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.

Inspired by Tami's recent trip to Peru, we are loving this vibrant and versatile aji amarillo paste. It's a staple used to elevate traditional marinades, sauces, and stews. Stop by the market tomorrow to grab some fresh aji peppers and give it a try!

🐥Meet the newest recruits at the community garden! Our new batch of pullets is settling in, and they're happily exploring their new digs (bottom left.)

Right now, the young ladies are living large in their mobile chicken tractor, which we move frequently to give them fresh pasture, tasty bugs to scratch up, and 360-degree protection while they grow.

Once they’re a bit bigger and ready to join the big leagues, they'll graduate to full free-range status right alongside our seasoned laying hens you see in the other photos.

Whether they're running free by day—taste-testing crops, perfecting their fence-top acrobatics, and inspecting the compost heaps—or safely tucked into their spacious, predator-proof coop overnight, these girls are living their absolute best farm lives and conducting important galline business.

What does this mean for you? It means a whole lot more of our farm-fresh eggs are coming your way very soon! Stay tuned for more updates as our newest flock grows up.

Don’t let their diminutive size fool you—broccoli microgreens are nutritional giants! These tiny greens are harvested just days after germination, capturing a concentrated dose of vitamins and minerals.

Like many vegetables, broccoli microgreens can also help you stay healthy thanks to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Gram for gram, they can contain significantly more nutrients than a mature head of broccoli!
Because they have a mild, fresh flavor, they are also incredibly versatile in the kitchen. They can be used as toppers for sandwiches or pizza, folded into scrambled eggs, and in salads. Check out our recipe for broccoli microgreen pesto. 🍝🥦

Whether you’re looking to support your immune system or just want to add a beautiful, peppery crunch to your dinner, these greens are a must-have in the kitchen.
