Hello!

No coffee this time (let’s be real, it’s a bit late for that! ), but feel free to bring your own. Hot water & tea selections will be available if you'd like to steep a warm cuppa while we chat...season plans for your farm, ideas for a farm tour, the weather, or whatever suits you.

Come unwind, share stories, and connect with fellow growers. See you there!

Milkweed Event space is holding their Annual Seed Swap from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm at Milkweed Event Space, 6220 Havelock Ave, Suite 1, Lincoln, NE.

Annual Conference 2025, 1/31-2/1:

Over 200 of us gathered in Nebraska City—connecting, learning, and sharing stories. A fantastic experience for building sustainable communities!

Note from a presenter and first time attendee:

"Thank you for inviting me to the conference. It was a great experience, and I look forward to attending more of NSAS events. What a great group of people who are trailblazers and innovators- I missed too many good sessions on Friday because I was out in the hallway having conversations! That is good too, but I'll try to manage my time better! ha!

I was unable to attend on Saturday, but Friday was enough for me to know the value of the community of NSAS."

Who We Are

Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society (NSAS) is a nonprofit, grassroots membership organization. Initiated over 40 years ago by farmer members, NSAS has grown into a dynamic organization with members from across Nebraska. We welcome farmers, eaters, supporters of local food and everyone with an interest in our lands and communities.

Mission

Promoting agriculture and food systems that build HEALTHY LAND, PEOPLE, COMMUNITIES, and QUALITY OF LIFE for present and future generations.

Vision

We recognize that there is a strong relationship between a healthy local agriculture ecosystem and a strong local food system. That relationship requires that much of the food consumed is grown and processed locally. This adds quality and security as well as social and ecological responsibility to the community diet. It is this understanding that motivates NSAS’s work to strengthen and enhance these systems together. Our work is across Nebraska in all communities and settings to expand this system for the benefit of local agriculture and local residents.

Work

NSAS is active in collaborative projects that support rural communities and the environment. These projects offer mentoring opportunities for beginning and experienced farmers, and opportunities for on-farm research, demonstration, and education. We offer opportunities for non-farmers to participate in a food system and to network with sustainable Nebraska farmers, attend workshops, and link with all our projects! Each year, NSAS sponsors an Annual Conference, workshops, farm tours, and field days.
