At Reno Food Systems, our intention is to both protect public health and promote wildlife habitat through our farm and nursery operations. All our operations are pesticide-free. At Park Farm, we use Full Circle Compost and OMRI certified organic fertilizers. All the ingredients in our nursery soil mix are OMRI certified organic and we use locally made RT Donovan compost. When possible, we choose organic seeds. For veggie seeds, we primarily source from Fedco, a seed coop located in Maine that aggregates seeds from nationwide growers. Fedco does not sell seeds treated with fungicides. They test fruit and vegetable seeds to make sure they are non-GMO and do not sell any GMO seeds.

As Park Farm is evolving with the addition of our
Heritage Orchard and Productive Pollinator Hedgerows,
we're planting a diversity of annuals and perennials to develop a locally adapted
where we would like to showcase the many food, spice, and medicine plants
that can be grown locally while also providing habitat for local wildlife
particularly birds, bees, and butterflies.
Add to your edible wildlife habitat landscape with some beautiful food, spice, and medicine plants from our nursery.
