And Sow It Grows Local
HOLIDAY NOTICE. As Balfron Market is shutting up shop for a well-earned break for a couple of weeks and lots of you are away we have taken the decision to have a short break as well. Growing microgreens is a 7 day a week commitment and as we have both recently had our second jab, we have decided to take some time to go back home and visit our family, whom we haven’t seen in person for a very long time. Therefore, we will be closed for the following three markets 22/23, 29/30 July and 5/6 August. If you would like to order extra micros to see you through this time then please add those to your order for the last market on 15/16 July. Fresh micros should last for a couple of weeks, if stored correctly in your airtight container. Please note that you also have the option of powdered microgreens, wheatgrass and garlic chives, which are also a great option. You will be able to pre-order your micros for the markets on 12/13 August. We hope that you have a great summer break and look forward to getting back to growing lots more gorgeous microgreens for you soon. Sarah & Andy x
We are Sarah and Andy your local microgreens farmers. Our fundamental ethos is to produce high quality food, grown very close to where it will be consumed, in a sustainable way, that uses the smallest possible amount of resources. Microgreens are tiny vegetables that are picked when they are tender seedlings, between 7 and 14 days after germination (larger than a sprout and smaller than a baby leaf). We have chosen our favourite microgreens for not only their taste but also their vitamins and nutrients and visual interest.
Micros are very versatile and can be used in a sandwich or wrap, in a smoothie or a stir-fry, or sprinkled liberally onto your plate of food. We grow them all year round which also makes them perfect to fill hungry-gaps. We use only the very best quality untreated, organic certified seeds and compost (even recycling used coffee grounds) and a splash of seaweed nutrients, with minimal use of distilled water and LED lighting. Our packaging is also minimal and is even made from plants so they are completely compostable too! Why not give a boost to your immune system and take control of your food security today?
