In 1995, Omaha City Sprouts planted a seed in Omaha, NE to promote urban gardening. 30 years later, that seed has blossomed into an organization with multiple education sites, and an urban farm which grows and donates over 15,000 pounds of healthy and culturally preferred produce each year. Through education and outreach they are cultivating food equity and having a huge impact on the community.
