How It Works 🌱
From seed to your table in days, not weeks. Have you ever tasted a microgreen that was harvested just hours before it reached you?
We Grow It
Organic seeds, custom petroleum-free in-house soil blends, and purified water. Every tray is grown with intention in our grow room. No shortcuts, no sprays, no compromise.
We Harvest It
Cut fresh to order. Your microgreens are never sitting on shelves or in warehouses. When you get them, they are still alive with nutrients. That is the difference.
We Deliver It
PA Preferred certified and delivered free to your door across SE PA in a PLASTIC-FREE biodegradable container. Or find us at 4 local farmers markets every week. Pennsylvania grown food should not be hard to find.
Certified Organic in 2022. Then We Raised Our Own Bar Even Higher. 🌿
We did not lose our organic certification. We outgrew it. Our PA Preferred certification complements who we are as a Pennsylvania farm. But the USDA Organic cert? Could we fill out the paperwork, pay the fee, and have it back? Absolutely. But why would we go backward when our standard is already stricter than what that certification requires?
This Is Not a Marketing Decision. This Is How Our Family Lives.
In 2022 we earned our USDA Organic certification. We put in the hours, filled out every form, paid every fee, and passed. Then we started reading the fine print. The government certification allows conventional seeds in certain situations. It permits specific synthetic fertilizers under certain conditions. For most farms, that is good enough. For our family, it was a dealbreaker.
So we raised our own bar higher than the certification requires and chose not to renew. This is not a cost-cutting decision. If we spent the hours on the paperwork and paid the fee tomorrow, we would have it back, because we never stopped growing organically. We actually grow stricter than organic. We heavily filter and sanitize our water to a level we set ourselves. Every seed is organic. Every soil blend is petroleum-free. Every container is biodegradable. No exceptions. Ever.
This is not something we turn on when we walk into the grow room and turn off when we leave. Our family skips snacks and treats we would love to eat because they are not organic, or at the very least GMO-free and synthetic-free. Our kids know the difference. Growing clean food is not our business strategy. It is our way of life.
If it touches your food, it better be clean enough for our own kids. That is the only standard that matters to us.
We Changed How the Industry Talks. Now Let Us Set the Record Straight.
Research from the USDA and the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry has confirmed that 1 ounce of microgreens equals approximately 1.5 pounds of the mature plant in nutritional value, with some nutrients reaching concentrations equivalent to up to 2.5 pounds. This is not marketing. This is peer-reviewed science, backed hand over fist now more than half a decade into our journey of microgreen-ology.
But here is what you need to understand, because most farms repeating this line never bothered to read the research themselves. The "up to 2.5 pounds" is the ceiling, not the floor. Some nutritional values, like certain vitamins and antioxidants, hit that 2.5 pound mark. Others land closer to 1 ounce equaling roughly two-thirds of a pound of the mature plant. The honest range depends on the variety, the nutrient, and how it was grown. We say "up to 2.5 pounds" because the science supports it, but we also believe you deserve the full picture, not just the headline. 🔬
We never expected that one line to catch on the way it did. Today, every microgreen farmer in the country uses this comparison. Scroll through any farm's website or social media and you will see it repeated word for word. The difference is: we actually understand what it means. We have spent years studying the science behind it. Most of the people copying that line could not tell you which nutrients hit 2.5 pounds and which ones do not.
1 ounce. Approximately 1.5 pounds on average. Up to 2.5 pounds at the peak. Now you know the real numbers, not just the soundbite. That is the MicrogreenFX difference.
"PA Preferred certified and proud of it. USDA Organic earned and then surpassed. We could renew the organic cert tomorrow. But why go backward when our family standard is already stricter than what they require? Our kids eat what we grow. That tells you everything." 🏆
That is the MicrogreenFX difference. Not a marketing ploy. A way of life. 🌿
