Vendor Spotlight
Arizona Sprouthouse
Meet our vendor, Diana Elbirt Diana operates Arizona Sprouthouse within the city of Tucson in the eastern foothills adjacent to Saguaro National Park, and specializes in providing microgreens, shoots, sprouts, and wheatgrass to the many local farmers' markets.The aim of this small outfit has been to provide the community with nutritionally dense food, grown with sustainable practices, at a reasonable cost to customers. Diana arrived in Tucson two and half years ago, and like many other residents, was enchanted by Tucson's diverse and lush desert. She began sprouting a year and half ago, and appreciates the growing itself, as well as the dynamic between growers and our supporters at the markets. Coming to the markets is more than just selling food, it is really a place to connect with Southern Arizona's residents and visitors. Arizona Sprouthouse continues to expand and innovate. Diana Fully knows that food is a blessing and a celebration and she is grateful to be a source of nourishment for the farmers' market shoppers. You can find Diana at all four of the Tucson Farmers' markets. |
