Growing tips and the tools we use, all in one place.

What we’ve learned from years of growing, for your kitchen or garden.
All you need is a shallow tray, a good growing mix and a sunny windowsill. Most microgreens are ready to harvest in one to three weeks.
Keep the soil damp but never soggy, and water from below once the shoots appear. Give them bright light so they grow sturdy, not leggy.
Cut just above the soil with clean scissors. Store your greens dry in a covered container in the fridge, and enjoy them within a week.
The supplies we rely on every week on the farm.
Sturdy, reusable trays with drainage holes. They last for years.
A light, fine mix that holds moisture without packing down.
Untreated seed from growers we trust, sown thick for a full tray.
