DevaSprouts Farm, Little Rock, AR
Brandi Roberts is the founder of DevaSprouts Farm in Little Rock, Arkansas, combining her background in public health with community gardening experience to address food insecurity through urban agriculture. Specializing in locally adapted seedlings and starter plants, DevaSprouts is committed to sustainable practices, producing a variety of fruits, vegetables, and culinary herbs.
Brandi’s passion extends beyond farming to education and community engagement. She offers workshops teaching families and youth the joys of growing food, envisioning DevaSprouts as a model for urban farming and a hub for nutrition education and youth empowerment.
Brandi’s work is guided by the African proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” This wisdom embodies DevaSprouts’ mission of building a stronger, healthier community through collaborative urban agriculture.
Plans include expanding greenhouse facilities and irrigation systems to increase year-round production. A portion of the farm’s proceeds supports educational programs for local youth, nurturing the next generation of urban farmers and community leaders.
