Ray and Virginia at Custom Gardens are offering opportunities to come out to their place this holiday season. Learn something, buy something, or get a peek at the farm this very popular CSA program comes from. From my inbox to you:HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE AT THE FARM scheduled.
Silver Springs:
Custom Gardens Farm owners, Ray and Virginia Johnson are planning to greet weekend (Saturday and Sunday) shoppers, starting Saturday November 22 and ending on Sunday, December 21. Open House at the farm is scheduled from 10 AM to 2 PM. The Organic Produce farm is located at 3701 Elm Street in Silver Springs.
The Holiday Open House, at the farm, is to show and teach visitors hoop house production, what will grow in North-Western Nevada during off-season, and to show the various ways people can be involved with a local farm, not just during the summer months, but also from fall through winter and spring.
Featured and available for sale -- for the 5 weekends, (from pre-Thanksgiving to the Dec. 21 winter solstice) will be; a large variety of hoop-house grown Greens and “Roots”, (for salads, soups, stews and stir-fries) living herbs, Kamut wheat grass, micro-greens pots and trays, other edible treats for people and pets plus floral gift ideas, from the farm’s nursery.
To benefit a local food program, visitors, and shoppers are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items or make a cash donation in the farm’s “food-bank” - to be given to a community food program for holiday meal baskets.
