Meet Your Coach
LeTicia was born and raised in the bluegrass state of Kentucky and still resides there. As a child, she remembers doing chores on her grandparents farm, paylake, and family-owned grocery store. As an adult, vegetable and herb gardening has become a passion of hers.
KNOWLEDGE together with APPLICATION is POWER and LeTicia seeks to EMPOWER those of all ages to grow their own food and herbs. Service has always been a responsibility to LeTicia. “It’s important to give, give, give, not just take, take, take. I promise you, when you make a decision to serve, it will come back to you 10 fold! You will live better, treat people better, do better, feel better, and grow as a person. I have! ”
​
LeTicia graduated in 2008 from the University of Louisville with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a concentration in Social Sciences. Then went on to complete graduate school at her alma mater in 2011 with a Master of Science in Social Work from the Kent School.
Where we grow
Bearfruit & Grow farms vegetables and herbs on less than a quarter acre of land in Southwest Louisville, Kentucky. We grow everything using natural methods, using non-GMO seeds.
​
We grow food in the ground, raised beds, all sorts of containers, indoors and our nursery propagation greenhouse! These crops are a staple on the farm because we love growing them and they are yummy!
​
Okra, tomatoes, beans, carrots, microgreens, collards, mustards, lettuce, onions, peppers, flowers (yes, flowers are yummy too!), herbs (i.e. rosemary, parsley, mint, cilantro, basil, sage).
