Sprout by Design 

​

Sprout by Design is a NYC based, certified minority/women owned company (M/WBE) whose mission is to "Design, Build, Educate, Grow." We work with an eye towards health, sustainability, racial equity,  environmental justice, and economic impact.  Our urban farms produce hundreds of pounds of organic produce each year. We provide this farm-fresh food to thousands of community members completely free of charge. 

​

Sprout by Design builds urban farms, gardens, greenhouses, chicken coops, hydroponic, aquaponic and composting systems for individuals of all ages and abilities. We pair these customized green spaces with fun, hands-on workshops (in person & via zoom). We use nature as a practical tool to teach design-build principles, STEM standards, Farm-to-Table entrepreneurship, and broader concepts like Health & Wellness, racial equity, food justice, environmental stewardship, and job training for opportunities in the emerging green economy. In addition to having great educational and economic impact, these workshops & activities also have calming, developmental, and therapeutic benefits. 

Sprout by Design also provides programming and maintenance for existing gardens, helps community gardeners sell their produce to local restaurants, and leads urban farming workshops for students of all ages (preschool - seniors). Finally, Sprout offers staff training, professional development, family engagement activities, and certificate programs.

​

For a decade, we’ve served schools, community centers, supportive housing, libraries, detention centers, local restaurants, community gardens, special needs organizations, and real estate developers.
