Farm Tours
Meet some of our most established and seasoned farmers, as well as those up and coming, while touring their operations and learning how local food is grown here in Nevada County. See the Farm Tour schedule.

CalFresh
Do you know about this program that provides hundreds of dollars each month to low-wage earners? These CalFresh benefits can be used at local farmer’s markets, where 2-for-1 incentives are often available to shop local produce for half the price! Learn more.
