At Thrive from the Ground Up, we don’t just teach people how to grow food — we help them reclaim power, rebuild traditions, and plant the seeds of long-term change.
Rooted in community and culture, our urban homesteading program equips individuals and families with the tools to live more sustainably, nourish their neighborhoods, and lead with purpose — whether they have a backyard, a balcony, or just a few containers.
Through seasonal workshops, mentorship, and real-world experience, we grow confidence, connection, and the skills to thrive — from the ground up.
Urban gardening and homesteading have deep roots in survival and resilience. After slavery, Black families grew food to reclaim self-sufficiency. During the Great Depression and WWII, gardens fed entire communities through hard times — from backyards to Victory Gardens. Today, with food deserts and rising costs, we return to these traditions to restore access, power, and community. Thrive from the Ground Up carries this legacy forward — teaching people to grow, lead, and thrive right where they are.
Thrive from the Ground Up is an urban homestead program powered by Speak Into The Light Urban Farm. Each year, we welcome 10 dedicated Homestead Ambassadors who lead by example in their communities. Our team also includes contracted industry experts who teach monthly hands-on workshops in gardening, livestock care, food preservation, and sustainable living — guiding participants every step of the way from setup to harvest.
Our journey began in 1998, when a group of farmers came together with a vision to revolutionize the agriculture industry. Since then, we have grown to become one of the leading providers of organic and sustainable produce in the region.
At Thrive From The Ground Up, we believe that the health of the soil, the health of the plants, and the health of the people are all interconnected. That's why we are committed to using only natural and organic methods to grow our produce, and to promoting healthy eating and living habits to our customers.
Our team is made up of experienced and passionate individuals who share a common goal: to provide the highest quality produce while minimizing our impact on the environment. We are dedicated to continuous learning and improvement, and strive to stay at the forefront of sustainable agriculture practices.
At Thrive From The Ground Up, we are committed to promoting sustainability, transparency, and social responsibility in everything we do. We believe that by working together with our customers, partners, and communities, we can create a better future for all.
