Community Crops is Lincoln's 501c3 Urban Gardening and Farming organization. It has sustained 15 years of steady growth, now with 10 urban gardens serving over 1000 family gardeners, most immigrants or refugees, and 80% below the low-income level. They also have an urban training farm at 112th and Adams St. It is at the forefront of the agricultural sustainability movement in Nebraska, a concern that all can join in support for future generations. David Grabarkewitz, Community Crops Executive Director is our speaker on April 16th. Read more about the speaker here.
