More than 400 Clark County School District students will set up stalls at the Clark County Government Center this Wednesday, selling garden-grown fruits, vegetables, herbs, and handcrafted goods they've nurtured themselves. The event marks the 13th annual Giant Student Farmers Market, billed as the largest student-run farmers market in the nation, running from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at 500 Grand Central Parkway in Las Vegas.
The gathering, announced by Clark County Nevada
, invites the public to meet Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick alongside the nonprofit Green Our Planet, which runs the market in partnership with the Clark County School District. Every dollar earned by students gets reinvested into their own school garden programs, part of a model where kids draft business plans, calculate costs, set prices, and track profits and losses before they ever set up a table, according to

The market is presented by Credit One and held in partnership with Nevada State Bank, Western Alliance Bank, and F1 Las Vegas, according to the Clark County announcement. It showcases local students' work while bringing fresh produce directly to the community — a bi-annual tradition that alternates between Downtown Summerlin in spring and the Clark County Government Center in fall, per the same account.
A Program Built on Financial Literacy and Soil
Green Our Planet held a 2026 spring Giant Student Farmers Market, according to Nevada Business Magazine. The nonprofit also runs hydroponics programs in schools.
Founded in Las Vegas in 2013 by documentary filmmakers Ciara Byrne and Kim MacQuarrie, Green Our Planet has since grown into a national operation supporting more than 800 active programs across 44 states and five countries, impacting over 500,000 students worldwide, according to Las Vegas Weekly.
Green Our Planet's Reach and a New Headquarters
Green Our Planet had expanded to 250 schools, reports The Nevada Independent.
The organization broke ground on its new headquarters, the Compassionate Gardens HQ in East Las Vegas. The project has received support from Clark County and Commissioner Kirkpatrick. The facility, as detailed by Nevada Business Magazine, will include a hydroponics lab, teaching kitchen, outdoor classroom, and community garden.
The District Behind the Market
The Clark County School District partners with Green Our Planet on Wednesday's event.
