INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – The Incline Village Farmers Market is moving from the Incline Village Library parking lot to Diamond Peak Ski Resort’s upper parking lot starting on their opening day, Thursday, May 21.
The change in venue for the Incline Village Farmers Market comes after owner/operators of Lake Tahoe Markets, Steve and Jill Rozier, decided they had outgrown their previous space – a space they were sharing with, not only the Incline Village Library, but the Incline Village Crystal Bay Justice Court.
Lake Tahoe Markets is a locally owned and family-operated, year-round online farmers market, offering seasonal produce, farm fresh and pasture raised eggs, organic pantry goods, and more. Weekly deliveries take place Mondays and Tuesdays.
“We live in the basin,” said Jill. “We’re very familiar with the area and we very much appreciate locals and we like to support that.”
From May to September, Lake Tahoe Markets holds the Incline Village Farmers Market as a number of local vendors receive opportunities to sell their products in person.
After nine years, the hunt for a new, more spacious parking lot to hold the Incline Village Farmers Market was underway. Yet finding an open parking lot in Incline Village is no easy task, especially one that could hold the plans they had in store for the community. For help, the Roziers reached out to the Incline Village General Improvement District (IVGID), which owns and manages Diamond Peak Ski Resort.
IVGID was adamant on keeping the Incline Village Farmers Market, so they stepped up to support.
“IVGID understood the value of the farmers market for the community,” said Steve, and with this new venue, they can now add even more to their weekly in-person markets.
“Because we have more space, we can have more vendors, we can have activities, music and food – things that we were limited by with the size of the library parking lot,” said Jill.
It’s the start of an exciting new chapter for the Incline Village Farmers Market, Lake Tahoe Markets and the folks they serve.
“A lot of the farmers we use yearly are the ones that come to the basin for these farmers markets. If it’s not our farmers market, they go to other farmers markets, so there’s a lot of farmers people already know and love. It’s a great way to support,” said Steve.
“We’re excited about just seeing what the future holds,” Jill added.
On Thursday, May 21, the Incline Village Farmers Market will be in Diamond Peak’s upper parking lot from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and is scheduled to continue on Thursdays throughout the summer months until September 3.
