Frequently Asked Questions
What are microgreens?
Microgreens are young edible plants — vegetables, herbs, or flowers — harvested 7 to 21 days after germination, once the first true leaves appear. They pack concentrated flavor and nutrients in a few centimeters of growth and finish a plate the way a fully grown herb rarely can.
How do I store microgreens?
Keep them in their sealed clamshell, refrigerated at 2–5°C, away from ethylene-producing fruit and strong-smelling ingredients. Most varieties hold 5–10 days; delicate ones like borage are best used within 48 hours of delivery. Don't rinse until right before service.
Can I request a custom order?
Yes. Tell us your weekly volume, delivery day, and the varieties you want — we plan sowings a week in advance, so standing orders and one-off event orders can both be accommodated. Request wholesale pricing and we'll confirm availability within one business day.
What happens if I'm not home at the time of delivery?
Wholesale deliveries are to the kitchen door during posted hours, not residential drop-offs — we coordinate with your receiver directly. If no one is available at the scheduled window we hold the order at 2–5°C and reroute on the next delivery day. Let us know the best receiving window when you set up the standing order.
