When trying to grow a local food system, land access is key, but knowledge is half the battle! 🧠

That is why our work doesn’t stop with creating farms and gardens for the community. We are doing more than ever to provide free and affordable educational opportunities to help local growers succeed. This benefits growers in our program and expands our reach to many farmers and gardeners outside of our program, creating a community of knowledgable food producers that help our community thrive! ✨

Gardeners can take classes on everything from seed starting to gardens as therapy...and farmers are able to access series providing in-depth knowledge on business planning and marketing to meeting their entrepreneurial goals.

Our classes and workshops result in curriculum, templates, and handouts that make growing your own food and building a farm business more accessible to all! 🙌

Help local growers learn the critical skills they need to succeed by donating today! https://loom.ly/CP9_4Ss

Community gardens create spaces for families to feed themselves...and to feel at home! 🏠

They create abundance: “The Community Crops Program didn’t just teach me gardening; it helped me rediscover the simple happiness of growing and enjoying local food, and finding pieces of 'home' in unexpected places."
- Crops Gardener

They are also spaces to teach our children the value of growing their own food, where they can experiment with what they grow and learn family traditions.

Gardens not only help our community members feed themselves, but create spaces for friendship, connection, education, and more. Help ensure these community gardens continue and that we can come closer to our vision of a garden in every neighborhood in Lincoln. 🌱

Support our gardens through Give to Lincoln Day to help this work continue! https://loom.ly/CP9_4Ss

Help Us Grow Culturally Important Produce! 🌱

Our farmers have been hard at work in the greenhouse and fields, preparing for the upcoming season. This year, we’re excited to welcome back 12 returning farmers alongside four new growers joining our community.

One of our farmers, Saeed, has been carefully potting his Iraqi Green Eggplants, an essential crop for the local Yazidi community, with roots in the mountain town of Shingal in northern Iraq. Crops like these reflect the deep cultural connections and traditions our farmers bring to the land.

We’re continually inspired by the diversity of cultures, knowledge, and growing practices within our program and proud to help share that richness with the Lincoln community.

Donate now through May 28 to help us continue growing and diversifying the produce our farmers provide for Lincoln! https://loom.ly/CP9_4Ss
