Our newsletter provides information about what's fresh, new culinary ideas, activity on the farm, new varieties and the incredible nutritional content of our microgreens.
Microgreens have only been around for a short while and we know you want to get the best value.
Your customers deserve fresh and flavorful. Here's what you need to know.
Use them on every meal. Breakfast, lunch and dinner plates. Even as a healthier snack in between meals. Sunflowers are one of the most popular munching microgreens. Have a bowl of fresh sunflowers instead of popcorn while watching movies.
A lettuce alternative with much more nutrition. Sandwiches, salads, tacos, wraps, hot and cold dishes.
Soups, Phö, or any noodle bowl or hot pot.
Create cold sauces like pesto and chimichurri.
Microgreens should be purchased when freshly harvested. As a local farm we give you this opportunity to have a product that isn't transported from any distance and held in storage.
This assures that the nutrient levels have not been diminished. That you are receiving the total benefit of the antioxidants, vitamins and minerals along with the bioactive compounds, polyphenols and sensory qualities like texture, flavor, aroma and color.
Microgreens are considered to be superfoods and are very low in calories.
Scientific data has demonstrated that microgreens:
The list goes on because of the exponentially greater levels of
vitamins, mineral, antioxidants and bioactive compounds in these conveniently sized plants.
Microgreens are even used in spa treatments like facials and body wraps.
Free radicals are a byproduct of turning food into energy. Capable of damaging cells and altering DNA. Can cause bad cholesterol (LDL) to lodge in artery walls.
Excessive amounts cause oxidative stress brought on by a bad diet, alcohol and drug consumption, air pollution, radiation exposure from traveling, and exposure to pesticides and other chemicals.
We grow popular and specialty varieties of microgreens.
Sunflower, Pea Shoots, Spicy Daikon Radish, Red Acre Cabbage, Mustards, Broccoli, Salad Mix.
Amaranth, Leeks, Arugula and Cilantro.
Go ahead and contact us if you have a favorite we aren’t growing at the moment.
It takes at least a week to order them and only eight to ten days to grow most varieties.
Some varieties like cilantro and sorrel take longer.
We should always take full advantage of our free time.
Not always out shopping for semi-fresh produce with vastly diminished nutritional value which is what you are getting at most grocery stores.
Our delivery service will bring you freshly harvested microgreens on a regular basis allowing you to spend more time in the moment. More time on your recipe. More time relaxing safe at home.
