NON GMO SEEDS. ECO-FRIENDLY SUBSTRATE

Just like traditional farms and greenhouses, the first step to growing high-quality plants starts with high-quality seeds. We grow our seeds in a carefully selected, responsibly sourced growing medium (not soil, but a peat blend) to optimize the plant’s growth.

PLANTS ARE HARVESTED AT PEAK FRESHNESS

After spending the optimal time in the grow facility, our greens are ready for harvest. The plants are harvested at the peak of readiness, packed, and routed for delivery or pick up.

GROWING TRAYS ARE FILLED WITH SUBSTRATE, SEEDED AND WATERED

Our plants are grown in trays. These trays are filled with a proprietary substrate blend and then the seeds are sown. The trays are watered, slotted together on a large growing bench, and enter a dark humid period for germination.

OUR GREENS ARE DELIVERED TO YOUR LOCAL CHEF OR FARMERS MARKET

Our farm is just outside of town which allows us to reduce the distance between farm and fork. Decreasing the environmental footprint of transport increases taste, nutrition, and freshness.

GREENS ARE GROWN UNDER LED LIGHTS

After germination, our small seedlings are transferred to our multi-layer grow shelf. Our plants are placed under highly efficient LED lights that mimic the spring sun (perfect for our leafy greens). To feed the plants, we pump in water that will allow them to flourish.

AN ESSENTIAL PART OF YOUR HEALTHY DIET

The St. Louis’s 2024 Food Guide recommendation is to eat more fruits and vegetables in your daily diets to allow for a healthier body and sound mind. We are proud we can help our community expand their access to local, fresh, nutrient-dense, tasty greens all year round.
