Why eat microgreens?
Microgreens are a true SUPERFOOD packed with vitamins and minerals, offering what many supplements cannot - nutrients that are bioavailable providing us with true health and vitality in every single bite.
Research is providing the world with amazing results to show that microgreens contain far more nutrients than their mature counterparts. All of the nutrients contained in a single handful of cabbage microgreens, for example, would require us to eat the entire head of cabbage to receive the same nutrients. Because microgreens are consumed immediately after germination, these little cotyledons (first leaves/microgreens) contain ALL of the nutrients that are needed for these young plants to become the fully mature counterpart!
It doesn’t get better than raw, living microgreens!

What we deliver and why
We have done our research - And of all the glorious varieties of microgreens available in the world, broccoli and cabbage are the true champions when it comes to nutrient density. Coincidentally, they both have very mild flavors that are palatable to all ages. This is important for two reasons - First, we actually want every family member to eat the greens, so flavor is incredibly important. Second, we all use microgreens in a multitude of ways from salads, to sandwiches, to smoothies, to garnishing,
to snacking on - so the mild flavor of these varieties makes them incredibly versatile.
You will receive broccoli microgreens each delivery.
If on occasion, you have a special dinner or are simply intrigued with other varietals that you know we grow for our restaurant services, please just ask! We will be happy to accommodate your requests! For those that prefer spicy varieties for your regular delivery, we will have arugula, mustard and radish micros on hand for you.

Details
$20 per microgreen delivery. You will receive a 10”x20” living flat.*
This will be a HUGE savings if you are used to buying pre-cut microgreens in grocery stores.
You may sign up for weekly, bi-weekly, or once-a-month deliveries.
We highly recommend weekly deliveries for households with 2+ individuals
We deliver on Tuesdays and will leave your microgreens at your door.
Protection from the elements is a must for deliveries, specifically when it is raining,
windy, or very hot outside. We’ll leave them somewhere safe if we notice the front door
location won’t be ideal that day.
We recommend you consume a minimum of 1 handful, per person, per day.
Microgreens are NOT A GARNISH - We repeat, NOT a garnish! While restaurants may finesse their plates with tiny amounts of microgreens, household consumption is a totally different ball game. A household of two should wipe out a flat of greens within 5 days when they are at their peak. After 5 days they may look (and even smell) a little done. They are perfectly fine to eat, but at a certain point your microgreens will be hoping you are going to transplant them into a bigger pot of soil so they can grow into full heads of broccoli. Best to enjoy them in their youthful prime for maximum nutrient density.
Please recycle your used microgreen trays back to us! We will clean and reuse every tray.
You do not need to clean them or even remove the soil - unless it’s convenient to feed to your chickens or dump onto your compost pile. Leave the trays on your porch and
we will swoop them up on your next delivery.
*By ”living flat” we mean that the microgreens will still be growing in the tray of soil they were sown in, so that you can cut exactly how much you need at that moment. Pre-cut microgreens are exceptionally perishable, expensive, and often wasted because they wilt so quickly. You will never have this problem.
