Plant Alliance

A nonprofit organization

PLANT Alliance (which stands for "Promoting Local Agriculture and Nourishing Traditions") educates and empowers people to access fresh, locally grown and locally prepared foods. We foster connections between producers and consumers, increase access to nutritious local foods, and advocate for sustainable growing practices. 

Our primary means of doing this is through managing the Beatrice Farmers Market, which is in its 29th year of connecting local farmers/bakers/makers with the community. 

This year's project is raising funds to expand our educational programming and outreach at the Beatrice Farmers Market. 

We offer a children's program called POP (Power of Produce) Club, in which children can participate in a free educational activity each week and then receive $3 in POP currency to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables from market vendors. 

We also offer a nutrition education program where market visitors can try free samples of a recipe made with in-season local produce. They can take home a recipe card with nutrition information to make it themselves with produce available at the farmers market.
