Our Beginning
Our founder has traveled around the world and
“Refocusing the United States’ priorities, reimagining its culture, starts by experiencing the rest of the world.”
— CHAD EDMONDS, FOUNDER
Shabazz had to extend the garden to her front lawn but even then, it wasn’t enough to feed all who wanted to be involved. With neighbors January Blum and Lucas Dupont, Shabazz found a large vacant lot on Main Street and secured it as a farming cooperative. Word about Project Sprout spread throughout Kent County, so the team was invited to help start other community gardens.
Our Mission
Every United States’ citizen needs to become familiar with at least one differing culture in our world, they must see and experience different cultures with their own senses.

Gutsy Nomad’s goal of U.S. citizens holding valid passports
With ten gardens and counting, Project Sprout has seen a significant improvement in mental and physical health for all participating community members. Other than lowering obesity, blood pressure, and depression rates, the crime rate has also fallen. Our children are doing better in school, reporting higher grades and aspirations, and better job prospects.
