Locally grown

Our work with Live Well Omaha has introduced us to a lot of exciting new plans for our city — one of which is happening right under our noses at Emspace.

Donna Welchert, our production manager-designer-IT whiz and general fixer is also a produce farmer who, along with her husband Ed, is on the front line of Omaha’s growing new farm-to-school program.

Welchert Farms is currently providing fresh vegetables to Westside Community Schools, which has introduced quiche, falafel and a variety of other new healthier options to the elementary school menus. Westside is working toward sustainability by partnering with local growers so that students can understand their connection with our food chain.

My son and his friends have personally endorsed Monday’s roasted zucchini and are looking forward to zucchini sticks and watermelon next week.
