Anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, reverse diabetes, neuroprotective; lower risk of Alzheimer's, reduce risk of heart disease, reduce cholesterol, skin, eyes. Benefits also include a smaller carbon footprint to produce the nutritional equivalent from farm to table. Suphoraphane an antioxidant known to be antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-aging, anti-diabetic, and neuroprotective  is found in abundance. One ounce of cruciferous microgreens contains the same amount of sulphoraphane found in 1.5 lbs of broccoli. 

Oxidative stress begins with a free radicals that are like little thieves missing electrons and looking to steal them from your healthy cells. Associated with aging, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Antioxidants are molecules that can afford to donate an electron without depletion. 

Polyphenols which are beneficial compounds that support digestion, brain function, blood sugar levels, weight management, fight off cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disease and protect against blood clots.

Conservation is at the top of the list for us at the farm. Saving time, energy and money is something we can all appreciate. 

From planting to delivery, every aspect of this business is about access to nutrient dense food, saving water, using less inputs as well as fossil fuels while bringing a lot of health and flavor.

Our vertical farming strategy creates a huge amount of food on a small footprint.
