GAMECHANGER DOMINIC NELL

Farmer, founder, City Weeds

- Ron Cassie

A LONGTIME YOUTH counselor and photographer, Dominic Nell founded City Weeds after learning how to grow microgreens several years ago through the local City Seeds catering project. His budding agricultural business makes healthy options available in Baltimore’s food deserts through markets, pop-ups, and online orders, while his social impact wing, Be More Green, promotes youth empowerment. This fall, Nell opens his own brick-and-mortar grocery and community hub at the corner of North Pulaski and West North Avenue in the heart of West Baltimore.
