What The Sprout Farm
at Langston Hughes CBRC

A Living Classroom

Inside the Langston Hughes Center, our first Grow Well Pilot turns a historic space into a living classroom and community-powered vertical farm.

Growth in Action

This pilot proves how local farming fuels food access, healing, job training, and climate resilience—real change grown from the ground up.

Measurable Impact

Each rack yields 50–200 lb of produce monthly, supporting meal programs, youth training, and therapeutic encounters.

Community Center Partners

We’re currently fine-tuning operations and partnership logistics at our first center. At the same time, we’re actively building relationships with funders and community leaders to identify where we expand next. Each decision is guided by local readiness, alignment of values, and long-term sustainability.

Funding the Pilot, Fueling the Future

We need launch capital to activate and evaluate the Grow Well pilot. Once tested, the model will generate steady revenue through produce sales and value-added products—building a self-sustaining system that supports residents, centers, and community growth long-term.
