Our Premier Urban Farm in Rochester NY supplies sustainable year-round microgreens and more. We operate a 100% organic operation with limited climate impact, from seed to packaging.
The Problem
Many grocery stores in Rochester New York sell produce
grown in toxic soil 1,000s of miles away from us.
Herbicides, pesticides, and other chemicals made to stop bugs, artificially stimulate growth, and preserve shelf life bombard outdoor fields. Most produce after harvest travels an average 1500+ food miles and therefore loses its nutritional value. Additionally, many outdoor farms depend on fertilizer derived from natural gas.
Urban Gardens Are A Solution For Rochester New York.
Our urban farm in Rochester NY grows organic microgreens in the same city eating them, which therefore removes 99% of food miles. Moreover, it thrives with sustainable and renewable growing methods that produce up to 50% or more crops using less water. (Microgreens, Lettuces, Spices, etc.)
Learn about our growing process to see why our produce tastes better, and is better for you! Microgreens are low in fats, carbs, and protein; but high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. As a result, this makes them ideal for a variety of meal plans and nutritional therapy.
We’re apart of the coalition of urban farmers dedicated to improving the way we grow and distribute produce in urban communities. Rochester Microgreens currently operates inside a home-based farm in one of Rochester NY’s historic districts. We’re exploring expansion into a larger location, with a dream of having an entirely solar powered operation. Thanks for being with us!
Sincerely,
Rochester Microgreen Team
