Turn Nevada Green empowers individuals through rehabilitation and agricultural education growing food, rebuilding lives, and restoring hope in Nevada's communities.

Our Mission

Rehabilitation Through the Power of Agriculture

Turn Nevada Green was founded on a simple but powerful belief: when people connect with the land, they reconnect with themselves. Our programs provide individuals transitioning out of the justice system with hands-on agricultural training, therapeutic gardening, and a supportive community.

Through sustainable farming practices, we transform vacant Nevada land into thriving gardens, and in the process, transform lives. Every seed planted is a step toward a second chance.

Community farming
Our Approach

From Soil to Soul

Our three-phase approach ensures lasting transformation through nature-based rehabilitation.

01

Cultivate

Participants begin with hands-on farming basics, soil preparation, planting, and irrigation. Working the ground teaches patience and responsibility.

02

Educate

Through workshops and mentorship, participants earn certifications in sustainable agriculture, business management, and nutrition education.

03

Reintegrate

Graduates receive job placement support, housing assistance, and ongoing community connections, building a sustainable path forward.

Our Programs

Growing Together

Each program is designed to nurture skills, restore confidence, and build lasting community connections.
