Farms & Ranches
Nevada County Free Range Beef
Our cattle are grass fed and grass finished. They range freely over hundreds of acres of lush green pasture, enjoying fresh air, warm sunshine, and clear water. We don’t give them hormones or antibiotics, and their pasture grass is pesticide free. And of course, our cows are never, ever confined to a feedlot. http://www.nevadacountyfreerangebeef.com
Nevada County Grown
Located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Nevada County is home to a healthy and vibrant base of local agriculture producers. From grass fed beef to organic vegetables, from bees to Christmas trees, from incredible compost to delicious Cabernets, our county offers numerous micro-climates and healthy watersheds to support a complete local harvest. Whether you choose to join our growing family or whether you are searching for genuine local fresh food, enjoy our home on the web. http://www.nevadacountygrown.org
CSAs
What is a CSA ?
from Sunsmile Farms – photo Riverhill Farm
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a unique partnership between farmers and consumers sharing agricultural responsibilities to provide healthy food from a healthy environment. Consumers become members by buying a share of the harvest in advance of the growing season. This provides the farmer the working capital to purchase supplies as needed, and guarantees the farmer a market for the produce. In return, the member receives shares in the farm’s bounty, as well as a direct connection to the place where their food is grown and the people who grow it.
How does it work ?
Every week you pick up a box filled with farm fresh fruits and vegetables. The contents vary from week to week and season to season, depending on what’s being harvested. You can count on an interesting selection of vegetables (including our wonderful heirloom tomatoes!), fruits, nuts, herbs, honey, berries, melons, and juice. Recipes are also provided to give you ideas for cooking with the fruits and vegetables.
