Growing JOY

Why do we promote microgreens so much? Read the following article from NC State about broccoli microgreens and cancer.

There are many other studies being performed throughout the country showing benefits from cancer to blood sugar levels to cholesterol to blood flow, etc. These little veggies can contain up to 40x the nutrient content as their mature plant.

Healthy, fresh and nutrient dense is what these offer. An added benefit for the way we grow in conjunction with is that these are grown hydroponically (in water) in a confined indoor space. No worry of harmful soil born pathogens. No contamination from outsiders. Just clean, fresh, healthy microgreens.

We will be doing a series on microgreens in the coming weeks showcasing growing, harvesting, how to use these little plants, benefits, etc so get ready and get excited!!!! Ask your questions now and we will respond and include in the series.

Happy Friday! It’s easier to eat your veggies when they look this good.

These beauts were just pulled (these are about 1/20th of the bed) and will be delivered this afternoon. We grow everything from seeds and use regenerative agriculture techniques. No short cuts. Just good, clean produce. You aren't finding much like this on the grocery store shelf!

Carrots are always a fam favorite!

We get to celebrate a lot at the farm- from birthdays, to awards, to ceremonies, to our amazing employees and even galas.

Today, we got to celebrate in a little different way. Our little is getting married this weekend.

Cheers to a lifetime of happiness and spreading JOY.

The best gifts aren't bought, they're grown. From the soil to the bloom, it takes care, time, and patience… just like everything mom's give us every day. Happy Mother's Day from Growing JOY!

We have a surplus of lettuce. If you want to taste the different, try our fresh, aquaponically grown lettuce today. Great for salads, sandwiches, wraps, etc or just snack on it straight from the container.

Chester peeps, Come by and grab a container.

Our latest project (I have been trying to get this done for like 2 years) was finished just before the rain. We are now capturing rain water runoff from the greenhouse so we can water our plants. The rain we received last night yielded us about 700 gallons. We are hoping to set up another storage tank with small tanks that feed drip lines to our growbeds to make watering a little more efficient while also utilizing the magic that falls from the sky. These things take time, but the progress we are making is pretty substantial. We want to be good stewards of everything that we have.

Spreading JOY one drop at a time!!!!
