Who is Sprout Tasmania?
Sprout Tasmania is a not-for-profit that is volunteer supported. We strive to change the conversation about local food systems and support local producers to grow and farm ethically and sustainably for their community & the environment.
We have one passion, one purpose –
‘Growing good’
We are Tasmania’s only grassroots group helping aspiring farmers turn their ideas into thriving, sustainable small businesses. Since commencing in 2011, Sprout has supported the success of a wide variety of entrepreneurs, from all walks of life and all over the state.
Our programs are practical, useful and successful and offers real-world learning, networking and growth opportunities. Backed by a wealth of expertise, Sprout’s board of directors and many volunteer supporters, we provide a year-round calendar of events for small producers and growers to connect, learn and grow.
