why grow food?

An edible garden is more than just a source of fresh ingredients—it’s an invitation to connect with nature, spend time outdoors, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for where our food comes from. Whether in a backyard, school, or corporate campus, these spaces bring people together, creating beauty, community, and nourishment all at once.

Sproutwell’s founder, Kristen Svorka, started her edible garden as a way to elevate home cooking, but it quickly became something more—a passion for sharing the joy, healing, and empowerment that comes with growing your own food.

Kristen now helps others discover how accessible and rewarding an edible garden can be, no matter their space or experience level.
