New urban farm in Reno

Check this out! One solution to ongoing loss of agricultural land is urban farms. Urban micro-farmers use city land to grow seriously local food. Tom Stille (pronounced Stilly) of Mayberry Farm and his crew have been running an urban micro-farm off of 4th Street for a long time. Now they've added a second site on Valley Road. These farms are a source of tasty, organic, local food for our tables, and great locations for workshops that teach us how to grow our own food. Gotta love mirco-farmers!

Your own seriously local eggs - is it legal in Nevada?

Earlier this month RGJ published an article that is really relevant to an question from earlier posting. The Question? Is it legal to have backyard chickens in Nevada?

As it turns out, for the most part YES! As far as the Reno, Sparks, and Washoe County government are concerned, backyard chickens are fine. Some restrictions apply in Washoe and Sparks so contact them before you jump. The governing bodies most opposed to backyard chickens are Home Owners Associations.
