Northern Nevada Giant Student Farmers Market
Green Our Planet will host the second annual Northern Nevada Giant Student Farmers Market on Wednesday, May 15 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Fuji Park on The Park Grass in Carson City.
The Northern Nevada Giant Student Farmers Market will feature approximately 10 schools throughout the northern part of the Silver State.
Green Our Planet's Giant Student Farmers Market will feature arts, crafts, and produce grown by schools in the Douglas County School District, Washoe County School District, Carson City School District, and Lyon County School District. Students from each district will apply their financial literacy and business management skills they acquired through Green Our Planet’s programming as they sell their produce and handmade crafts at the market.
Launched in 2013, Green Our Planet has become the largest school garden program in the United States working in over 1000+ schools and impacting over 371,400 students nationwide in 42 states and growing. All the proceeds made from the farmers market will return to the schools to further fund the schools’ garden and hydroponics programs. The student-run farmers market gives students the opportunity to become ‘Farmpreneurs’ by empowering them with the opportunity to sell their produce and crafts.
Green Our Planet will host this event with support from First Independent Bank, My Ride to Work, Tesla, Intero Real Estate Services, Hone Company and Rotary Club of Minden.
Fuji Park on The Park Grass, is located at 601 Old Creek Rd., Carson City.
