Through a partnership with Babylon Micro-Farms and Dominion Energy, we’re piloting a three-year hydroponic farming project.
Apprentices learn and manage our hydroponic unit’s cloud-based technology, planting schedules, and cultivation of micro greens, lettuces, and herbs.
Find our produce featured in cafe specials, community fridges, and collaborations with local chefs!
In 2022, we were honored to work with filmmakers Christy and Derrick Collins from Grant Company, who chronicled the journey of our first apprentice cohort. The mini-documentary above follows their story as they grew, managed, and marketed produce. (Rise Cafe was formerly called Front Porch Cafe.)
