wonderful way to spend Mother's Day. We left with so many delicious treats. I can't wait to go back again and try out some of the vendors I missed! read more

A great way to spend a Sunday morning all year round! We love to grab a croissant or a cheese bread and wander around, then hit the playground after or ride the train. There is a rarely a weekend where we don't see someone we know (or rather someone my toddler knows lol) so it's a fun little social outing too. Don't miss the mushroom stand and the pink elephant Thai food! read more

Visiting the Holiday Bazaar this last Sunday was really fun. We bundled up and headed to the river for hours of shopping and enjoying all of the different vendor booths. This farmers market has grown so much, the variety and number of booths is impressive. It was nice to see food trucks as well. I know I really enjoyed a Cafe de Olla from La Victoria Coffee. Wonderful way to kick-off the Holiday week. read more

Visited this Farmers Market a few weeks back and I was surprised and excited that this market is year round. Have been waiting for clearer, less wet weather so I can return. What caught my eye was the assortment of mushrooms, especially the oyster mushrooms. I plan on returning to pick myself up a bunch to make some mushroom soup. They also have homemade kombuchas, microgreens, winter vegetables and home made breads. I enjoy the ability to get out, take a walk in nature, and commune with the locals. Plus purchase home grown, made with love goods! read more

First time going to the Farmers Market. Lots of vendors selling lots of ware. Next time I'll go with an empty stomach and peruse the many food trucks! read more

Love The Riverside Farmers Market. They have a good selection of vendors and you can find so many quality goods. For produce come early for the best selection as this market is a popular one. read more

3/17/2024- First time visit- and now I know it won't be the last.. I think the vibe for me was more like an artisan market.. and have no problem with that-.. As for produce only a few vendors.. which is not a problem because we have farmer's markets in our neighborhood.. As for breads and pastries-oh my! Probably bought way more than needed, (but my son can indulge while visiting).. Purchased from Lowenkind- marmalade jam and the chocolate matcha cake.. Long line for Beloved Bread (never heard of).. and picked up a few more pastries and bread- Customer behind me, was saying how the country sourdough bread and empanadas, and focaccia were really good.. If you're visiting, stop by.. it's a great fun visit..! read more

A year-round farmers market in the high desert of the Sierra Nevadas!? I am so grateful to have incorporated Riverside Farmers Market into my weekly routine. The type and quantity of vendors does ebb and flow based on the season, but this market puts the effort in to provide the community a varied mix of goods and services. The best way to keep tabs on what to expect at the market is to follow their Instagram, because they post updates and vendor features regularly. I love the annual Holiday Bazaar, which is a huge weekend with all of the regular vendors plus dozens more artisans just before the holiday season. Even though I don't buy from the same vendors week over week, some of my favorites are Prema Farms and their arugula, Sasquatch Foods and their filling Snackers, No City Coffee for a hot latte, and (a new favorite) Honed by Jones for knife sharpening. Riverside Farmers Market continues to evolve and improve and keeps me coming back as a pleasant end to my weekend. I would recommend checking it out even just to window shop or enjoy the beauty of a lively community event in Idlewild park. read more

I don't know if there are enough words to describe how much I love that Farmers Market and how great it is. Happening every Sunday morning, all year round, no matter what the weather is like, and being all about bringing community together and supporting local businesses. All that happening in the middle of beautiful idle wild Park next to the ponds. Sounds like heaven to me. Each single vendor is truly amazing and deeply passionate and committed to what they do. From arts and crafts to Baker's to Farmersand not to forget the many delicious food trucks and coffee/drink trucks that show up every weekend. On top of that there is life music happening. And during the dry warmer months, there's free yoga classes happening on the grass. And they always build up a free little kids play area read more

On #ThankYouThursday I want to share my gratitude with Riverside Farmers Market and all of the incredible local businesses that show up to showcase and share their produce, products and passions with our community. You simply won't find a more diverse market anywhere else in town, and the best part is there's always something new and exciting to discover here. Lately my favorite stalls to visit have included Rising For People Coffee Co for their weekly single origin coffee tastings, The Wheyfarer Cheese Shop for the fantastic and ever changing selection of exceptional cheeses and free samples, Beloved's Bread (soon to be opening a full service bakery at Reno Public Market) for their epic array of incredible breads and pastries, and Terroir Herbals for their tonics, elixirs, shrubs and remedies made from locally sourced, functional and medicinal flora! Riverside Market is an incredible platform for makers and growers in our community and I am so grateful that this exists weekly for us all to enjoy. If you haven't visited, it's a whole vibe and you must do so soon! read more

