General Information:
Microgreens are tiny, nutrient-dense greens that pack a punch far beyond their size. These miniature versions of familiar vegetables and herbs are harvested at an early stage of growth, just after the first true leaves appear. Despite their small stature, microgreens are bursting with flavor and boast an impressive array of health benefits. They are superfoods and their vitamin and antioxidant levels are up to 40x higher than mature greens. They are richer in macro minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium as well as micro minerals such as iron, zinc, and copper
Sort of, but not quite! Sprouts are usually grown in water and harvested around 3-5 days after germination. They are the first stage of growth before microgreens and possess a milder flavor. Microgreens are typically harvested around 7-14 days and possess intense flavors. Microgreens are typically more nutritious than sprouts and have more fiber content, too.
We pride ourselves on having one of the most diverse selections of greens in the area to choose from. We can grow more conventional greens such as Rambo radish, kale, cabbage, and sunflowers or more specialty varieties such as amaranth, carrots, and cilantro. Feel free to contact us for more info. If there is something you do not see, we are happy to try out some new stuff and add it to our arsenal of microgreens!

Health and Safety:
We have strict cleanliness policies to protect against contamination. We run a multi system HEPA air
purifier 24/7 that purifies with UV-C Light and Ionizer packs. All of our trays are washed and sprayed
with disinfectant after each grow. Our building is designated solely for microgreens and is
temperature regulated. The entrance has anti-insect PVC strip curtains infused with citronella to
reduce pests and help insulate. We also have bug strips inside the unit to further prevent those
pests that do get in.
