The rest of our May farm stands will primarily feature cool season annual seedlings and perennials. We have lots of lettuces and leafy greens that still have some time to flourish before the weather truly gets hot in the coming months.

We also know everyone is excitedly anticipating warm season seedlings; due to our limited infrastructure and challenging micro climate, it’s difficult to have them ready much earlier than the beginning of June. For those that want tomatoes, peppers and other summer delights in the ground earlier, we encourage you to head to the Seedling Sale on May 16th, where a lot of our farmer friends in the region will have locally grown and adapted starts.

Limited amounts of produce and seasonal herbs will be available the next couple of weeks at the farm stand, but will become more prevalent as the days lengthen, soil warms and fields burst into abundance!

Yoga in the orchard is back for 2026! 😍 We will have a rotating cast of instructors, including the marvelous Farmer Jess, who we are grateful for initiating this last season!

We hope you join us on Wednesday evenings as we share space with trees, birdsong and dappled light; a joyous effort to coalesce in the chorus of the land that gives us so much.

*If you can please bring your own yoga mat and/or blanket. We will do our best to supply extras for those who do not have access to one.

“The prosperity of the community grows from the flow of relationships, not the accumulation of goods. When the natural world is understood as a gift instead of private property, there are ethical constraints on the accumulation of abundance that is not yours to own. Gifts are not meant to be hoarded, and thus made scarce for others, but given away, which generates sufficiency for all.” - Robin Wall Kimmerer ‘Serviceberry’

We are privileged enough to utilize the sacred gifts of sunlight, water, air and soil, to grow food and foster a beautiful connection between community and land. There is a long way to go until we collectively realize Robin’s vision of a gift economy rooted in the natural abundance surrounding us, and we are committed to being an integral part of that journey here in Reno.

Your gift and support, coupled with the earthly gifts we tend to, significantly help us extend the gift of local, nourishing food into strategically disadvantaged communities here in Reno. This is the heart of the work we do at the farm, and we appreciate everyone who has already supported these endeavors 🧡

Today we’re filled with joy to highlight Saskia, one of the newest additions to our team 💜. She brings a wealth of experience in agriculture, grant writing and business management; not to mention an infectious and playful energy that seamlessly fits into the farm. Here are some words and thoughts from her:

“Seeds, plants, and soil are magic to me. This biological mutualism of plants, fungi, and microorganisms (I would add water and sunlight) is one of the natural phenomena that keeps me enchanted with the world, especially when I feel despair around humanity’s treatment of the environment and each other. I feel inspired by small-scale, community-driven farms like Reno Food Systems that are focused on making nutrient-dense food available to people who face poverty and hunger. And I have to believe that growing food in this intentional way is one of the antidotes to the burgeoning greed and destruction that plagues society today, which is expressed in our industrialized food system. For example, emerging research suggests that glyphosate, the “silent killer” chemical ubiquitous in herbicides like Roundup, kills the mitochondria in our cells. We now know that this chemical, originally developed for Agent Orange used in the Vietnam war, could cause neurodegenerative or autoimmune diseases, even hormone imbalances. It is therefore in our global health interest to prevent harmful chemicals like these from entering our waterways and foodways. It’s hard to say that “small-scale” or “organic” is the answer when our population numbers are so high and when hunger persists, but I want to contribute to the movement to getting away from agrochemicals as much as possible.”

The joy felt at our last workshop is still lingering so we decided to host another one later this month! On Saturday April 25th a few of our farmers will be coordinating and teaching a “Chickens 101 Workshop.”

Maybe you’re contemplating keeping some backyard hens, maybe you already got chicks this Spring and want to learn more before they head into the coop, or maybe you just want to learn more about chickens and how they’re integrated into the farm; regardless the reason, we’d love to share the space and any wisdom we may possess with you! *Please note that we plan to cover only basics and fundamentals in this workshop.

There are 20 spots available and we need you to RSVP through our website, link in our bio.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out.
