Our Mission
Why Microgreens?
Microgreens are nutritional powerhouses—packed with 40 times more nutrients than fully grown vegetables. For people experiencing food insecurity, every bite counts. Our microgreens provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support health and healing. They're also year-round available, grow quickly, and require minimal resources—making them the perfect solution for fighting malnutrition in our community.
Who We Serve
We partner with homeless shelters, food banks, community meal programs, and social service organizations throughout Greater Portland, Maine. Our donations go directly to people experiencing homelessness, food insecurity, and economic hardship. We work closely with shelter directors and program coordinators to understand their needs and ensure our contributions make a real difference.
Sustainability Meets Social Justice
Our sustainable farming practices—minimal water use, no pesticides, year-round indoor growing—aren't just good for the environment. They allow us to produce abundant, affordable, nutritious food. We reinvest our profits directly into expanding our donations and building deeper partnerships with organizations doing critical work in our community.
