'Intuitive forager' Kerry Clasby's hunt for perfect produce changed her life. Now she wants to change the way Las Vegas eats
Bet on the Farm farmer's market doesn't look like much from the outside. Tucked into a prosaic strip of industrial park on south Dean Martin Drive, it's easy to miss.
Inside, though, it's a cornucopia of good things. Newly harvested pistachios from Pahrump. Lovely bunches of organic herbs grown in Boulder City. Vegetables from an agriculture co-op in Overton. There are plump, sweet dates from just over the California border and juicy apricots from about a hundred miles away in Arizona. Bright produce is everywhere, and the aroma of whole vanilla beans competes with the smell of fresh-roasted coffee beans.
Kerry Clasby's California Family Farms anchors the market, occupying the largest group of tables at the back of the warehouse with an assault of exotic produce: morels and truffles from Oregon, fiddlehead ferns and stinging nettles, pea tendrils, torpedo onions, tiny Tokyo turnips, black radishes and other obscure delicacies from all over California and the Pacific Northwest.
