Our flagship project is our 20-acre nonprofit regenerative project on Mayberry Drive, just east of McCarran in west Reno.

​

We currently have 5 acres in production as an urban farm, and in the spring of last year, signed an additional lease with the county on the back pasture to the south, bringing our total stewardship to 20 acres. It's important to note that this additional 15 acres is a pasture preservation project, not an expansion of our working farmland.

 

Our goal is to restore the health of this vital open agricultural space so we will be re-seeding the grass, incorporating native Nevada grass species and repairing the irrigation systems to ensure efficient water use. As a flood irrigated pasture, we are also responsible for the use of Truckee River water which we take very seriously. Whatever happens on this land affects the health of the River so by improving the health of the pasture, excluding the use of chemical inputs and using rotational grazing practices we will limit sediment and toxic runoff from entering the Alum Creek and Truckee River Watershed, protecting our region's sole water source.

 

The pasture will operate as working grazing lands just as it has for generations with continued access for the community as a Washoe County Park. We are honored to be responsible stewards of these beautiful, open pasture lands — preserving their character and ecological value for the community.
