We are a true farm‑fresh produce market and our standard is simple and strict:

Produce must be fresh enough to be picked and brought to market within a few days day.This ensures customers receive the highest‑quality fruits and vegetables — the same standard used by top producer‑only markets nationwide.

Our growing region stretches from:

  • Mid‑Nevada

  • Across to Watsonville, CA (our organic strawberries)

  • South to Yerington, NV and Fresno, CA

  • North to Redding, CA

This gives us a wide, diverse, and authentic agricultural base.

Our Farmers must be certified by an agricultural authority so every farmer at our markets must hold a certificate issued by:

  • Nevada Department of Agriculture, or

  • County Departments of Agriculture in California

This certification verifies:

  • They are legitimate agricultural producers

  • They grow the crops they bring

  • They comply with state agricultural regulations

Second Certification

If a farmer brings produce from neighboring farms, those farms must also be certified. We call this second certification, and it ensures full transparency and authenticity.

Organic claims must be backed by official certification

If a vendor uses the word Organic, they must be:

Certified Organic by a recognized certifying organization (e.g., CCOF, Oregon Tilth, USDA‑accredited certifiers)

No exceptions. This protects customers and maintains integrity.

 

 

 

Nutrition Program Update for the 2026 Season

At Shirley’s Farmers’ Markets, we are committed to providing our community with access to fresh, locally grown produce and participating in nutrition programs that support Nevada families and seniors.

SNAP/EBT

Our markets are authorized to accept SNAP/EBT, allowing customers to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables directly from certified farmers. We are proud to continue offering this important service.

Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)

We are approved SFMNP redemption sites for the 2026 season. The Nevada Department of Agriculture administers the Senior Nutrition Program in Northern Nevada, including coupon distribution and market oversight. This program helps eligible seniors purchase fresh, nutritious produce from local growers.

Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB)

We want to clarify why DUFB is not available at our markets this year. For 2026, DUFB funding was awarded only to a Southern Nevada partner, and the program is operating exclusively in that region. Northern Nevada markets, including ours, did not receive funding for this cycle.

While DUFB is not available locally this season, we continue to advocate for expanded nutrition support in Northern Nevada and remain committed to offering high‑quality, farm‑fresh produce to all members of our community.

Thank you for supporting local agriculture and choosing Shirley’s Farmers’ Markets.
