My mailbox is overflowing with 2010 local food updates. What's really exciting this year are the 21st century and increased consumer convenience options our local farmers are incorporating into their operations. Like this one....Custom Gardens is offering EZ payments plans and opening earlier this year.
From my mailbox to you:
Custom Gardens (NV Certified) Organic Farm and CSA in Silver Springs. This is the beginning of the new year 2010.

Northern Nevada farmers are opening farm stands
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.
