I had some leftover ramen soup base from a work lunch the other day so I thought I'd chop up some broccoli greens, add some bamboo shoots, rice, and corn in. 🥦 Mmm, it tasted so good and the family loved it! 😋 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Have you tried adding greens to a soup recipe before? Do tell! 🍜 🌱

I just love how versatile microgreens are. This salad consisted of sunflower microgreens, persimmon chunks, baby bell cheese chunks, crushed walnuts, chia seeds, strawberry balsamic vinegar, and orange infused olive oil. Oh sooo yummy, and only took around 5min to make on my lunch break too! Scrumptious! 🌱

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year all! Anyone else enjoying their greens today?! I couldn't help myself 😆 Had some kohl rab' mix with smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado, and balsamic vinegar on my bagel for breakfast. Yum yum! 🌱🌲☃️

I can't believe how many greens customers order sometimes, but Jennifer has definitely set the record at NINE! 😲 It took me a few seconds to double-check her order but we just had to laugh as I balanced this tower of nutritional goodness up her entrance stairs. 😆 😋 Love it! ❤️ 🌱

I want to shine a spotlight on the one who helped kick-start my microgreens adventure - my first-ever customer! 🥳

Andrea (and family) - you believed in me from day one and made this dream a reality. Your support has been so inspiring and I'm incredibly grateful to get to deliver greens to you on a regular basis. 🥗🤗

To all my customers, old and new, thank you for trusting me to bring freshness to your lives. I can't wait to deliver the next harvest to you all! 🌱💚

Hey microgreens family! Today marks an incredible milestone - one year since I delivered my first batch of microgreens to my very first customer. Can you believe it?! 🌟 It's been quite the journey, filled with growth, learning, and a lot of green goodness! 🌿

I started this venture because I wanted to empower my family and community to eat more locally grown food. I also wanted to find a way to grow food year around since gardens and winters don't do so well together 😄. What better way to do that than growing fresh and nutritious microgreens in my living room?! I saw an ad on Facebook by https://www.facebook.com/freedomfarmers for a course on how to start a microgreens business, dove right in, and I'm so glad I did!

Thank-you for the love and support each of you have given to make this dream a reality. From seed to harvest to your doorsteps, your enthusiasm has made this such a fun journey.

Here's to many more years of health and happiness together. 🌱💚

Good morning friends! I haven't posted in a while so I thought I'd say hi! I beat the sun and got up at 5am to harvest greens and can't wait to do my favourite part of running a microgreens business - delivering and meeting customers! Wishing you a great day today. 🌱 ❤

This counts as a salad right? You got your two croutons there, some greens, cheese bits, and a bit of protein... that's gotta pass the test. I just love making salads. They taste so yummy! 😂

06/11/2023

I gotta be honest with y'all, there are so many parts about growing microgreens that are fun, fulfilling, and fascinating. The scheduling, coordinating, marketing, learning, watering, seeding, harvesting, admining, budgeting, delivering to and chatting with customers - I love em! BUT you you know what I love most about them? Definitely NOT cleaning! Lol.
.. jk, it's not that bad 😂

06/07/2023

Mmmm. Today's scrumptiousness had raspberries, dried fig chunks, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, elderflower vinaigrette, and of course some pea shoots microgreens 🌱

05/27/2023

This is pretty cool. Do you think I could fit one of these robot arms in my living room for my greens?! 😂

We visit Plenty's new vertical farm in California to learn all about the benefits of this style of farming, and the technological innovations that make it po...

I've been on a bit of a salad kick lately and wow are some of these are good. Do you have any favourite salad recipes? This one has sunflower microgreens, chickpeas, feta cheese, and dill infused olive oil. Mmmmm. So good! Filling too! 🌱🥗

It's pizza night! 🍕 I love how easy it is to dice up some greens and add them to our pizzas. Yummy and nutritious! 🌱

We made an amazing shrimp alfredo sauce with chopped microgreens and bow noodles the other day for supper. Sooooo good! 🤤 🍝 🍤

What creative ways have you incorporated greens into your meals recently? 🌱

Have an itch for a burger? Try a microgreens burger! My mom sent me this photo of hers and I just love the idea. It's gluten free too! Crunchy mix, patty of choice, mustard, relish, and ketchup. Yum! 🌱 ❤

01/23/2023

Today's lunch of choice: chicken melts made with pea shoots, purple cabbage, red bell peppers, chicken, cheese, mayonnaise, and seasonings, with a side of sunflower microgreens. So easy to make and tasty too! 🌱🤤

I can't believe how lush this week's batch of sunflowers are! I don't know what was different this week folks but these ones are thiiiiiiick. Send me a message if you'd like to order some cause I'll probably have extra of these yummy greens after harvesting tomorrow (Thursday) morning. 🌱🤤

12/18/2022

Looking for another way to incorporate greens into your diet? Smoothies are an excellent option that even your kiddos will love! My littles love helping me layer and mix and match various fruits and veggies into our smoothies ❤.

