Fresh + Local Right Now
Fresh produce is pickup only at our Omaha shop. Most everything else in the catalog ships. Look for the symbol on items that are also pickup only.
We source from small local farms that grow without sprays whenever possible, and only bring in produce in its true season (with some exceptions). The center of gravity is what’s growing within a few hours of Omaha.

- true-season only
- plastic-free (no clamshells)
Soon you’ll also be able to explore our produce calendar, built from 7 years of ordering history, to see what tends to be in season and when.

What Customers Say
“I love this place… truly worth supporting in every facet.”
“I once with my very own eyes saw the majestic delight of a bumblebee drunk on pollen passed out in one of their flowers on their patio in the summertime! A delightful place. The staff are authentically kind and do a good job of being knowledgeable and helpful without making you feel like they're pandering to you or supervising you browse as can be the case in other close quarters shops.”
“One of my all time favorite stores. From fresh produce and herbs to bulk dried goods and household soaps/cleaners, exist green helps my household become more toxic and plastic free.”
“The employees are so friendly and helpful. I stumbled upon this shop by accident and am so glad I did. If you are interested in getting away from toxic chemicals in products and food: They have makeup, laundry detergent, lotions, cleaning products, handmade teas (the teas are wonderful) and spices, even handmade paints. Bring glass containers to use or donate to the cause […] Highly recommend this shop.”
“I really should have left a review for this essential haven SO long ago […] this place is what I have needed and what everyone needs in their communities!! Don't let the quaint space mislead you for judging the variety of products they carry, because she has a HUGE SELECTION […] every time I've needed a somewhat rare herb, bark, extract or what have you… they have it! […] Keep your planet, your home and your family healthy and sustainable with a low waste approach.”
Meet the Founder
Leigh Neary spent more than a decade as an environmental engineer cleaning up contaminated soil and groundwater. Exist Green grew from a simple question: what if we changed the system earlier, before the waste, packaging, and exposure were built in?
