Interested in sustainable agriculture? Or are you a Spark-Y supporter, wondering what we’ve been up to? We’ve got your fix! Join us on most Thursday evenings to take a tour of the Urban Ag Lab.
Spark-Y Urban Ag Lab boasts over 1,300 square feet of indoor growing space. The lab features commercial-scale aquaponics systems, as well as mushroom cultivation and vermicomposting. The Urban Ag Lab supports our nonprofit mission of youth empowerment by providing an economic model of sustainability, an innovation lab, and a pathway for youth employment.

ABOUT THE TOUR:
Come learn how Spark-Y is using local, sustainable practices to empower youth while producing food, managing waste, and changing the world!
The tour will focus on our 3 main sustainable systems:
- Aquaponics: Raising fish and plants in a recirculating system
- Mushroom Cultivation: Raising oyster mushrooms indoors year-round
- Vermicompost: A composting system that uses red-wiggler worms to dispose of organic waste, and produce nutrients
