You can’t control American Politics, but if you are wise, you can control what you eat. Vote green, vote local, vote microgreens, vote Better Greens.
Pick them up at Meat at the Beach, or order from us online. 4-40x more nutrient dense than their adult versions with properties to fight cancer, heart disease, liver dysfunction and more. It’s the right choice you good people.

Halloween…..the tricks, the treats, spirits and afterlives. Don’t some of the houses around town look great.

Now it’s not to late to go to Meat at the Beach, get a 60g box of microgreens, harvested today. And when those little scone grabbers come round, offer them some local green goodies. 😅 You may line yourselves up for being “tricked” but I’d imagine the look on their faces would be worth rolling the dice over?

Happy Harvest Day, Happy Halloween 🎃 🌱

🌱✨ Celebrating Our Recycling Champions!✨🌱

Since 2021, our incredible customers have recycled and reused our containers an amazing 4,800 times!

This adds up to over 1,000 kg of plastic saved from the landfill — that's over an entire tonne!🌍🌱

To paint a picture, stacking all those lids and bases would reach a staggering **2,400 meters** high, towering more than **three times** the height of the Coromandel's Pinnacles Hut! 🏔️

We're so grateful for your commitment to sustainability and helping us make a positive impact on our communities and of course our planet.

Together, we’re creating a healthier world, one recycled container at a time. 💪♻️

Keep up the fantastic work!

If you have any handy tips on better containers or packaging to use, drop us a line🙂🌱

From Central North Island back to the beach and harvest day. I hope everyone is more excited than what Moose looks like departing for a 5hr roadie. Maybe he’s just not impressed by paparazzi hounding of him all the time. Get it, hounding….Moose….kids love my Dad jokes, ahhhh and you will too🤗
No issues hounding you good people to eat your microgreens, you know the benefits, your body’s thank you for it, and we love getting them out fresh to your door.

Wake up, it’s Monday, it’s 4 more days until Friday, then it’s Labour Weekend, 7 more school days for Year 12( 6th Form) then 65 more days until Christmas…..life is ticking on.
