Raise The Roots at The Waiting Room

Raise the Roots hosts quarterly events to nurture conversation and build community around sustainability initiatives in the Omaha area. While celebrating with live music, local bites and multi-media experiences, Raise the Roots audiences learn about local food, clean energy, and other sustainable initiatives in our region.

The January 18th event is friendly for all ages, featuring onsite dining options from local chef Colin Duggan of Kitchen Table, hands-on kids’ activities, guest speakers, and live music from Matt Cronin and Pancho and the Contraband. A number of community organizations will host information booths, including the Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society, Big Muddy Urban Farm, Omaha Biofuels COOP, the Nebraska Food COOP and others. Tickets are $7, free for children under 12. Proceeds benefit the Nebraska Farmers Union.
