Basil. 🌿 The herb that makes everything better.

Sweet, fragrant, and incredibly versatile. Fresh basil is one of those ingredients that transforms a dish the moment it touches it. And ours? It's on another level.

🌱 WHY 5N2 BASIL IS DIFFERENT

Grown indoors in Scarborough with 95% less water than traditional farming. No pesticides. No herbicides. Harvested within 24–48 hours of delivery. This isn't grocery store basil wilting in a plastic clamshell. This is ALIVE when it arrives at your door.

💚 WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOUR BODY

✔ Rich in Vitamin K: supports bone health
✔ Packed with antioxidants: fights inflammation
✔ Natural antibacterial properties
✔ Source of Vitamin A, iron & calcium
✔ Anti-inflammatory essential oils: good for your gut

🍽️ 5 WAYS TO USE FRESH BASIL

1. Torn over a Caprese salad with fresh tomato & mozzarella
2. Blended into a homemade pesto and use with pasta, pizza, or sandwiches
3. Dropped into a bowl of tomato soup right before serving
4. Muddled into a lemonade or cocktail for a fresh twist 🍋
5. Layered into a grilled cheese or flatbread for an instant upgrade

Pro tip: Never chop basil with a knife, just tear it by hand to keep the oils intact and the flavour bright. ✨

Fresh. Local. Grown with purpose. 💚

Most people don't know this about us. 🌿 5N2 didn't start as a farm. We started as a soup kitchen — feeding people in Scarborough who had nowhere else to turn.

Then in 2023, we installed two vertical hydroponic farms through sponsorship support.

We thought: what if growing food could get us on a path to self-sustainability? What if a subscription to fresh greens could support our free meal and pantry programs?

That's the business we built. Buy greens. Feed community.

It's that simple — and that powerful.

Quick question: How old is the lettuce in your fridge right now? 🤔

Most grocery store greens travel 3,000+ km before they reach you — spending days in cold storage, losing nutrients along the way.

Ours? Harvested in Scarborough. In your hands within 24–48 hours. Still technically alive when you open the box.

We're not saying throw out your groceries. We're just saying... there's a better option. 🌱
