Great work at Garden Farms of NV!
Also check out our workshops for learning how to grow in North Las Vegas and the Las Vegas valley!

Las Vegas residents are opting to grow their own food as recalls continue to hit grocery stores, a local organization tells FOX5.

“You can rent a community garden here. Or you can just start with hydroponics. There’s a lot of different options out there."

U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell ordered the USDA to reinstate $127 million dollars in grants for 24 organizations supporting Black and underserved farmers. The USDA had previously canceled these awards, which were part of the Increasing Land, Capital, and Market Access Program.

The USDA initially terminated the grants, part of Biden-era relief packages, citing concerns over waste, fraud, and a move away from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

Twenty four affected grantees and local governments sued the USDA (case USDN v. USDA), arguing that the terminations were unlawful and caused irreparable harm to operations helping farmers access land and capital.

The court required the USDA to report on its compliance to reinstate the funding. A final ruling will determine if the grant cancellations were completely legal.
