Formerly the sprout salesman at Our School at Blair Grocery (OSBG), Cory Ashby, 23, moved his operation to Hammond a little more than a month ago and is replicating the successful OSBG sprout business. Ashby and his collaborators, Sunflower and Jahba Andrews, Bill Hill and Arthur Levine are supplying Restaurant August, Coquette, Le Foret, Emeril’s and other local restaurants with organic sprouts. In a hoop house built for only $80, the team is producing 22 pounds of sprouts per week, which translates to roughly $1,000 in sales. “Right now that money is going towards operating costs,” Ashby says, “but our goal is to use it to start a youth social entrepreneurship program this summer.” In addition to being a successful business model, Ashby sees the opportunities to use his company (Good Food LLC) as an educational tool at every level. By recruiting community youth to participate in the farming process, Good Food teaches them agricultural and entrepreneurial skills not available in school. By tapping into the new small plate culture of high-end New Orleans restaurants, the company also can reach a wealthier cosmopolitan audience with its message of the importance of sustainable agriculture and community development.
