Freshest Fruits and Vegetables in Las Vegas

With more farmers and growers offering farm-fresh produce, here are the best fruits and vegetables in Las Vegas.

1. Gilcrease Orchard

Gilcrease Orchard is not a traditional farmers market but a true Las Vegas tradition. 

Find out for yourself and plan a fun adventure to get some of the freshest seasonal produce in the Las Vegas area. September produce in the you-pick orchard includes peaches and pears, with cucumbers going strong in the vegetable garden. At the Farm Stand, pick up spaghetti squash, butternut squash, eggplant, sweet potatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic. In the mood for a treat? Try the caramel apple or apple cider donuts.

During autumn, Gilcrease is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 7 am – 2 pm. If you visit after September 24, you’ll need to buy an entry ticket online. The ticket includes a wagon ride and a trip through the corn maze.

2. Cluck It Farm

Cluck It Farm is located at the Northwest edge of town. The farm is a small family-run operation that calls itself a ‘hidden gem in the desert.’ The dedicated farmers use organic farming practices and do not rely on chemicals or synthetic fertilizers. 

Farm practices are regenerative, meaning the practices are good for the earth – such as drip-line irrigation.

Going to be in Vegas for a while? Cluck It Farm allows customers to receive boxes of local, farm-fresh produce directly by participating in community-supported agriculture, also known as CSA. Produce includes a variety of vegetables, microgreens, and farm stand items such as carrots, radishes, mustard greens, turnips, kale, cabbage, and broccoli.

3. The District at Green Valley Ranch

The District at Green Valley Ranch hosts a popular farmers market every Thursday from 9 am to 1 pm. Located at 2240 Village Walk Drive in Henderson, this farmer’s market gets top marks from customers for freshness.

Expect to meet local vendors and get your fill of fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Some vendors provide samples and treats so you can ‘try-before-you-buy.’
