In the Garden Community
Nevada County is full of people who grow things, tend things, and show up for each other. Here's what's happening around our Sierra Foothills community — events worth knowing about, markets worth visiting, and a few notes from the field. Updated weekly.

Nevada City Farmers Market
Union Street, downtown Nevada City. One of my favorites — local farmers, sustainable agriculture, and a beautiful walkable setting. Go early.
