“We took our Girl Scout Troop to the Micro Farms and had the best time! Nate, Phillip, and the team were so great with the girls - teaching them all about the biz and then helping them plant their very own that we got to take home a week later. They are delish!”

Our Process

We grow a variety of flavorful, fresh, and nutritious microgreens indoors every month to ensure Mesa County communities and surrounding areas have a reliable source of young and tender greens throughout the year.

We start with either organic soil or pure coconut coir medium that is OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) organic, sustainable, and improves water holding capacity compared to soil. Note: 100% of our post-growing byproducts are repurposed into local composting, worm farms, and chicken feed operations.

In the coco coir trays, we add a balanced liquid nutrient solution that contains all 90 naturally occurring mineral elements, boosts nutritional value, and enhances product flavor.

This nutrient solution is applied via daily bottom-tray watering that undergoes a three-stage filtration process utilizing micro sediment membranes, KDF-55, and coconut shell carbon.

After an average germination and growth cycle of 7-10 days, longer for non-standard crops, we harvest each tray and place the crops in either compostable or recyclable containers and promptly refrigerate them to ensure maximum freshness and crisp presentation to the consumer. Our standard of practice is to ensure each product is in the consumer’s hands within 24 hours of harvesting.

Our culture is based on our Air Force experience of Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. With that foundation, we focus on being dependable, consistent, innovative, and responsive to customer feedback.

Our value proposition: We strive to provide next-day freshness of locally-grown microgreens that have short shelf lives and greater nutritional value per ounce than their adult counterparts. We deliver exceptional quality and customer service through attention to every detail and rigorous reliability.

Our vision is to enhance community vitality through innovative microgreens processes and partnerships.

Our mission is providing quality microgreens to increase flavor and nutrition in Western Colorado cuisine while strengthening sustainable agribusiness networks.
