Sweet Peas Urban Gardens

Sweet Peas Urban Gardens We grow nutrient dense microgreens bursting with flavor for fine-dining and everyday consumption! Hi, we are Sweet Peas Urban Gardens, or SPUG for short.

We produce pesticide-free Microgreens in the heart of Garner, NC for restaurants, CSAs, farmers markets, and produce delivery services. WHAT ARE MICROGREENS?
​Tiny Veggies with Massive Nutrition and Flavor

Microgreens are tiny vegetables and herbs that are harvested at their maximum nutrient density, at the formation of the first "true leaves" of the plant. In 2012, a study published at the Unive

rsity of Maryland concluded that microgreens contain between 4 and 40 times the nutrient density of their full grown relatives. Thus, a tablespoon of raw microgreens is a full serving of vegetables. In addition to their superfood properties, microgreens pack tremendous flavor into a small bite. The team at Sweet Peas Urban Gardens believes that urban farming is fundamental to the creation of healthy, sustainable food production for our growing metropolitan society. As more folks flock to revitalized inner cities and neighborhoods, the demand for locally produced fresh food is expanding, catalyzing a re-evaluation of the potential of these traditionally non-agricultural landscapes. Moving from rural fields of row crops to dense neighborhood farms and gardens constitutes an urgent and exciting transition.

Happy World Environment Day! 🌍🌱

Ever wonder how we can fight climate change right from our neighborhood? The answer is all about extreme proximity. At Sweet Peas Urban Gardens, we are pioneering the shift from massive, industrial country rows to dense, sustainable neighborhood farming right here in the Triangle. Here is how hyperlocal growing helps heal the planet:

🚚 Zero-Mile Food: By growing more than 55 varieties of nutrient-dense microgreens and veggies just minutes from downtown Raleigh, we cut down the massive carbon footprint of long-distance food transportation.

🪱 Protecting the Soil Web: We use Certified Naturally Grown, organic, and permaculture practices. No harsh chemical pesticides mean we preserve the delicate, mighty soil ecosystem and protect our local waterways from runoff.

🐝 Boosting Urban Biodiversity: Turning compact urban spaces into thriving green zones creates vital pockets for local pollinators and helps capture carbon right where we live.

🌱Big environmental changes start in small, local spaces. Support sustainable agriculture today by choosing hyper-local!

Happy National Egg Day! 🍳✨

Whether you like them scrambled, poached, or baked into your favorite treats, today is the day to celebrate the incredible backyard cluckers that make it all happen. Behind every perfect egg is a hard-working hen. In our backyard flock, we’ve got a whole crew handling production:

👑Queen B, our regal Cinnamon Queen
👯‍♀️Red Bottom and Broody, our duo of Delaware Reds
🐓and our two trusty Barred Rocks who prefer to remain anonymous, but never miss a shift!

To celebrate, here are a few facts about these nutrition powerhouses!

🥚The Ultimate Brain Food: Eggs are packed with choline, an essential nutrient that is a building block for brain development, memory, and mood regulation.
🥚One large egg delivers about 6 grams of high-quality protein, containing all nine essential amino acids that our bodies can't produce on their own. Because they're, um, "mature" a few of our hens regularly produce eggs that have multiple yolks in them - meaning even more protein!
🥚Eggs are one of the very few foods that naturally contain Vitamin D, which is crucial for bone health and immune support.

🥒It's National Cucumber Month, so we thought we'd share a simple recipe for refrigerator dill pickles!

🥒So, what is a "pickling cucumber?" They're specific varieties of cucumbers cultivated to remain crisp, firm, and flavorful when preserved in brine or vinegar. Unlike standard slicing cucumbers, they are distinguished by their shorter, blockier shape, bumpy skin with tiny spines, and smaller, undeveloped seed cavities. They're abundant at farmers markets during June.
