How to Buy Farm Fresh Produce
There are two ways to buy direct from LSFP’s Rugged Roots Farm—the Tuesday Evening Farm Stand and the self-serve Honor System Fridge open 7-days a week. Veggies, fruit, flowers, and herbs are available June through October at the farm.
Ways to Pay
We gladly accept cash, local check, Venmo, EBT and Farm Bucks!
Qualify for EBT/CalFresh? Great news! You can use your benefits at the Tuesday Evening Farm Stand and double your money through funding from 20,000 Lives (a Plumas County Public Health initiative). We are dedicated to making local food accessible so please take advantage and use CalFresh when you shop with us.
What are Farm Bucks? Farm Bucks are an upfront payment that gives you credit at the farm for all produce, flowers, and events. Available in amounts from $100 to $500 this early season payment helps cover costs as we start growing and before farm income is rolling in.
We offer free and reduced farm bucks to any low-income community members, veterans, anyone impacted by the Dixie Fire and/or anyone who is food insecure. Learn more here.
Weekly Tuesday Evening Farm Stand
Rugged Roots farms' Tuesday Evening farm stands are open mid June through early October. It includes U-pick berries and flowers when available.
EBT/SNAP is accepted at our farm stands with 1:1 market match. You only need to pay one half of the full cost of the produce you purchase with EBT/SNAP.
Lost Sierra Food Project hosts a range of educational community workshops during Rugged Roots Farm’s farm stand. Check out our event’s calendar to see our upcoming community workshops.
What are Farm Bucks?

I bought Farm Bucks…
“For the ease of it. I can stop at the garden whenever I need to, and I don't have to have cash on me, and it's just easy.”
“So that Lost Sierra could have money in the spring to buy things. And so I could shop all summer, spring and fall and not have to have money with me.”
“To support the farm. And to get quality, fresh vegetables and fruits.”
A production farm for local food access
Rugged Roots is a vibrant production farm and one of the few small-scale crop producers in Plumas Co. During the growing season, Rugged Roots supplies local stores like the Feather River Food Co-op, restaurants, and has contracts with Plumas Unified School district and Plumas Charter School for their school lunch programs. Customers can shop direct at the Tuesday Evening Farm Stand and daily honor system fridge.
A hub for learning and community
Rugged Roots is a project of the Lost Sierra Food Project and a demonstration/learning site for the majority of LSFP’s programs. On any given day in the growing season you will find children of all ages exploring and learning through a variety of ag-based programs. LSFP also runs workforce development programs employing young adults each season and training up the next generation of farmers and land stewards. The community is also invited to the farm for food preservation, cooking, and health and wellness workshops.
