Nevada County Grown is a non-profit, tax-exempt marketing organization created to strengthen the connection between local farmers and ranchers and the larger community. It is the result of collaborative efforts of key members of the Local Food Coalition, including the Agricultural Advisory Commission (AAC), the Agricultural Commissioner, the UC Cooperative Extension farm advisor, several members of the Nevada County Farm Bureau board, and a core group of dedicated community-at-large volunteers.

The mission of Nevada County Grown is to foster a sustainable local agricultural economy by making the community aware of locally grown agricultural products and assisting qualified agricultural producers to promote their products. This is done by proudly displaying the Nevada County Grown logo, publishing the Farm Guide, maintaining the Nevada County Grown web site, and promoting local agriculture at community events.

As a membership organization, Nevada County Grown has a Board of Directors comprised of agricultural producers and community-at-large members. Annual membership dues fund marketing programs, materials and educational resources. Check out our membership page to become a member.

Supporting local farmers and ranchers keeps money circulating in the local community, and helps preserve the land and rural values we all enjoy.
