Living Foods: Affordable Nutrition Through Sprouting
Class name:
Living Foods: Affordable Nutrition Through Sprouting
When: May 20th, from 5:30-7PM
Where: Mamitas Homestead, 1545 Cherryvale Rd, Boulder, CO 80303
Class description: Learn how to grow fresh, nutrient-dense food right at home with no garden required. This hands-on workshop introduces simple, low-cost techniques for sprouting and growing microgreens, helping you add healthy, sustainable foods to your daily routine. Sprouting also makes foods easier for the body to digest and helps maximize nutrient absorption, making it one of the most accessible ways to improve everyday nutrition.
Biography: Hi! I'm Karleen. I was raised in Puerto Rico, where fresh produce is often imported, I developed a passion for growing food closer to home. With over 10 years of experience cultivating sprouts and microgreens, I focus on accessible, affordable ways to nourish both people and the land. After working on farms across Colorado, I founded Wild Wiggins Homestead in Eastern Colorado, where I grow pesticide-free, nutrient-dense living foods. I’m excited to share practical skills that make healthy, sustainable eating achievable for everyone.