This one had yogurt, frozen mango, frozen avocado, frozen strawberry, vanilla protein powder, and topped with our yummy micro broccoli. It tasted great! 🤤

12/09/2022

Wahoooo! So many deliveries today! Met a lot of great people who are just as excited about eating healthy greens as I am. Can't wait to do it all over again next week!

11/26/2022

It's so fun to see what people are putting our greens in. Don't these creations look so scrumptious?! 🤤 Sandwiches, pastas, salads – so many options! What recipe have you made that was levelled up with some greens? (or could have been 😉)

It was so fun delivering these packages of micro goodness to people yesterday. Why did it have to be so cold though?!

Finally, the northeast Edmonton Alberta area has direct access to delicious locally grown microgreens – that are up to 40x more nutrient-dense than mature greens like broccoli!

Hey! I’m Trevor, your local microgreens farmer.

My farm, Dunn's Greens, is a small 'direct to community' MICROGREENS urban farm that delivers right to your doorstep anywhere near northeast Edmonton.

We specialise in growing 4 varieties of nutrient-dense microgreens that have been proven by research to have countless potential health benefits:

✅ Boosts your immune system
✅ Reduces chronic disease risk
✅ Helps with weight loss
✅ Lowers inflammation
✅ Improves gut health

Private message us via this page or order via our website at https://dunnsgreens.ca if you're interested in having our microgreens delivered to your doorstep every week, less than 24 hours after they’re harvested.

What are Microgreens?

Microgreens are the earliest stage of a vegetable plant’s development, after the sprouting stage.

They are “living foods” – purposefully utilised in their most nutritious and delicious state.

Why are microgreens healthier than regular greens like lettuce, spinach, and kale?

✅ Their nutrient content is more concentrated
✅ Their vitamin and antioxidants levels are up to 40x higher than more mature greens
✅ They’re richer in macro minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium
✅ They’re richer in micro minerals such as iron, zinc and copper
✅ And we can go on and on… they’re richer in B vitamins, essential amino acids, folate, etc!

What are the top 4 microgreens that we specialise in growing?

1. Sunflower
2. Pea
3. Broccoli
4. Red Radish

One of the things we love most about these 4 varieties (other than the countless health benefits) is that they’re so easy to use!

In fact, if you want to taste real food and feel healthier, we recommend you add them to virtually every single meal. You and your taste buds can thank us later!

✅ Sandwiches & Wraps
✅ Salads
✅ Smoothies & Juices
✅ Soups

That’s just a few examples.

We encourage you to get creative and experiment with microgreens as they can add so much flavour, texture and colour to your meals!

We offer 4 different varieties of microgreens or our Weekly Micro Variety Pack:

- 60g Broccoli clamshells
- 100g Sunflower clamshells
- 100g Pea clamshells
- 75g Crunchy Mix clamshells
- Weekly Micro Variety Pack (1 order of each)

You cannot get these in supermarkets!

- They’re exceptionally fresh because they’re delivered less than 24 hours after they’re harvested
- They have enhanced shelf-life (minimum 7 days)
- They’re grown sustainably with less water and no pesticides

Just leave a cooler out on your delivery day each week and we’ll take care of the rest!

Private message us via this page or order via our website at https://dunnsgreens.ca if you're interested.

If you’ve read this far, chances are you’re about to message us to place your order and you’re excited to experience microgreens, however, if for whatever reason you’re on the fence, here’s our promise to you:

Try our microgreens for 1 week and if you don’t feel more healthy, alive, and full of energy - we’ll give you your money back! You’ve got nothing to lose.

That’s how confident we are that our microgreens can transform more than just your health!

Private message us via this page or order via our website at https://dunnsgreens.ca if you're interested.

I look forward to hearing how our microgreens make you feel!
