Reno Food Systems is an urban farm located on the corner of Mayberry drive and McCarran boulevard. Everything from fruit to fresh vegetables to medicinal and culinary herbs are produced on the lot during the growing season. Everything is grown organically and with sustainability in mind. “We have workshops, we have volunteers, we have interns,” said Lyndsey Langsdale, the farm manager. “We also do a lot of educational things as well.” The non-profit began as a vision between a few friends about five years ago and this last season was the fourth successful growing season on the farm. Next year they hope to expand growing into the winter. Find out more about all the growing they plan to do and the partnerships they keep building in this interview with reporter Richard Bednarski.

We do live reporting, micro storytelling and spoken word. As we face an affordable housing crisis, what happens to our most vulnerable?
