Our • Process
For the HEALTH of it
We Have One Goal
To Provide The Highest Quality Organic Products and Services
and here's how we do it!
our environment
Growing just about anything outdoors is always going to be a little less “stable” than growing in an indoor growing environment— varying temperatures, soil moisture fluctuations, etc. Therefore, all our greens (pinks and purples, too) are grown indoors in a controlled environment, meaning they are available to the community year-round. We specialize in vertical gardening (think growing up, not out). This saves space, water, and our backs!
our seeds
Only non-GMO and certified organic seeds make it to our urban farm. Organic – When seeds are organic, that means that they have not been exposed to irradiation, synthetic substances, or pesticides. Non-GMO – GMO stands for “genetically modified organism.” When you see seeds labeled as non-GMO, it usually means that the genetic makeup of the seeds has not been altered. Non-GMO seeds don’t rely on altering something at the genetic level to increase yield or make plants more resistant to fertilizers.
our soil
Only certified organic soil and OMRI listed amendments are allowed in our growing operation. OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) certified organic soil is better! The minerals, fertilizers, and soils we use have all been subjected to rigorous OMRI oversight, giving us the assurance they consist of only the finest organic materials. This means we get superior results in the microgreens we grow for you, our valued customer.
our water
We use only pH-balanced well water. A lot has been said about the health benefits of pH-balanced water. Every living being thrives on its life-giving properties. What is true of humans and animals also applies to plants. Indeed, not only is pH-balanced water suitable for drinking, but it is also great for watering our green friends. Among its advantages are superb cleanliness and purity. pH-balanced water is the purest water there is: it is free of all sorts of pollution, bacteria, and chlorine, which could harm the plants. In this regard, it is a better choice than tap or any other type of unfiltered water.
our lighting
Our LED bulbs offer a more full and complete spectrum that boosts plant quality while remaining efficient. LEDs are great for our plants. They are calibrated to meet the exacting needs of indoor plants, with a boost of blue light to stimulate stronger roots, enhance photosynthesis, and ensure peak growth. They also give off very little heat. Though they cost a bit more upfront, LEDs are super-efficient. They use half the electricity and last 5x longer than fluorescent bulbs, That, plus the fact that mercury-free LED tubes won’t shatter like glass and end up in a landfill, makes them extremely eco-friendly.