I woke up early to experience the Farmer's Market in Reno, not knowing they moved it close to the playground in Idlewild Park. But not complaining in the distance from the car where I parked. I enjoyed the walked to location of the Farmer's Market. Maybe it was just me I was expecting to see a lot of fruits, flowers and samples of a specific delicacy. I'm so happy the owners of pinkelephant kitchen in Carson City insisted to try their curries, it was honestly so good. My friend ended buying one and I bought their mango sticky rice. It was so delightful. I had fruit danish in Beloved's bread it was delicious too. Maybe it's difficult to harvest fruits and vegetables this year around, but I'm glad I saw a bit of it. My friend had a ham and cheese crepe that was. It was more organized, they have signs, and seats where people can sit. I appreciate the whole year farmer's market. Just sad not to see fresh flowers, fresh produce. I see more pastries, cookies and breads. I feel like it needs more vendors to join the Reno Farmer's Market. Can't wait to check it out in Summer time. read more

I have been going to the Market about once a month since I moved to town. I go sometimes to do some serious shopping, other times just to get some fresh air and see what local vendors have for sale. Follow the market on social media or sign up for their emails to get a sneak peek into upcoming events. Most Sundays there are the usual vendors which is nice because you know what to expect. The special events feature a more wide variety of booths which I enjoy because it mixes things up a bit. When there are special events the market is packed and be prepared to park and walk a distance. I appreciate that the market is rain or shine. The market is geared for everyone- there is a designated kid play area, yoga, and usually a live singer or performer. read more

Farmers Markets are always a good idea. Fresh air, generally nice weather, supporting local and small businesses. What else do you want?! Plus it's currently located at the quaint location of McKinley Arts Center just a stone's throw from the Truckee River. Lots of good vendors; baked goods, prepared foods, hot and cold drinks, craft items, and a few produce farmers as well. Everyone is happy and vendors are selling their wares and bringing together the community. I can't stress enough how important it is to support these wonderful businesses and the people that run them! read more

1/22/22 Yelp 1 of 3 Needed some local honey. Best/closest honey we found here was from Fallon, First Fruits Fallon, and they were selling a 1lb honey jar for only $10. Quality/Quantity - All was good, but today we wanted/needed local honey. In my opinion, the hit of the market was "Smokin Joe's BBQ;" you could smell their BBQ throughout the market. Atmosphere - Year round farmers market, every Saturday from 9am to noon @ the McKinley Arts Culture Center. Fun, cool, and popular farmers market. Live music. Outhouses. Plenty of free private parking and street parking. Dogs must be leashed. Service - Everyone was friendly. Price - All was reasonably priced, especially for a fresh and local farmers market. I expect to always pay more at farmers markets. Owner Suggestion - Good job creating and marketing this farmers market; it is poppin'! We will be back. read more

What a fun place to go to on Sunday. Went with the family to take in the sun, people, and the offerings from dozens of vendors. Lots of local businesses that share their products and crafts. Add to it, lots of people to meet and an amazing location at Idlewild Park. Brought our dog with us and he got to meet lots of other four-legged buddies. The new location provides lots more parking and allows for lots more vendors. Pick up some organic produce and meats along and some coffee, different foods and you've got yourself a great way to start your Sunday. I do have to say I have one particular vendor I yearn to purchase from and that is Carson City's Pink Elephant. They absolutely have the best curry sauces I have ever had. My favorite is the Green Curry, but the Red and Yellow are sublime as well. See everyone next week!!! read more

why does the website say "open 8am sundays year round" but in bold red lettering it shows "CLOSED" at 9am this sunday morning?? where's the/any "farmer's" produce? why are vendors still setting up at 9am when it opens at 8?? why does a bread vendor tell me "vendors only until 9" - seriously?? and it was 3 minutes to 9 - pretty lame experience overall... read more

Great Saturday morning farmers market! This market is right by the river and has produce, baked goods, crafts, jewelry, and food trucks. I definitely recommend coming here. All the prices I saw were reasonable; most vendors took card but I brought cash just in case, especially for those lower priced items. I went at 9:45 (hours are 9-12) and some items were already sold, so go early! read more

