🌱 Why we grow microgreens (and why we think you should eat them).

A microgreen is just a baby version of a familiar plant — broccoli, radish, sunflower, pea — harvested 7–21 days after the seed sprouts. Tiny. But research keeps pointing to the same thing: in those first weeks, the plant is packing in vitamins, antioxidants and minerals at concentrations many times what you'll find in the mature vegetable.

A few of our favorite reasons to eat them:
• More nutrients per bite — up to 40× the vitamin C, E and K of full-grown greens, plus polyphenols and carotenoids that support heart and eye health.
• Living food — we cut yours within hours of going to market, so the enzymes are still doing their job when they reach your plate.
• Grown here — indoors, in Detroit, year-round. No pesticides, no air miles, no plastic clamshell from California.
• Easy to use — snip onto eggs, tacos, soup, salad, avocado toast, a grilled cheese. There's no wrong answer.

Grab a clamshell at Plum Markets, Westborn Markets, Better Health Markets, Zerbo's Markets, Market Square-Woodward, or order online at Market Wagon and get delivery straight to your door.

30 Seconds to Fresher Plates

After six years at the Birmingham Farmers' Market, we've decided to focus on the wholesale sector of our business and not attend the Market this year. Our wholesale business has grown considerably and we are directing our business efforts in that direction. We have made many friends throughout the six years of Sundays at the Birmingham Market and will sadly miss that part of our business. Thank you for your past support.
If you are looking for our microgreens, you can still find them at any of the Plum Markets, Westborn Markets, Zerbos Markets, Better Health Markets, Market Square Woodward. We also supply numerous wholesale produce distributors in the Metro Detroit area. Give us a call and we can share that info with you.
