Why It's Called the Farmers Blend 🌿

Every week, we look at what's growing, what's thriving, and what's at peak flavor. Then we combine whatever is at its absolute best into one blend. That means your Farmers Blend from this week will be completely different from next week's.

The only constant is a base of sunflowers or pea shoots. Everything else rotates based on what the farm is producing. Sometimes that includes seasonal surprises like corn microgreens or wasabi.

This is how a real farmer eats. Whatever is freshest, whatever is best. No menu, no planning. Just trust the grower.

"What if you didn't have to choose which microgreen to try, and instead got the best of whatever is growing right now?" 🤔

WHAT YOU MIGHT GET

The Farmers Blend Pulls From Four Plant Families

Every blend always has a leafy base (Sunnies or Pea Shoots). The other three categories rotate based on what is at peak each week. Across a year of blends, you eat from all four families, which is the canonical "plant diversity" approach to nutrition.

🌻

Leafy Base

Always present, provides bulk and protein.

The foundation. Every Farmers Blend has either Sunnies (sunflower) or Sweet Pea Shoots as the bulk base. Both bring complete plant protein, thick juicy stems, and a mild flavor that lets the other families shine.

  • • Sunflower (Sunnies) — nutty crunch, complete protein
  • • Sweet Pea Shoots — sweet fresh flavor, 20% protein, omega-3
  • • Sometimes added: Kale, Swiss Chard
🥦

Cruciferous Family

Sulforaphane, glucosinolates, anti-inflammation.

The detox family. Brassicas like broccoli and cabbage deliver the sulforaphane and glucosinolate compounds that drive much of the published microgreen nutrition research. Most blends include at least one cruciferous variety.

  • • Broccoli — up to 100x sulforaphane vs mature
  • • Red Cabbage — six vitamin groups, vivid purple
  • • Sometimes added: Mustard, Arugula
🔴

Root and Peppery

The accent layer. Pepper, color, surprise.

The bite. Radish and daikon families bring a gentle to sharp peppery kick that wakes up the blend. Beet brings ruby-red color and earthy sweetness. These rotate based on harvest and season.

  • • Daikon Radish — gentle peppery, white stems
  • • Spicy Radish — bold wasabi-like heat, magenta stems
  • • Beet — earthy sweet, ruby red stems
  • • Sometimes added: Turnip, Carrot
🌿

Herb Family

The aromatic layer. Brightness and complexity.

The flavor finisher. When the farm has herbs at peak, they go into the blend. These bring the aromatic top notes that turn a blend from "a bowl of greens" into a composed flavor.

  • • Cilantro — bright citrusy herbal
  • • Basil — sweet aromatic Italian
  • • Dill — fresh anise-like
  • • Sometimes added: Fennel, Chives, Red Clover
  • • Seasonal surprises: Corn, Wasabi, Cantaloupe

This is a sample of what might appear in the blend. The actual contents vary week to week based on what is at peak harvest.

WHY VARIETY

Eating Across Plant Families Beats Eating One Variety on Repeat

Every microgreen variety carries a different mix of vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Sunflower delivers Vitamin E and complete protein. Broccoli delivers sulforaphane. Radish delivers glucosinolates. Cilantro delivers chelation compounds. No single variety covers everything.

The Farmers Blend solves that. Eating from 3 to 5 plant families in one bowl is the canonical nutritionist recommendation, and the blend does it for you without you thinking about it. The farmer rotates what is in the blend across the year, which means you eat broadly across the spectrum of microgreen nutrition.

This is the difference between buying one variety repeatedly (predictable, narrower nutrient profile) and trusting the farmer to mix you something new (variable, broader nutrient profile). Different problem, different answer.

SHELF LIFE & STORAGE

How Long Does the Farmers Blend Last?

2 to 3 weeks refrigerated at 38 to 40 °F for most varieties. If your blend contains radish or daikon, use that portion within the first 10 days for peak peppery flavor.

❄️

Refrigerate Immediately

The whole 8-ounce bag goes straight into the crisper drawer when it arrives. Microgreens are living tissue. Every hour at room temperature shortens shelf life.

🔴

Use Peppery Varieties First

If you see radish, daikon, or mustard in your blend, use that portion in the first 10 days. The volatile mustard oils that create the peppery bite soften gradually with time.

💨

Paper Towel If Transferring

If you move the blend to a different container, lay a dry paper towel underneath. It wicks excess moisture and keeps the leaves crisp through the full 2 to 3 weeks.

If you run out of fresh-use ideas by day 10, blend the rest of the bag into the Universal Microgreen Pesto (recipe above). The pesto holds another 7 days under olive oil and extends the blend into the second half of the fridge life.

Frequently Asked Questions 🌾

What is in the Farmers Blend?

It changes every week. Always has a base of sunflowers or pea shoots, with seasonal varieties rotated in. Sometimes that includes corn or wasabi microgreens.

How much is the Farmers Blend?

$20 for 8oz. Harvested within 24 hours of delivery for peak freshness.

Are the Farmers Blend microgreens pesticide-free?

Yes. All microGREEN FX microgreens are grown pesticide-free with USDA Organic seeds in SE Pennsylvania.

Can I choose what goes in my Farmers Blend?

No, and that's the beauty of it! The grower curates each blend based on what's at peak freshness and flavor that week. Trust the grower.

How is the Farmers Blend different from the Smoothie Blend?

The Smoothie Blend is a fixed recipe designed for blending. The Farmers Blend changes every week and is designed for eating fresh on salads, sandwiches, and more.

How long do the microgreens in the Farmers Blend last?

Most varieties last 2 to 3 weeks refrigerated in a sealed container at 38 to 40 °F. If your blend includes radish or daikon, use that portion within the first 10 days for peak peppery flavor.

Why does the blend change every week?

Because that's how a real farm operates. Different varieties hit peak harvest at different times. Some weeks the radish bed peaks, some weeks the dill is at the top of its window. The Farmers Blend captures whatever is at peak that exact week, instead of forcing us to over-grow varieties to meet a fixed recipe.

How is the Farmers Blend different from the Collegeville Sampler?

The Collegeville Sampler is a fixed 4-variety pack (Sunnies, Sweet Pea Shoots, Broccoli, Daikon Radish) at $20, designed for first-time buyers who want to learn their preferences. The Farmers Blend is an 8-ounce single-bag mix that changes every week, designed for people who already know they love microgreens and want plant variety in their weekly diet.

What microgreen families might be in the blend?

Across a year of weekly Farmers Blends, you can expect rotating draws from: leafy (sunflower, pea shoots, kale, swiss chard), cruciferous (broccoli, red cabbage, kohlrabi, mustard), root and peppery (daikon, radish, turnip, beet), and herb (cilantro, basil, dill, fennel, chives). Seasonal specialties (corn, wasabi, cantaloupe) appear when available.

Can chefs and restaurants order the Farmers Blend?

Yes. Many chefs prefer the Farmers Blend specifically because it varies week to week, which keeps their plates evolving with the season. Contact us for restaurant pricing and standing weekly orders.
