Who is Sprout Tasmania?
Sprout Tasmania is a not-for-profit that supports small-scale farmers to farm ethically and sustainably for their community & the environment.
Since commencing in 2011, Sprout has supported the success of a wide variety of farmers, from all walks of life and all over the state. Our vision is of a strong network of
well-resourced and productive small-scale farmers, who are recognised for the role they play in a fair, resilient food and farming system, where communities thrive and landscapes are regenerated.
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.