Love the atmosphere and the variety of vendors. But don't sleep on Beloved's Breads. Got the lemon rosemary bread last week and it is HEAVEN. Been toasting it all week, sometimes with honey. Can easily imagine using it at the holidays for bruschetta with ricotta, figs and honey. Oh, and Prema Farm is our go-to for fresh garlic ever since meeting them at the Garlic Festival. read more

I absolutely love coming to the market! The array of vendors is always amazing. Parking is definitely rough as the current location is a hot commodity! I love being able to stroll around with a yummy cup of coffee as I peruse the goods from vendors. I can't wait to see what the new location will offer and the new time. (Not really looking forward to it as its during prime church time on Sundays). read more

I finally made it to the farmers market this year and am so glad I did! I was a bit disappointed to see that they moved it to Sundays as my family and I do attend church and unfortunately the hours aren't conducive for me to be able to do both. But, overall I had a wonderful time and definitely plan to come back. It was much larger than I expected it to be and quite busy! Parking is hit or miss as there are so many people, but it's not terrible. The location is perfect and everything is laid out so you can move about the vendors easily and not feel overcrowded. Everyone was friendly and kind and quick to answer any questions I had. There are so many different vendors and I love to see/meet new people who share their craft/foods. I was able to find a few places that I can't wait to purchase products from again. They also had a couple of food trucks for some extra options to eat at if you want a quick bite while you shop. read more

We were disappointed when we arrived, only to find more vendors selling goods than an authentic farmers market selling fresh farm goods such as vegetables, fruits, etc., which you would typically expect to see.

1.19.19 I love going to any farmers market. One Saturday morning, my room mate told me about a nearby farmers market and wanted to pay a visit, so we did! This market was called the Riverside Farmers Market and is usually open 9am - 12pm every Saturday. There stood about seven to eight tents selling various goods and produce. We didn't realize it until we were strolling through the tents, but we forgot to bring CASH. If there's something that is essential to bring to a farmers market it would have to be cash. We did, however, have just enough to purchase a refreshing juice concoction from one of the tents. Our visit to the Riverside Farmers Market was short and brief, but we thought it was the perfect way to start our Saturday morning. It was great to see people come and support all of these local businesses. We both agreed to make it a point to visit and support farmers markets more often. Call it a New Year's Resolution. read more

I finally went to the Riverside Farmers Market in Reno on a warm Sunday morning in June last week. i'm from the Bay Area and I love farmers markets! I've always wanted to go to this market at Idlewild Park in Reno and never made it because we used to check-out on Sundays to return home. Now that I'm retired, I love staying for the whole weekend! I love the vibe of this market, located by the ponds of Idlewild Park. Live music, lots of food trucks, artisans, and seasonal produce. Free parking, clean bathrooms, and lots of open spaces. We enjoyed our tasty Filipino Tapsilog breakfast from Malaya Eats food truck. We also liked a savory breakfast crepe from Olivier's Organic French Crepes food truck, and our lattes from a nearby coffee truck. We found a table and totally enjoyed a perfect Sunday morning brunch outdoors in the park. Energized with coffee and full bellies, time to go shopping! I got some fresh Lion's Mane and Maitake mushrooms to cook for dinner as well as a couple of bottles of mushroom tinctures to take home. My daughter got a beautiful handcrafted ceramic mug (dishwasher and microwave safe!). Also got some fresh nectarines, peaches, plums and tomatoes. I will definitely come back to enjoy Sunday mornings at Riverside Farmers Market next time I'm in Reno. read more

A nice walk around the park. Music and prepared food. Lots of shops selling trinkets and decor. I do wish there were more market food items. I wanted to buy fresh veggies and fruits and the few times I've gone, it's been sparse and extremely expensive. Still a nice time being outside and taking in the sights and smells. read more

Crowded and not many interesting stands. Only one sold fruit and it was a ripoff. $2.50 a piece for average peaches. Even the Sparks Farmers Market is better. read more

So I went on Saturday and the market was sharing the park with another event. This meant that the vendors had been reduced and there were not alot of fruits and vegetables. There was pizza, bread, mushrooms, cider,tea, soap etc. Still a fun day out but I'll double check next time so I get my heirloom tomatoes as I should. read more
