Community
Growing more than food.
A farm in Moapa Valley can do more than grow produce. NoTerra Farms is planned as a place where students learn, where people find steady work, and where local businesses grow alongside it.
Proposed facility visualization
Open doors
A farm students can walk through.
We hope to open the farm to local schools and educational tours.
A working farm turns science, nutrition and agriculture into something students can see for themselves. Visitors would follow how a seed becomes a harvest, how water is treated and used again, and how the building puts Nevada sunshine to work.
Learning partnerships
Learning alongside Nevada schools.
We would like to work with Nevada universities, the College of Southern Nevada, and local school districts.
Together we hope to shape programs in agriculture, water and food technology, from class visits to hands-on projects and internships. These are partnerships we hope to build as the project moves forward. None are in place today.
School meals
Healthier food on school trays.
Fresh greens and vegetables grown nearby can reach school cafeterias soon after harvest.
We want local schools to be among the places NoTerra produce is served, so more students eat food that was growing in their own county days before.
Jobs
Work that opens doors.
The farm will need people to plant, tend, harvest, pack and deliver.
We want those roles to be open to people who have found it hard to get into steady work, with training on the job so a first position can lead to the next one.
Running a controlled growing environment also takes skilled technical work in water treatment, climate and lighting systems, electrical and solar, and maintenance. These are careers people can learn and build on here in Nevada.
Local first
Built with Nevada businesses.
When the farm needs supplies, services or a contractor, we intend to look to local businesses and suppliers first.
Keeping that work close to home means the project strengthens the community it feeds.
