Happy birthday to our favorite fella! Josiah, you are the light after the blackout, you're sharper than the blade that cuts at harvest, and more vibrant than a tray of amaranth... We love you and can't wait to watch you grow in this next year ❤
Gratitude does a body good... Happy Thanksgiving to all of you lovely people ❤ We are thankful for YOU.

Ready to read about radish? 😎
Radish has quickly become a personal favorite for me. They have a great crunch and can easily spice up a dish and add tons of flavor. Plus, they are so pretty! 😍 I love them on sandwiches, in salads, and to add some pizazz to my pasta 🍝
Radish microgreens are also a good source of vitamins A, B, C, E, and K, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. They have anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties too!
Rave-worthy and ready for you!
Starting my morning off with greens and gratitude ❤
I'm so grateful for all of you lovely people supporting Josiah and I on this exciting journey! You guys are the best!
What's one thing you are grateful for today?
Hey guys! For those of you who might be wondering, we are open and ready for business 😁 You can message us directly on here for more information or head over to our website www.thegratitudepatch.com ❤

We would love to serve you!
Don't mind me over here... just nerding out over our new labels! 😍😍😍😍😍
Loving all this beautiful color ❤
📽 spotlight on sunflower! 🌻
I'm partial to the big, beautiful, golden sunflowers in the wild that impart awe and wonder (see pictures from one of our favorite dates!), so trust me when I say that I was unsure about this green, teeny, tiny, microgreen imposter...
But, this one is a sure winner in our house and a personal favorite. ❤ The kids will even steal mine off my plate! Sunflower microgreens have a mild, nutty taste-- similar to eating sunflower seeds. Plus, the texture is just amazing and they have the best crunch!
Maybe they never get the chance to sway in a golden sea of sunshine and impart awe and wonder, but they DO get to impart super health benefits! Sunflower microgreens are a great source of calcium and iron and vitamins A, B, D, and E. And at the end of the day, I'd say that's even better...
This has been A Microgreens Minute with Alyssa, signing off.
So, we did a thing today! We were out hustling in KC trying to get the word out about The Gratitude Patch and the wonderful world of microgreens 🌱 We met a lot of great people and learned some valuable lessons that will help us moving forward. What a fun adventure to be on! 🤠
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming-- allow me to introduce-- peas! 😀
Peas are a favorite here at The Gratitude Patch... loved by kids and adults alike. Pea microgreens taste like, well, peas. 🤔 They are peas in leaf form! 🌱 They make a great addition to sandwiches, salads or mixed into your favorite smoothie. 🥗🥤
Peas are packed with vitamins A, C, D, and K. They are full of antioxidants and phytonutrients, which can help fight 💪🦸♂️ inflammation and regulate blood sugar levels. So, they taste great and can help you feel great too!
Thanks for tuning in to this edition of A Microgreen Minute. This is Alyssa, signing off. ✌
So, this evening is a different kind of introduction-- not a delicious microgreen to add color and flavor to your favorite dish-- BUT tonight's guest sure does add color and flavor to my life 😁🥰
Meet Josiah, co-owner of The Gratitude Patch. He is the mastermind behind our whole venture, from dreaming up the idea, building our work area with his bare hands, researching business licensing and requirements to planting, loving, and harvesting our awesome microgreens. He is just the best!
When he's not working his tail off for The Gratitude Patch, he is probably busy finishing his degree, preparing to lead worship, or loving his family ... all while being the biggest goofball ❤
Let's show this awesome guy some much deserved love!
Next up-- 🎤-- small, but mighty--mustard! 💪
Mustard microgreens can add a bold flavor to any dish. They have a distinct, spicy flavor similar to Dijon or Wasabi and pair well with sushi, curries, sandwiches, or salads. 🥘🥗🍱
Mustard packs a punch with more than just its flavor. They are a good source of
fiber, folate, manganese, calcium, potassium, and Vitamins A, C, K, E, B6. They are high in antioxidants, which can help detoxify the body and mustard microgreens can even help relieve congestion! 👃(definitely a bonus this time of year 🤷♀️)
Tune in tomorrow for the next edition of A Microgreen Minute! This is Alyssa, signing off.
Hey guys. Meet broccoli 🥦 😀
Broccoli microgreens have a fresh, mild cabbage flavor with a nice crunch. They are a tasty addition to sandwiches, soups, and salads---or really anything!
Not only are they tasty, but they are good for you too! They are a great source of calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, folate, and vitamins A, C, and K. They are also very high in sulforaphane (up to 100X more than mature broccoli!) which helps reduce inflammation, and studies have found that it may even help prevent cancer.
Stay tuned for the next edition of A Microgreen Minute. This is Alyssa, signing off. 🤓

So... what even are microgreens?🤷♀️
Microgreens are a young plant (most commonly a vegetable or herb) that is harvested while still immature, usually around 10-12 days after germination-- they are somewhere between sprouts and baby greens.
What is really cool is that studies have shown that they have a higher nutritional value than their mature counterparts- some even up to 40X more! 😲 They are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. 💪🧠🦴❤
Microgreens make a great addition to a variety of dishes. They add a crunchy texture, a pop of color, and delicious flavor.
Stay tuned this week and I'll introduce you to some of the more popular microgreens that we are growing! 🌱
🌱
We harvested a small batch of sunflower micros this morning. Aren't they just the cutest?!
🌱
Can't wait to watch this week grow into something great! Happy Monday!
Here's to a happy different-kind-of-dirty thirty to Alyssa!
On another note... fun ideas for your bird bath. 🌺
Micros for the minis ❤
Growing extra gratitude with these sprouts tonight ❤🌱
Here are a couple of ways that we like to eat microgreens 😊
During the 2020 lockdown, a new vision for how we wanted to live started to grow. From this, blossomed The Gratitude Patch. We are so excited to bring quality microgreens to the KC area as part of our mission to spread health and happiness — growing gratitude with every sprout!
We are proud of the microgreens we grow, right here in Lenexa! Grown from all organic seed with no harsh chemicals, just love. Two ways to buy: Grow to order, or shop our fresh cut greens! Growing to order means that we grow a tray, or partial trays, just for you. Tell us what you want and we plant the same day. We would love to serve you, your family, or market.
