About Us
Sprouting Roots Farm is a small farm in Loudoun County, VA. We grow highly nutritious vegetables, flowers and herbs for local families and restaurants.
Our Mission
Sprouting Roots Farm is a family’s dream to go back to the roots. We want to re-establish and leave a lasting farming legacy for our family. We are putting our heart and soul into it and hoping our work will inspire more people to take a step towards reclaiming the soil and eventually increase more small regenerative farms.
At Sprouting Roots Farm, while growing food, we are also focussing on rebuilding healthy and living soil by making the best use of nature’s resources.
What we grow
We grow seasonal Indian ethnic vegetables, greens, herbs, and much more. It has always been a struggle to find Asian vegetables in their freshest form after moving away from home. We started growing food in our small backyards about eight years ago and made every possible mistake that we can make, and we learned many lessons through our journey. As we mastered the techniques to grow our favorite vegetables, we want to use that experience in increasing the availability of locally grown Asian vegetables.

Where we grow
We started our farm in 2021 on leased land at Fabiolli Cellars in Loudoun County, Virginia, and will be setting up our little farm on our own land in future.
We are sticking with a small farm so that each plant that grows on our farm gets personal attention, from the selection of seed to the stage where the food gets into our customer’s hands.
Our Team
Vishali Konatham
I grew up in a family with strong farming roots. I moved away from my parents for higher education and landed my dream job later on. I have been working in the corporate world for more than 15 years, but I always wanted to do something related to my roots. I am one of the first generations in my family who got disconnected from farming to another profession. I didn’t want to grow too far away from my roots, and if I don’t take a step back right now I may never be able to bring those values and memories back into our family. Sprouting Roots Farm is my first step towards the goal to bring my family back to the roots.

I am a working mother who juggles between my hectic work and everyday duties. I started growing vegetables in my garden, which turned into my passion. Every single vegetable I grew gave me a sense of accomplishment. Year over year, my experience grew in farming and so is my backyard. From planting to harvesting, I appreciated each phase. We started relishing the food we make from home-grown vegetables. Fresh, Healthy, and tasty what else do we want! I also love the fact that the experience I got from my mother is being passed on to my daughter. Over the years, our previous generations have sold farms and relocated to cities. With them, we moved away from nature and landed in a busy world with hectic workloads. I believe it is time to return to the roots and close the gap between nature and our lives. This is my first step towards my goal.
