💗 For the woman who is tired.

The woman going through treatment.

The woman recovering from surgery.

The woman who has lost her appetite.

The woman who is doing everything she can—and some days, everything feels like too much.

This is for you.

There is so much advice about what you should eat when you’re dealing with cancer.

More of this. Less of that.
Eat perfectly. Take this supplement. Try this diet.

But sometimes, nourishing yourself doesn’t have to be complicated.

That’s one of the things we love about microgreens.

They’re tiny, but they’re nutrient-dense and packed with naturally occurring plant compounds.

So if a big plate feels impossible, you don’t need a big plate.

Maybe today you can only manage a bite.

Make it a good one. 🌱

A little handful on toast.
A few snipped over soup.
A small forkful on a sandwich.

However you can get it in.

Because when your appetite is limited, we’re not looking for a perfect meal.

We’re looking for a high-quality bite.

Not because microgreens are magic.
Not because food replaces cancer treatment.

But because your body deserves nourishment while it’s doing hard things. 💗

There is no perfect plate.
There is no perfect day.

Just take care of yourself, one bite at a time.

And we’ll keep growing the good stuff. 🌱💗

🌱 Community Spotlight: Farmers Supply Co.

Healthy microgreens start with healthy soil, and we’re grateful to have a local business we can count on.

For our microgreens, we use growing media from Farmers Supply Co. in Wilmington. Having a dependable local supplier means we can keep our shelves stocked, respond quickly to the needs of our farm, and support another business that’s been serving our agricultural community for generations.

One thing I’ve learned through farming is that no one does it alone. Behind every harvest is a network of businesses supplying seed, soil, equipment, compost, and countless other essentials. Local farm supply stores are an important part of that network, providing knowledge, products, and support that help farms of every size succeed.

Thank you to the team at Farmers Supply Co. for being part of our journey and for supporting farmers throughout southeastern North Carolina.

When we choose to shop locally, we’re investing in businesses that invest in us.

🌱 Growing together, one local partnership at a time.

🐔 FLOCK FRIDAY | THE STARLIGHT GREEN EGGER EDITION 🥚🌱

Meet the ladies responsible for a good portion of our beautiful green eggs!

Our Starlight Green Eggers are some of the prettiest girls in our flock. They are exceptional foragers, wonderful mothers, and incredibly productive layers.

Our original four girls each earned their names for a reason:

🥜 Peanut — The runt who apparently missed the memo and grew into the largest of the bunch.

🌈 Rainbow Bright — Her layers of color are so pronounced that her name was practically chosen for her.

🌿 Irie — Her black feathers cascading down the back of her neck looked just like dreadlocks. A little island soul in chicken form.

❤️ Scarlet — She may not have the bold, dramatic coloring of her sisters, but her beautiful red feathers make her stand out in her own right.

Now, about that independent streak…

Every morning, we fence the girls into their run to encourage them to lay in their nest boxes rather than leave us an Easter egg hunt across the property.

The Starlights consider this a temporary inconvenience.
They jump the fence, investigate the window boxes for any overlooked foraging opportunities, and occasionally stand at the windows to spy on what we’re doing inside.

And because apparently one bad decision deserves a whole flock of followers, they have taught the other chickens to cross the road and explore the neighbors’ yards, too.

Yes, it’s frustrating. Yes, we have had conversations with chickens that were absolutely going nowhere.

Their eggs are some of the most beautiful we collect, and honestly, my personal favorite. 💚

And it’s not just the shells that make them special. Their constant foraging contributes to those gorgeous, rich orange-yellow yolks.

They are a wonderful reminder that every animal has its own personality, instincts, and place on the farm.

Independent, beautiful, productive, and just a little too smart for their own good.

🌱 Okay, let’s get a little nerdy.

Why do we keep talking about broccoli microgreens?

Because of the chemistry hiding inside those tiny little plants.

Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables contain glucosinolates. When those compounds are broken down, they can form compounds including sulforaphane.

And sulforaphane has gotten a LOT of attention from researchers.

Scientists are studying its effects on cellular pathways involved in oxidative stress, inflammation, cell growth and tumor suppression.

Some of those findings are pretty fascinating—especially in laboratory and animal studies. Human research is ongoing, and scientists are still working to understand exactly what those findings mean for people.

And that’s an important distinction:

We’re talking about research, not a cancer treatment.

We’re not going to tell you that eating microgreens cures cancer or replaces medical care.

But we are going to tell you when there’s something interesting happening in the science behind the food we’re growing.

Tiny greens.
Big chemistry.
A whole lot left to learn. 🌱

And honestly?

We think that’s pretty cool. 🩷

🌱 LOCAL PARTNER SPOTLIGHT | NIL’S MEDITERRANEAN CUISINE

Some of the best parts of running a small farm are the relationships we get to build along the way.

Twice a week, we have the pleasure of supplying fresh sunflower microgreens to Nil’s Mediterranean Cuisine, located in the heart of downtown Wilmington.

Working with Chef Tan has been such a wonderful experience. His ability to plan ahead has allowed us to do what we believe in most: grow to order, with intention, freshness, and purpose.

It doesn’t take long to recognize when someone puts their heart and soul into what they do. Chef Tan does exactly that. His professionalism, kindness, and passion for his craft are evident, and his dishes are nothing short of fantastic.

