Roots to Growth
Where Community, Nutrition, and Maternal Wellness Meet
Roots to Growth strengthens maternal and family health by integrating community support, evidence-based education, culturally centered nutrition, and innovative technology to improve pregnancy outcomes and advance equitable care across the nation.
🌿About
Who We Are
Founded in 2023, Roots to Growth began by creating pathways in agriculture, culinary arts, and nutrition for youth and emerging farmers across North Carolina. As our work grew, so did our understanding of the deep connection between food, land, and the health of mothers and families.
Today, Roots to Growth has evolved into a national maternal wellness and family health hub, expanding our programs to support pregnancy, postpartum, nutrition, and community healing- while continuing to uplift youth and families through food, agriculture, and storytelling.
Our Mission
Roots to Growth strengthens maternal and family health by integrating community support, evidence-based education, culturally centered nutrition, and innovative technology to improve pregnancy outcomes and advance equitable care across the nation.
Our Vision
We imagine a world where every women of color has the support, education, and community she needs for a safe pregnancy, a healthy family, and a thriving future - and where young people grow up connected to land, culture, nourishment, and each other.
🌿Programs
Our Programs
Three interconnected pathways that nourish, support, and empower mothers, families, and communities.
Soul House & Gardens: Center for Maternal & Family Wellness
Soul House & Gardens is our flagship maternal wellness hub, providing families with evidence-based education, nutrition support, prenatal and postpartum resources, and compassionate community care.
Through classes, workshops, wellness circles, and family-centered programs, we walk alongside mothers from pregnancy through postpartum- helping them feel informed, supported, and empowered.
Sprouts & Spice Academy
Sprouts & Spice offers hands-on food, nutrition, and agriculture programs for youth and families. What began as a pathway for young people has grown into a holistic “food-as-medicine” experience that helps families grow, cook, and nourish themselves with intention.
Our workshops teach everything from gardening basics to healing recipes, making nutrition accessible for pregnant women, new mothers, and children alike.
Soulful Seeds Podcast
Soulful Seeds is our storytelling platform documenting the experiences of mothers, families, birth workers, farmers, and community leaders who are shaping the future of wellness and nourishment.
Through interviews, birth stories, cultural conversations, and food-centered wisdom, Soulful Seeds uplifts voices rarely heard- sparking healing, education, and deeper community connection.
