Soon we'll have more options for purchasing food grown by really local farmers. More Nevada farmers are starting on-farm markets, or farm stands.
Getting fresh food from the farm to the market, while simultaneously running a farm can be a challenge. The food distribution system that delivers our food to the supermarket is not available to local farmers and it doesn't work with fresh food, so farmers have to come up with other innovative ways to get their product to us. Some are returning to the use of farm stands, which connect us to the fresh food and give us an opportunity to relearn where food comes from.
From my mailbox to you,
"Visit Custom Gardens On-farm Farmer's Market, Sundays beginning June 21, 10am-2pm. Meet the farmers, take a tour of the farm, and fill your market bag with locally-grown, certified organic produce. For directions to the farm, call (775) 577-2069 or go to Custom Gardens.
More farm stands will be opening soon. Visit Nevada Grown for more information."
