Reno Food Systems

They offer an incredible variety of seasonal produce and unique delights that keep every visit exciting. Beyond just shopping, they also provide amazing volunteer opportunities where you can learn hands-on skills like gardening, planting, harvesting, cleaning, and storing fresh produce. It's such a rewarding experience to connect with the process behind the food we eat. Plus, they're conveniently open every weekend (seasonally)—just swing by for fresh, locally grown goodness!

Loved this little market. Has fresh produce and native plants for sale.

Lovely place for local produce, seedlings, and flowers! Will make this a weekly stop! In re: to another review here- yes, the footing is uneven- it’s a farm. Farms have dirt. For growing things in.

Wish there were more places like this in the area. Really enjoy the fresh produce. The only downside is a rather small selection and it all sells out fast.

good collection of starts in healthy shape. Always worth a stop when i’m in Reno

Great selection of fresh and local produce. They also do U-Pick of various crops depending on the weekend.

This is a farm stand. Street parking only. No handicap parking or access. Footing uneven. Limited selection of products.

Amazing place. Ton of amazing foods and spices.

Awesome place to get fresh produce straight from our local farms. You're welcome to walk around to admire the views and animals. I loved the herb stand and the fresh catnip to take home for our feline friends.

I can't say enough good things about Reno Food Systems nursery on Mayberry Drive. I volunteer on Wednesdays for a few hours , and I'm always greeted warmly and there's always something special about my time on the farm. Right now there are plants for sale and they also have a project at paradise park. They have classes to help our community grow our own food, and they donate produce to so many. The farm stand is open on Sundays from 3-7p, stop by and get to know this awesome group of dedicated growers! @yelpreno @renofoodsystems

A wonderful event with AARP, hosted by Reno Food Systems on Mayberry. A how to of floral arranging. We all had such a great time. Reno Food Systems is a must go for everyone that loves fresh veggies and beautiful flowers. It's open Sundays from 3-7, April through October.

My hat goes off to this company! I appreciate everything about their mission and stewarding the land to produce healthy food. Every Sunday from 3-7 they host a farmers market type of venue and although we haven't visited it is definitely on our to do list. Growing up on a farm in southern louisiana you appreciate little movements like this. I would love to support this company for future endeavors. I can't wait to see it continue to blossom & make Reno even more attractive

I have driven by the farm a million times but did not realize what was going on. Their Mission: We are farmers, mentors, and advocates stewarding lands and sharing food & resources for the well-being of our earth, community, and future generations. They do their Farmers Market Sundays 3-7p @ Park Farm 3295 Mayberry Drive Check out their programs here: https://www.renofoodsystems.org/programs

What an adventure in learning. Jolene's passion for GrowingNv is evidenced by the sparkle in her eyes and her general animation when she shares with us. Her knowledge of local farmers and farmer's markets is phenomenal. I will be following her for sure on GrowingNv. Mary is knowledgeable and freely shares her herbal expertise with us. We started with Mock-Cocktails. Start with a cup of ice, add sparkling water, and about 2oz of your favorite syrup. I chose the Elderberry with a mint sprig to stir it all up. Yummy! Next we toured the farm while out syrup reduced and checked in on all the ingredients for our Herbal Respiratory Syrup Recipe. Started with mint, then thyme, next was the velvety soft leaves of the marshmallow plant, and finally, the elecampane. Continuing our tour we met the sow and her new piglets. The piglets are for sale if anyone is interested. We ended up back at the centralized kitchen area where our syrup was about complete. Mary poured the syrup into bowls and then filled our takeaway bottles. With all the smoke a syrup that supports colds, sinuses, seasonal allergies, and most importantly, WILDFIRE SMOKE EXPOSURE. On a side note: I used some syrup in my tea this morning after the smoke blew-in again late last night and I awoke at around 2 am with Smokey odors in my house and sinus headache with stuffy head. After 2 cups of tea and adding about an ounce of syrup to each cup, I felt remarkably better. I will keep in touch with GrowingNv and Jolene, as well as, stay in contact with Mary's website sierrarootswellness.com Definitely a five star event tonite.

Amazing to find a local farm right in the heart of Reno that specializes in planting 90 varieties of plants, herbs, flowers, vegetables- proving that northern Nevada can have a diverse ecosystem and support biodiversity. I love the educational element of the farm and how friendly all the employees are. I learned about all sorts of local herbs and their medicinal properties, how to identify different herbs and walked down the pollinator path! They even have little piglets that are so cute you can walk over to. Having this place as a community resource and the work they are doing to support the community is the best. Bring your kids too to learn about how to be a better steward for the planet. Hope they continue to have more education workshops- would love one specific to northern Nevada gardening. Overall an amazing community treasure- be sure to check out the farm stand Sunday's 3-7 for some Nevada local and grown produce!

Reno Food Systems ... an impressive labor of love that fills a big need in the Truckee Meadows. We're so lucky that we can support the farmers market and plant sales that are offered. The quality of seedlings is beyond anything else we've seen available. It's so much better to get products actually started in our climate, rather than buying starts that are doomed to fail because they are too soft for high desert growing conditions. Support this amazing farm!

Reno Food systems has healthy plants and reasonable prices. They have great native perennials and cold weather and hot weather veggies.

Back in the day in northern NJ and Long Island farmers markets were different than they are today. We would drive out to the farms in NJ and LI where you'd find these stands on the roadside selling what was just harvested from the farmland behind them. The smell in the air was so fresh and the smell of the vegetables and herbs and fruit was lovely. That was maybe 40 or 50 years ago. Visiting Reno Food Systems brought me back to those days in all the very best ways. I was overwhelmed with the selection and couldn't make up my mind what to buy so I settled on the tomatoes which are the best I've had since I left NJ! My only regret is that it took me so long to find this gem. One word of caution. There is no pavement so if you are a bit unsure of your footing as I am bring something or someone to help steady your steps. Fortunately I had my cane in the car.

These folks really care about producing awesome, organic produce. They are a wealth of local relevant farming knowledge and are always pleasant and willing to share that knowledge. Love this place!

We went to check this place out last Sunday, 06/13/21. We bought a thornless blackberry and chive plant. We're pretty new to gardening and had some questions. One of the employees (didn't get his name) was very helpful. He answered all our questions and gave us lots of advice. They also sell some produce there. We will be returning every now and then to see what other kinds of plants they have.

My primary experience with this newer Reno resource is picking up my Tahoe Food Hub subscription basket, which I mostly love. You park on Mayberry and open a small gate to get inside the farm stand. GPS will take you around the corner, ignore that and park where suggested. I've never encountered a live person here when picking up my basket so have little idea of what might be happening at other times. They clearly have things for sale, accept volunteer farm workers, etc; but it isn't clear what hours one might find human beings among the plants. Check out the new Yelp Elite event if herbal remedies are your thing and, I'll bet, learn more about our Reno Farm in the City.
