City Sprouts’ mission is to use urban agriculture as a platform to develop equitable food systems, provide educational opportunities, and build community. They boast being the oldest community garden in the city, and teach Omahans environmentally responsible and sustainable gardening techniques. Plus, chickens are fun.

Special thanks to Katie, Cian, Megan, Emily, and the kids for speaking with me and showing off the place.
