How We Grow Microgreens
Grown on an indoor, climate-controlled, vertical farm in Cape Coral, FL. Living Greens Urban Farm uses only organic seeds, OMRI-certified coco coir, and never any pesticides or chemicals.
We grow to order; we require a three-week lead time on fresh red amaranth microgreens orders because they need a little more time before harvest than the average microgreen.
Care & Storage
Rinse before use, only what you're using. Microgreens need to remain dry to stay fresh longer. They will last up to 14 days in the refrigerator in an air-tight container kept dry.
**Regarding local delivery policy
These amazingly fresh microgreens are meant to be consumed soon after harvest. To ensure the absolute best freshness, we only offer our live microgreens to local customers within a 20-mile radius. (Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and surrounding areas).Â
Please note, if live microgreens are added to the cart, and a local delivery method is not available, the order will be canceled.
