Backyard Farmer's Market

Local Food For Local People
Winchester Cultural Center holds the Backyard Farmers’ Market at various times during the year. The next is scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 20, 2009.

Farmers from Southern Nevada, including some surprisingly productive backyard gardeners in the Winchester neighborhood, bring their produce to sell to the public. Besides farm fresh produce, farmers also sell breads and fresh eggs. The market takes place in Winchester Park, behind Winchester Cultural Center, and usually includes live music. The market accepts USDA Farmer Market Coupons.

To sell your produce at the Backyard Farmers’ Market, call Winchester at 455-7340.
