Early Bird Farms:

OK folks here’s the updated information on the CSA delivery of fresh vegetables and grains. Drew has been working with me all week to try to figure out how to make this work. He has graciously agreed to deliver to folks that are shut in and or don’t have any other way to get their fresh veggies. He’s only going to charge us five dollars per delivery which is $100 per year. Very reasonable. He is also partnered with the ham stand and with the tortilla company in town and will be offering those products along with his seasonal vegetables and grains. This is a terrific opportunity for those that cannot get out or who like me are compromised and doing 100% isolating at home.  there are only about 20 spots available so if you’re interested email Drew today at the address in the picture. And thank you to Early Bird Farm for doing their best to help our community

Calling all raw goats milk lovers! 🐐🥛
First Rain Farm in Nevada City is taking new herd share members for the upcoming 2019 milking season. What is a herd share you ask? Basically it’s like a vegetable CSA share but it’s for raw goats milk instead of veggies. You pay in advance depending on how many quarts of raw milk you would like each week and we work hard milking 7 days a week for 7 months so that you get the freshest most delicious milk April through October. We raise Nubian dairy goats and their diet is mostly forage from the farm that is managed with rotational grazing as well as a small amount of organic barley(their treat during milking)and organic alfalfa hay.
If you have an interest then head on over to our website www.firstrainfarm.com and click on goats and then click on the yellow banner that says fill out herdshare form. We ask you a few questions and will get back to you with more information regarding pricing ect…! We have about 19 shares available and it will begin April 1st. We hope to hear from you.

We have made the incredibly difficult decision to cancel market tomorrow.

COVID-19 presents an ever changing environment with many uncertainties and hard choices. The Nevada City Farmers Market prioritizes the health and well-being of our community. We realize that these are scary times for us all and we are all working collectively to move forward safely.

With that being said, we will be putting all of our energy into making our May markets as safe as possible so that we can get you the produce you need to stay healthy. Supporting your local farmer is important now more than ever and we plan on coming back in May ready to serve you. In the mean time, please reach out to our incredible vendors and see how you can pick up locally. @freshstarts.organicfarm & @starbrightacresfamilyfarm for all your quarantine garden starts – @riverhillfarmers for the tastiest greens around @amranchca & @the_james_ranch for delicious local meat

Thank you for understanding and please be ready for May when we come back safely ready to serve our community.

Nursery and plants

See full list on Sierra Harvest’s Directory

In case we do not have the Mother’s Day Plant sale in Nevada City and the Master Gardener’s Plant Sale

Heidy Adams “Hi Gardeners, I HAVE PLANTS!!
I’m a small certified organic nursery in Penn Valley. I normally sale mostly wholesale to Briar Patch And Peaceful Valley but both have limited their nurserys. I still have a ton of plants that need homes so I’ve decided to post an updated list regularly to my website and people can email me what they want. Once ordered, I can box them up and put them in the driveway so that there’s no unnecessary contact. Right now is a great time to plant perennials and early spring greens and herbs, so that’s mainly what is ready right now. I’ll have a ton of summer vegetables ready in the next couple of weeks so check back in again if that’s mainly what you want. Enlightenedearthherbs.com“

Medicinal Herbs

Kathi Keville I know! I have 35 flats of 65 medicinal herb species myself, supposedly awaiting NC Mothers Day Plant sale. Glad to hear you’re offering driveway service. If I end up having plant sale here whenever, will let you know so you can bring what you have left.
