Did you know that February 28th is Rare Disease Day?

Rare diseases affect over 300 million people worldwide, yet many of these conditions remain poorly understood, under-researched, and difficult to diagnose.

Today, I want to share a personal story about my son and business partner, Linden, who has been living with a rare disease called aggressive fibromatosis (Desmoid tumors) since he was 6 years old. He wasn’t officially diagnosed until age 11, after years of waiting and watching what we were told was a cyst, and the uncertainty, testing, and searching for answers.

We knew, after meeting with Linden’s oncologist for the first of many years of appointments with him, just how rare Linden’s disease was when we spoke with him. He only knew of one other patient with the same disease. It was very concerning to our family with so many unanswered questions and little information on this rare disease.

Like many rare disease patients, Linden’s journey has been anything but straightforward. He has endured multiple treatments, setbacks, and challenges, all while fighting for the right care. And as his parent, we’ve had to become his biggest advocate—researching, connecting with specialists, and pushing for options that local healthcare professionals weren’t familiar with.

Through my research, I found the Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation and a support group filled with patients, caregivers, and medical professionals. These resources made a world of difference in helping us find some answers and direction to the right care. But not every patient or family has that same access or awareness. That’s why Rare Disease Day is so important—to spread knowledge, encourage research, and support the people living with these conditions every day.

💜 To all the rare warriors, caregivers, and families—you are not alone. Keep advocating, keep pushing, and keep fighting.

Introducing cilantro - we love fully grown-mature cilantro, so we thought let’s give microgreen cilantro a go. 🌱🌱

Many Microgreens farmers find cilantro challenging to grow and depending on how long they plan to grow it (10-21 days or so) they may need to incorporate fertilizer for the longer growth periods.

So far we have found it fairly successful soaking the seeds before they are sowed has worked best and the seeds must be covered with soil in order to force the seeds to sprout to result in a high yield. We have been harvesting it about 14 days before the true leaf starts.

Why you might ask? We found it has a more intense flavour at this young age and we don’t need to use anything other than water and lights to produce it.🌱🌱

We have been enjoying growing cilantro so far. It does have quite a distinct aroma and intense flavour to it. We have enjoyed eating it on salads, in tacos as well on avocado toast. 🥗 🌮 🍞 🥑

We will be offering it soon for everyone to enjoy. 😁

You can see even my kitty is curious about it. 😆🤩

Check in the comments for a couple recipes for the featured dishes.

Do you enjoy cilantro? If so, please comment to get on a waitlist to get your hands on some when we have it available.

If every Canadian ate just one meal a week made with locally and organically grown ingredients, we could significantly reduce our nation’s carbon footprint.

By choosing Canadian-grown produce and supporting local farmers, we cut down on transportation emissions, support sustainable farming practices, and keep money circulating within our communities.

Never underestimate the power of a single meal to make a big difference! 🇨🇦 Support Canadian farmers 🇨🇦

🎄 Merry Christmas from Our Family to Yours 🎄

The holiday season always brings reflection, and for our family, one Christmas Eve stands out. On December 24, 2007, we walked into the pediatric ward at the Allan Blair Cancer Centre. The halls were quiet that morning, with only a few staff working. It was the day we would learn the results of Linden’s first MRI—a moment etched into our hearts forever.

The news wasn’t what we had hoped for. The rare tumour in Linden’s foot had shown growth. His oncologist explained that a trial study was available—an experimental option that might slow the tumour’s progression. We had so many questions, but before deciding, we asked Linden how he felt about it. His response left us in awe: “If this will help other children, then I’ll do it.”

At just 11 years old, he wasn’t thinking about the challenges he’d face—he was thinking about others. That selflessness stayed with him throughout the five months and 11 days he participated in the study.

Fast forward to the day I asked Linden about starting a microgreens business with me. His answer brought me back to that Christmas Eve in 2007: “Mom, if you think we can help others by offering microgreens to support their health and possibly assist in cancer prevention, then I’m all in.”

For our family, the holidays are a time to reflect on resilience and the incredible kindness of others. During those tough Decembers, when Linden was undergoing chemo around Christmas, the warmth of strangers carried us through. Nurses, volunteers, and thoughtful community members gifted presents to the children in the ward. The joy in the kids’ faces, the kindness of the staff, and the generosity of strangers made those challenging days a little brighter.

We’ll never forget the spirit of hope and giving that surrounded us during those times. It’s something we carry with us in everything we do, especially in our business.

This Christmas, we want to thank you—our amazing customers and supporters. You’ve not only helped us grow as a business but have also become part of our mission to make a difference.

May your holidays be filled with love, joy, and the magic of giving. Merry Christmas from our family to yours!🎄

With love,
Lori & Linden🌱💚
