Laying the groundwork for sustainable farm businesses |
Sprouting Farms is a four-season non-profit farm and education and resource center located in Summers County, WV. By combining education, resource sharing, land access, and food production, we seek to develop new and existing farm businesses and increase local food production in the New and Greenbrier River Valleys.
Our programs provide farmers with sound business management and production skills, hands-on apprenticeship and mentorship, and the land and resources necessary to launch and refine their farm businesses. |
Enhancing local food systems in Appalachia |
We believe that long-lasting impact is created by training new farmers in quality and sustainable production techniques, and by providing shared resources and educational opportunities to the whole farm community.
