What The Sprout

I’m putting together the team behind a new way of doing food work in Baltimore and beyond.

Four lanes. Real expertise in each.
🌱 Growers who teach
🌱 Mind, mental health & community well-being
🌱 Cooperative business & community economics
🌱 Nutrition

Looking for organizations and independent practitioners with real work in their lane. Long-term partnerships, not freelance gigs. You bring the expertise. Your brand stays yours.
Step 1 — Tell me about your work: https://forms.gle/A5fEX6zcuWmpkgJp7
Step 2 — If we’re a fit, I’ll invite you to a partnership conversation.

If this is you, fill out the form. If you know someone who fits one of these lanes — tag them, send them this post, put us in touch. The team is forming now.

We started small — workshops teaching people to grow food at home. But a workshop ends when the session does. So we started building systems that keep producing long after the class is over.

Now we’re taking the next step. Morgan State’s Morgan CARES program has awarded seed funding to The Grow Collective — our community research pilot in Park Heights, led with Dr. Glenda Lindsey at Morgan State.

🏠 10 households
🥬 2 ways to grow in every home — microgreens inside, containers outside
⛪️ 1 hub: the Langston Hughes Center, where the vertical farms, beds, and 14 fruit trees are already in the ground

Residents shape the model, choose the crops, and own what grows. Because growing food together changes more than what’s on the plate — connection, mental health, safety, the environment, and a community that owns its own food system.

You don’t have to grow to belong. There’s a role here for everyone.

We launch this summer. Link in bio. 🌱
