"Our Mission is to get the Irish consumer to know about the wonders of Microgreens and to give them a Super-nutricious High Quality Local Product"

Today, we completed an expansion plan that started back in January.

What began as a vision is now a reality 💚

We’ve increased our growing capacity from 1 to 4 growing levels, allowing us to grow more organic microgreens while staying true to the quality and care we believe in.

As far as we know, this makes us one of the largest organic microgreens farms in Ireland — and possibly Europe 🌍🌱

This new greenhouse means:
✔️ A better, more reliable service for our customers
✔️ The ability to reach new kitchens and homes
✔️ Improved growing and working conditions
✔️ A tidier, cleaner, and safer space for our team and plants

We’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come and grateful for everyone who supports what we do.

✨ Looking forward to what 2026 has in store for us ✨

Radish microgreens may be tiny, but they pack a bold, peppery flavour that instantly lifts any dish 🌱
Naturally rich in vitamins like C and antioxidants, they’re harvested young when flavour and freshness are at their best.
Chefs love them for adding a fresh kick to eggs, salads, fish, sandwiches, and hearty dishes that need a little contrast.
So small — yet they truly wake up every plate 💚

🌱🥦 Broccoli microgreens are my favourite microgreens — I love their mild flavour and how versatile they are in everyday meals.

And the best part? My little man loves them too 🥰

Today, after reading more about their benefits, I couldn’t be happier that these little greens are part of our lives 💚

So, how Broccoli Fights Cavities?

Biofilm Disruption: Compounds like DIM (Diindolylmethane) from broccoli destroy the sticky bacterial films (biofilms) that lead to plaque and decay.

Antimicrobial Action: Sulforaphane, another broccoli compound, has antimicrobial properties that target S. mutans, a primary cavity-causing bacteria.

Enamel Remineralization: Broccoli extract has shown effectiveness in helping to repair and strengthen tooth enamel.

Natural Scrubbing & Saliva: Chewing raw broccoli physically scrapes plaque off teeth and boosts saliva, which washes away food and acids.

Rich in Minerals: Broccoli provides calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, vital for strong teeth and bones. 

They don’t replace brushing, but they’re definetly a great add-on 🦷

Happiness is... having tortillas on the menu!
One of the best things my nutritionist told me: "The food you eat should make you happy."

This beautiful taco is part of the menus that my nutritionist gave me as part of my journey towards my ideal weight, and it's a reminder that balance and joy can absolutely go hand in hand.

Made with a blue corn @ tortilla, sautéed mushrooms, and topped with a vibrant handful of microgreens — this meal is nourishing, satisfying, and full of flavour.

Eating well isn't about restriction — it's about choosing meals that fuel your goals and your happiness.