His kitchen staff deserve a mention, too. Every interaction has been met with warmth and kindness, making us feel genuinely welcomed as a part of their team.

And we would be remiss not to recognize Kat, Nil’s restaurant manager, who made the introduction and believed in our product from the beginning. That initial confidence in a small local farm means more than she probably realizes.

At Coastal Greens Farm, we believe local food is about more than ingredients. It’s about relationships, collaboration, and supporting the people who are putting something meaningful into our community.

We are proud to contribute a little of what we grow to the beautiful food being created at Nil’s.

Thank you, Chef Tan, Kat, and the entire Nil’s team, for welcoming us into your kitchen community. We are grateful to grow alongside you. 🌱

Freshly grown. Locally shared.

🌱 MICROGREENS ARE NOT SPROUTS. And there’s a reason we keep saying it.

We love a good educational moment, so let’s talk about something we hear all the time.

Microgreens and sprouts begin with the same process: a seed germinating.

But that’s where their growing paths diverge.

Sprouts are harvested very early, often within days, and are commonly consumed seed, root, and shoot.

Microgreens are grown in a medium, exposed to light, and harvested after their seed leaves have developed.

That difference affects their growing methods, nutritional profiles, harvesting practices, and food safety considerations.

And the food safety part matters.

Sprout production creates conditions that can allow harmful bacteria present on contaminated seeds to multiply rapidly. This has contributed to documented foodborne illness outbreaks.

Microgreens have a different production process and risk profile, but they still require appropriate food safety practices.

This isn’t about one being good and the other bad. It’s about understanding what we’re eating.

At Coastal Greens Farm, we believe food education is part of growing good food.

Because knowing your greens matters. 🌱

Save this post and share it with someone who calls your microgreens sprouts. 😉

We’re excited to welcome a new restaurant partner to the Coastal Greens family! 🌱 As we continue rebuilding production following some recent humidity and electrical challenges, we're navigating a little growing-season balancing act.
To ensure we can continue providing the quality and freshness you expect, we've made the difficult decision to cancel tonight's and Saturday's markets.

📸 Every beautiful farm photo has a person behind the camera.

When people see Coastal Greens Farm featured in local magazines, they often comment on the photos—but those moments don’t happen by accident.

A huge thank you to Daria Amato () for capturing our farm through every season. From market rush and greenhouse mornings to magazine features and stories that have helped introduce our farm to so many new faces, you’ve helped tell our story in a way words alone never could.

Photography has a way of preserving moments we’ll never get back, and I’m grateful you’ve been part of this journey.

If you’re looking for someone who can capture authentic moments and the heart behind a small business, I can’t recommend her enough.

Thank you for helping tell the Coastal Greens story. ❤️🌱

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 🎀

Around here, we believe food can be part of how we care for ourselves.

Not instead of medicine.
Not instead of treatment.
Alongside it. 🌱

At Coastal Greens Farm, we grow what we like to call good stuff for your body—fresh, nutrient-dense foods full of naturally occurring plant compounds worth paying attention to.

Our cruciferous microgreens—broccoli, radish, kale, cabbage, arugula and others—contain glucosinolates, which can break down into compounds such as sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is being studied for its effects on cellular processes related to cancer.

But we’re going to be really clear:

We aren’t going to tell you that microgreens cure cancer.

They don’t.

What we can say is that nourishing your body matters. Good nutrition can help support the energy, strength, recovery and overall well-being your body needs.

That’s what food as medicine means to us.

Not replacing medicine.

Nourishing the body that is doing the hard work. 💗

So this October, we’re thinking about the women fighting, the women recovering, the women who have finished treatment, the women supporting someone they love—and the women we’re remembering. 🎀

Eat the colorful things.
Eat the good stuff.
Feed your body well.

We’ll grow the good stuff. 🌱💗

🐔❤️ Meet Bertha’s Girls: Gloria Estefan, Selena & Shakira! ❤️🐔

We normally do NOT let our hens hatch their own eggs. We raise our chicks ourselves and choose which breeds to add to the flock based on things like personality, egg production, egg color, and what we’re looking for in our little farm flock.
But Bertha went broody.
And she was determined. 😂
So we decided to give her three Rhode Island Red babies and see what happened.

And honestly? She did a pretty darn good job.

She tucked those three babies under her, taught them how to scratch, forage, eat, and generally behave like chickens. It was so fun watching them follow Mama Bertha around the farm.

These three are our first hen-raised chicks, which makes them pretty special around here. ❤️

❤️ A little about Rhode Island Reds

Rhode Island Reds are one of the classic American homestead breeds, developed in Rhode Island and Massachusetts in the late 1800s.

They’re known for being:

🥚 Excellent brown-egg layers — often producing around 200+ eggs a year, depending on the strain and individual hen.

🌦️ Hardy and adaptable — they’re generally good, practical birds for a variety of climates and backyard or homestead environments.

🌱 Active foragers — curious, busy girls who enjoy scratching around and finding their own snacks.

🐔 Confident personalities — they tend to be active, alert, and independent, although individual temperament varies quite a bit.

So far, Gloria, Selena & Shakira are proving to be friendly, curious, food-motivated little ladies who have absolutely no problem making their opinions known to US or the rest of the flock. 😂

Because around here, every chicken has a story. ❤️🌱🐔
