Garden Farms x Vegas Golden Knights Junior Farmers Market
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The Vegas Golden Knights Foundation is partnering with Garden Farm of Nevada to host a farmers market in Henderson.
On March 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Lee’s Family Forum, the Farmers Market will take place in the Gold Lot and will feature fresh produce grown by students from 19 local schools participating in sustainability programs through Garden Farms.
Garden Farms of Nevada works to empower individuals and communities to grow their own food. The organization supports schools, senior centers, and low-income communities by helping them build and maintain gardens that improve access to fresh, healthy produce
The VGK Foundation said it will match all produce sales from the market, up to $20,000, with funds going directly back to the schools’ sustainability programs. In addition to the Farmers Market, a portion of the proceeds from the March 17 jersey auction will go towards the organization’s initiatives.
Members of the Vegas Golden Knights organization, including alumni Alec Martinez, as well as the Henderson Silver Knights and Vegas Knight Hawks, are set to attend the event.
