📍 Quick Answer
microGREENFX runs microgreen growing classes at our family farm in Schwenksville, PA, in central Montgomery County. The farm is roughly 10 minutes from Collegeville, 15 from Pottstown, 20 from Lansdale, and 25 from Phoenixville and West Norriton. Adult classes are 3 hours and held on the working farm. Kids classes for ages 6 to 12 are 90 minutes. Private group sessions available for homeschool, scouts, and parties.
We get the same question from a lot of people in the Perkiomen Valley: "where exactly are you and how long is the drive?" 📍
Schwenksville sits in central Montgomery County. Most of the SE PA towns we deliver to also reach our farm classes within 30 minutes. We are deliberately a small operation, so the only way to attend a class is to show up in person on the farm. There is no online version.

What the Farm Visit Looks Like 🌾
You arrive at our family farm. Sergio, Celine, or one of the kids (Fiona, Xavier, or Zander) will meet you. The class space is a working farm, not a converted classroom. You will see the production grow rooms, the seed library, and the harvest space.
Adult classes spend most of the time on the bench with substrates, seeds, and a planted tray. Kids classes spend more time walking the farm and tasting. Either way, you leave having seen a working microgreen operation, not a polished demo.
