About Us

Growing up in the Midwest, we were oblivious to what nature or the natural world had to offer.  It wasn’t until much later in life, through our own medical issues and simply wanting to find a more natural way to live and/or treat ailments that we had acquired over time or to prevent if possible.  We dove head first into learning everything we could and were amazed at how affective what nature provides us truly is!  I guess you could say we were awakened in 2018 and haven’t looked back since.

We both work in the medical field and have for the past 24 years.  Modern medicine can be very affective and is wonderful when necessary.  It also has its downsides.  Without being able to find the root cause before prescribing a medication, and then that medication treating one issue only to cause many others and/or requiring the use of more medication becomes two very important issues in our opinion.  We are not against modern medicine at all and know it is needed in today’s world.  We do feel that prevention and treating small issues by natural means creates a healthier you.  That has the power to prevent bigger issues in the future and can even help reverse ongoing chronic issues.

In 2018, while Amy began learning to become a certified herbalist, I dove into every possible learning stream I could.  I read books and watched endless YouTube, trying to learn from those that had already begun down the natural/grow your own food/organic means/urban farming path.  We have both learned so much since then and continue to learn!  

In 2020, we decided to start Urban Abundance here in Omaha, NE.  We not only wanted to grow our own food by organic practices, but we wanted to help others down that path also.  We sell  teas, tinctures, lotions, salves and so much more.  We can help with setting up a food forest or garden, build customized raised beds or help with building rabbit hutches.  We want others to know how to use what Mother Nature gave us and be able to benefit from that in every aspect.  

Four years later, Amy has her Herbalist certificate in hand and I have the knowledge of growing and building everything from the ground up.  We are learning from our successes and failures equally and we still have so much to learn!  Helping others across the US and in the Bahamas with sinus, allergy and upper respiratory issues, has been a humbling and amazing experience!  It has helped us realize that we are heading in the right direction.  Nothing would make us more proud than to have others join us on this journey for themselves!

Going forward, our goal is to help change the perception of what a “yard” is for.  We’d love to see more people use their yard to benefit themselves and those around them.  Even though we aren’t in the country, a pot(s), a small/medium/large yard or even a kiddie pool can turn your empty space into an Urban Abundance.

Let’s start this journey!
