Elevate your meals with Microgreens, Microherbs, Edible Flowers produced by London Micro Farm
How did you start?
We were always keen to do something different but never had the idea of starting a business.
A few years ago while we were shopping in a supermarket, a question sprung into our mind asking, where does the food we eat come from? Since then, we started to look into the origin of every product we purchased and it amazed us how foods were produced in different countries and distributed around the world in such a massive scale.
At the same time, we also felt how important it is to grow the essential food we eat closer to the end consumer. This triggered an interest to take up a hobby growing herbs.
The pair of us started to do loads of experiments and trials day in and day out. At one point, we started to share our produce with family and friends.
The more we thought about getting local produce out to people, we realised how challenging it is to produce any kind of food and distribute it to the community. This gave us the push to think ‘why not start a business and face these challenges to do our part in solving a global issue and contribute towards a sustainable future’. This sounded exciting and we kick-started our journey.
For those that don’t know, what do you offer?
London Micro Farm is currently offering a wide range of Microgreens, Microherbs and Edible Flowers. They come in different shapes, colour and flavours. We supply them to restaurants, cafes, bistros and stock micro salad boxes in shops for home consumers to use in salads, smoothies or alongside any dish.
For restaurants, cafes and bistros, we grow the varieties they request based on their need. Most popular being micro mustard, micro coriander, micro red veined sorrel and red amaranth .
For home consumers, we offer variety boxes – spicy mix, rainbow mix and flavour punch – which will include a variety of greens with different flavour tones. These are available for direct home delivery.
