People make the world go ‘round. And agriculture sustains us all. Good, warm company helped packed freshly harvested Microgreens at What The Sprout’s Grow Well Vertical Farm. The greens were distributed to final food pantry for 2025. 👏🏾 More to come on the day later 😉.

We’re growing nutrient-dense microgreens at our Grow Well Vertical Farm for final food pantry of 2025 next Friday — and reminding neighbors that What The Sprout? is here to help them grow their own food, too.

Grateful to be rooted at a dedicated community resilience hub with strong relationships across institutions that truly care about making a difference.

Big thanks to and their Office of Civic Engagement & Social Responsibility. Their civic engagement students helped sow the seeds we’ll harvest and share with the community next week.

Doing good feels great — doing it with your hands in the dirt feels even better.

If your company, school, or organization wants to get involved — volunteering, learning, or partnering with us — we’d love to grow together. Reach out and let’s plant something meaningful.

We've been selected to receive a $20,000 grant to help our hashtag grow!

And I put that support to work right away.

This funding helped me restructure how we show up, refine our services, and make sure our work truly meets the needs of the community. It also allowed me to strengthen our marketing and expand our network — which opened the door to one of our biggest milestones yet: partnering with the and launching the What The Sprout? Grow Well Vertical Farm. https://lnkd.in/eqNTQSr3

This grant didn’t just boost the business… it amplified the mission.

We’re excited to use this grant to keep growing What The Sprout!
Thank you to Hello Alice, MyBGE, and for energizing my dreams!

Most people depend on food systems that can break overnight.

But when you learn to grow, even a little, you create a level of food security that no system can hand you — or take from you.

Food security looks different depending on where you live.
Some neighborhoods have grocery stores on every corner.
Others have none.
Some rely on farmers markets or pantries.
Some rely on neighbors.

But one resource every household can build — no matter what the system is doing — is the skill to grow something.

I put together the Top 5 Food System Resources every family should stack for real food security. Swipe through and think about which ones you already have… and which ones you can strengthen. https://baltimoretimes-online.com/news/2025/11/11/baltimores-first-grow-well-vertical-farm-launches-at-langston-hughes-community-business-resource-center/

Coming mid-November: Baltimore’s first Grow Well Hub by What The Sprout is taking root inside the Langston Hughes Community, Business & Resource Center. 🌱

Created by What The Sprout, the Hub is a new vertical-farm education space where residents will learn how to grow microgreens, herbs, and vegetables indoors year-round.
Workshops will connect food cultivation to wellness and workforce opportunity — turning an unused classroom into a hands-on lab for community health and healing.

The Hub will grow food and medicine — two essentials many say have been under attack.
Even with SNAP benefits reinstated, grocery prices continue to rise, keeping access to fresh, affordable food out of reach for many families.

“I see Baltimore becoming the first city where people can get their groceries from each other’s backyards,” said founder Quandra Gray. “That’s what freedom looks like.”

The Grow Well Vertical Farm by What The Sprout officially opens mid-November at the Langston Hughes Center in Park Heights.
