Big Muddy Urban Farm

Big Muddy Urban Farm We are dedicated to making sustainable and urban agriculture education accessible to all through sharing skills, resources, and community with neighbors.

Big Muddy Urban Farm is a collective of local food producers in Omaha. We are concerned with the current state of the food system at large. Moreover, we recognize the social and environmental injustices that have negatively impacted our neighborhoods and believe that food plays a prominent role in the overall health of our community. By providing a local
and diverse source of fruits, vegetables an

d herbs, as well as sharing skills and resources with our community, we hope to encourage communal resilience, empowerment, and a more localized economy. We are committed to engaging sustainably in our financial, environmental and cultural practices, by responding and adapting to the dynamic urban
environment in which we live.

Highlights from our Container and Small Space Gardening workshop this week, part of our Educating Tomorrows Urban Farmers series! Here to prove that not having a large yard/growing space doesn’t mean you can’t grow food and flowers!

Hey! Have you checked out the (nearly) full schedule of summer workshops we're putting on? They're all free, you'll leave with some incredible information, and we'll bring the snacks.

Some offices have “summer Fridays”, where employees are encouraged to take off early on Fridays during the summer. We’re flipping that around and asking, “What if you went into work late during the summer months?” Sure, you might have some dirt under the fingernails (we do have gloves), but imagine the sense of accomplishment! All the benefits of hitting the gym before work, but we guarantee we’ll have better music.

Join the BMUF crew most Fridays during the summer months for a laid-back, casual morning of farm work, coffee, and community building! We’ll meet at the Big Muddy office (3322 Burt St) and plant, harvest, w**d, wash, and pack produce at our urban farm site across the street. Coffee at 9, farm work till 11! We’ll keep you posted if we’re cancelling due to weather or other reasons.

Liability waiver required to participate; we’ll have them waiting for you!
