Ultra Fresh Goat’s Milk: We met Jennie Grant, founder of the Goat Justice League in Seattle, WA. She fought to legalize keeping goats in backyards across the city and won. Today she has four goats in her backyard and taught us how to milk them…we even got some milk straight from the udder.

“Growing Cities” Movie

By Dan Susman, Director/Producer

Growing Cities is a feature-length documentary film about urban farming across America. It follows me, Dan, and my friend Andrew on our road trip across country learning about Urban Agriculture from city-dwellers who’ve made it their lives. Visiting urban centers from Los Angeles to New Orleans we discover a diverse, grass-roots movement that is building across our country—people growing food in cities to make a living, to learn and to teach, to provide safe and nutritious food for their children, and to build stronger and more vibrant communities.

The film will also track the development of city farming throughout our country’s history and examine the biggest challenges urban farmers face today.

Through our journey we’ll re-imagine what is possible in urban settings and inspire Omahans and all Americans to create growing cities of their own—places that are healthier, more sustainable, and socially just.
