Transylvania University graduate Ryan Sipes launched a microgreens operation after interning as a student at a nonprofit that brings fresh food to the local community \u2014 it\u2019s a path that shows how connections forged at the school can help after graduation in unconventional ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While interning at FoodChain<\/a>, Sipes performed a variety of roles, including writing grants, staffing event tables, serving in a food sector job training program \u2014 and working on a farm, where he\u2019d help seed and harvest plants and package microgreens (nutritional seedlings) for the clients. The skills he gained while at the internship helped him create and grow his own business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was always interested in agriculture, so that was great,\u201d said Sipes, who was featured in a Business Lexington article<\/a>. \u201cI love what they do for the community, providing access to good, quality food for people in a food desert, providing food to people who otherwise don\u2019t have it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduating from Transylvania in 2017 with a degree in philosophy, politics, and economics, Sipes worked as a teller at a credit union. While there, he began reflecting on what he had learned during his time at Transy, specifically in his philosophy courses. \u201cOne of the basic questions of philosophy is: \u2018What does it mean to be happy?\u2019\u2019\u2019 Sipes said. \u201cI realized I don\u2019t want to work a 9-5 being unhappy all the time. I wanted to start my own business doing something way more fulfilling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organizational skills he gained in college also helped with the desk work side of running his agriculture business, Simply Seedlings. As a small business owner, he is doing a lot of the work independently, with the help of his girlfriend. So keeping track of everything needed for accounting, taxes and insurance is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI definitely feel like my time at Transy and the internship not only helped me decide to create my business but led me to do so, and I don\u2019t think I\u2019d be doing this if it wasn\u2019t for that,\u201d Sipes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
