About Adam

Adam Brock is a Denver-based facilitator, entrepreneur and designer. His work lies at the intersection of urban agriculture, sustainable business, and social change.

As co-founder and co-director of The GrowHaus, Adam helped transform an abandoned half-acre greenhouse into an award-winning hub for healthy food and urban agriculture. The GrowHaus, located in Colorado's most polluted zip code, now engages thousands of low-income residents per year, grows 1500 heads of lettuce per week, and has an annual budget of over $1 million.

A certified permaculture designer since 2008, Adam is active in both the local and national permaculture communities. He is one of the lead instructors for the Denver Permaculture Design Course and co-founded the Denver Permaculture Guild, one of the most active local guilds in the US. At the national scale, he served on the organizing committee of the inaugural North American Permaculture Convergence, as well as a contributor and guest editor of Permaculture Design Magazine (formerly Permaculture Activist).

Adam is a former co-chair of Denver’s Sustainable Food Policy Council, a TEDxMileHigh speaker, and has been named one of "Colorado's Top Thinkers" by the Denver Post. From 2015-2019, Adam was a strategic planning and social enterprise consultant for Joining Vision and Action, and he currently serves as Western Program Director at the National Young Farmers Coalition.
