Emerald Gardens

The EG Crew's always hustlin hustlin hustlin to harvest the finest organically-grown micros and feed + nourish our community with this magical superfood. And at the end of a hard day's work, we always replenish our strength with, what else? More delicious microgreens 💪🏽🌱

Co-founder Roberto featured on PBS

Emerald Gardens + East Denver Food Hub co-founder Roberto Meza talks to Rocky Mountain PBS about EDFH’s mission to revolutionize how we think about food. According to Roberto, farm workers’ low wages, lack of access, and absence of economic opportunities result from a system that prioritizes profits over people. EDFH's model enables more profits to reach farm workers by eliminating middlemen and reimagining distribution. We at Emerald Gardens are proud to offer our microgreens harvests directly through EDFH (more info coming soon; watch this space!). #ColoradoGrown #GrownWithLove ❤️ in #Colorado #PBS

#FlashbackFriday to our humble beginnings: We started Emerald Gardens in a tiny DIY makeshift grow space; now we cultivate our microgreens labor of love in a 3,000 square foot Ceres Greenhouses space. 🌱 Though getting here has taken our giving 110% to this project, none of this would matter if we didn’t have our community’s support. Y’all supported and built us up when things were touch and go. And now, as essential workers, we’re proud to feed our community during this uncertain time. 🎶 started from the bottom now we’re here 🎶 #weloveourcustomers #grownwithlove ❤️ in #Colorado #ColoradoProud

You can get Emerald Gardens microgreens at East Denver Food Hub, and they will be at City Park Farmers Market this Saturday and South Pearl Street Farmers Market this Sunday! Come say hi!

“We live microgreens. We grow them, we harvest them, and we know what they need—we nurture them.” -Dave Demerling, Co-founder #ThrowbackThursday to our transitional growspace before our expansion to our @ceresgreenhouse 🌱

One Million Trees 4 Colorado is a citizen-led grassroots campaign to plant one million new trees across Colorado today, September 21, 2020. We challenge our friends and families to get their friends networks involved in our effort. Planting trees is a positive and effective way to celebrate our state and improve the health of our communities; with a little help from a lot of people, we can make this dream a reality. 🌳❤️ 🌎 #OMT4CO #coloradoproud

It’s no secret that the EG crew sets aside micros to munch on like tictacs and keep our energy up all day. But what about when everything hits the fan and we’re running on empty? We eat even more microgreens, STAT! For a fool-proof, fast-acting, and fist-pumping energyboost 💪, our crew throws back a few mouthfuls of broccoli micros in quick succession. Packed with nutrients like vitamins C and A, antioxidants, and sulforaphane, these superfood broccoli bombs 🥦 💣 straight up give us fuel to fly (and farm!). 🌱 ✈️ 👨‍🌾 . . #grownwithlove ❤️ in #Colorado #takingflight #makingithappen
