His box growing method worked great! It saved time, energy, and growing space and bonus- look how pretty they are!

Please help us celebrate Aiden and his beautiful bride, Jayden! While we definitely missed Aiden while he was away, we couldn’t be any happier for these two. Welcome to the Growing Joy Farms family, Jayden! 💕

Why do we promote microgreens so much? Read the following article from NC State about broccoli microgreens and cancer.

https://phytomedicine.plantsforhumanhealth.ncsu.edu/2022/06/22/fight-cancer-with-broccoli-microgreens/

There are many other studies being performed throughout the country showing benefits from cancer to blood sugar levels to cholesterol to blood flow, etc. These little veggies can contain up to 40x the nutrient content as their mature plant.

Healthy, fresh and nutrient dense is what these offer. An added benefit for the way we grow in conjunction with is that these are grown hydroponically (in water) in a confined indoor space. No worry of harmful soil born pathogens. No contamination from outsiders. Just clean, fresh, healthy microgreens.

We will be doing a series on microgreens in the coming weeks showcasing growing, harvesting, how to use these little plants, benefits, etc so get ready and get excited!!!! Ask your questions now and we will respond and include in the series.

These beauts were just pulled (these are about 1/20th of the bed) and will be delivered this afternoon. We grow everything from seeds and use regenerative agriculture techniques. No short cuts. Just good, clean produce. You aren't finding much like this on the grocery store shelf!

Carrots are always a fam favorite!
