One of the joys of eating local food is the chance to know the farmers. The Dayton and Fallon markets are sourced primarily by Nevada farmers so a little extra drive time is worth the trip. You can still meet some Nevada farmer at the other markets. Just ask the market manager to point you in the right direction.
Thanks to the Edible Reno Tahoe crew for putting together a really comprehensive resource. Here's the info on the Nevada markets.

Hi Shelley-
Thought this might be of interest, too, in case you didn't know about it.

Hi Paula,
Thanks for passing along this link...sounds like a great idea! The site coordinators ask some really good questions about how a program like this works regionally, for example, is it legal. I'll have a little fun with the research and post what I learn.
