Find out what Nevada farmers and local food advocates are up to!

Nevada farmers, community members, and advocate groups have been working diligently to rebuild Nevada’s food production infrastructure. NCFMA, NevadaGrown, and groups like the Local Food Network are among those leading the way. Here’s an opportunity to learn what some of our most dedicated local food advocates have been up to.

Whether you’re a farmer, a wanna-be micro-farmer, or one of many who want access to tasty, fresh, local food, join us at the annual NCFMA meeting. Listen and learn, or join Local Food Network or NCFMA to help make abundant local food part of our Nevada lifestyle. See the full tentative agenda below.
