CCSD Giant Student Farmers Market
April 19, 2024, 9:30AM - 12:30PM
The Lawn at Downtown Summerlin
Downtown Summerlin is excited to welcome back Green Our Planet’s Giant Student Farmers Market on Friday, April 19 from 9:30 AM to 112:30PM under The Pavilion.
As the largest student farmers market in America, featuring more than 500 students from over 55 schools in Southern Nevada, students operate the market themselves, selling school-grown fruits, herbs, vegetables, and crafts to the public.
While growing their vegetables from seeds, students also learn how to run their own businesses and create a school-garden-based business plan. At the Giant Farmers Markets, they’re matched with bankers who coach them through customer service and negotiation as they sell their garden-grown fruits and vegetables to the community. Market day is a day that neither the public who buy, nor the students who sell, will ever forget. Contributions from the market will be reinvested into the school’s garden programs.
