The mission of Asparagus is to promote physical, mental, and spiritual wellness in our community by providing high-quality information, supporting others personally, and equipping people to share wellness skills with others.
In their studies at Weimar University preparing for careers in healthcare, Adam, Draé, and Josh were tasked with finding a way to contribute to society through new research or through engaging with their community. The three decided to launch an organization focused that would promote wellness in the community by creating fresh, engaging online content and connecting personally with people to support their wellness journeys. Voilà, Asparagus Group was born.
Asparagus is a healthful plant food that contains several essential amino acids, a fitting representation of an organization that focuses on wellness. Asparagus is a perennial plant, symbolizing our desire for people's lifelong wellness. Asparagus is also an acronym that represents the nine Core Skills that are the foundation of the Asparagus Labs program.
Our logo is inspired by the tips of an asparagus spear, with four concentric rings composed of nine circles each—for the nine Asparagus Core Skills. The circles are larger toward the center of the logo, representing how supporting each other can augment our wellness journey.
Currently, we have two ongoing projects. Asparagus Labs is an online wellness education program, and The Asparaguys are content creators who share wellness through a variety of social channels.
