Our Story
My family and I have been gardening and growing herbs and vegetables for more than twenty years. Our house, both inside and out is full of plants of all kinds. Since we moved to the countryside, in Michigan in 2022, we have had a lot more space to grow things. In 2023 I decided to take things up a notch and began growing microgreens. My decision started out being for health reasons. In time I discovered that eating these microgreens on a regular basis actually made me feel better physically. I was getting my health back!
Ever since moving out to the country, I always wanted to participate in farmers markets, so that's when an idea struck to start selling microgreens there! It's a lot of work to set up and take down and plan everything just right but I did enjoy meeting the community and loved seeing what other farmers and entrepreneurs were selling. There are so many creative hardworking people here!
This year, 2024, I discovered how to turn the microgreens into powder and that they lost no nutritional value during the drying process. I absolutely love this way of getting my vitamins! I am not a huge vegetable eater, so not having to struggle to get all my greens in my system everyday by using powder is a great benefit for me. It doesn't mean I don't try to eat healthy though. It's just a nice substitute. I grow everything indoors for climate and bug control. I find it is easier to maintain a clean environment indoors as well. I am very picky about the vegetables and greens I eat, so I am picky how i grow them. If I won't eat them, I don't expect anyone else to.
This has been and continues to be a wonderful journey for me, as I love growing thing and am enjoying better health because of it!
Getting to know my community has also been a great reward!
