River School Farm

The River School Farm is located along the banks of the Truckee River on a beautiful site with colorfully landscaped gardens, outdoor amphitheater, stage, and picnic area. Our facilities also include an outdoor prep area, dance studio, and vegetable growing areas.

Our farm prides itself on growing food year-round in this high desert, urban environment. Using a variety of innovative growing techniques we are able to produce a diverse mix of organic vegetables and herbs even in the coldest months. We practice responsible micro-farming, aspiring to work within a closed system where we generate our own fertility and food.  In that pursuit we also raise chickens, ducks, goats and keep bees, all of whom contribute to a healthy, wholesome model of living.

We sell our produce through the Great Basin Community Food Co-op during the warm and cold seasons.

The bees have been working overtime this year, producing pounds and pounds of honey. Come check out our operation for yourself, schedule a farm tour!
