At this time we are currently still a small farm, due to this we do not ship microgreens or edible flowers at this time. As we grow we continue to expand, this policy is subject to change in the future.
We deliver our microgreens in insulated bags & crates, we do not provide coolers but will provide disposable ice upon request, product will always travel chilled until arriving at its destination.
For standing orders we can supply designated reusable coolers to drop off your greens in.
*Roots and Shoots is not responsible for improper storage once the greens leave our hands*
While we may occasionally have extra trays available from certain harvests [seen on fresh sheet in fresh sheet tab], our focus is always on growing specifically for your order. This ensures you receive premium, soil-grown microgreens that haven’t spent a single unnecessary day in storage. Our harvests are twice a week, anything available on the fresh sheet is updated on Wednesday's & Fridays. Please be aware quantities and varieties available for immediate purchase are limited. We find it is best to place standing orders ensuring you will receive your freshly harvested greens without having to think about it!

Freshness Promise; Growing with integrity
At Roots and Shoots, we believe the best flavor starts at the root. That's why all of our microgreens and edible flowers are grown in nutrient rich soil vs the hydroponic method. Soil grown develops deeper flavor, vibrant color, and better shelf life. Although not yet certified, we use natural organic methods & additives like organic Gia Green fertilizer to nourish our crops. We do not use synthetic chemicals or artificial boosters. We grow in an indoor eco-conscious climate controlled environment which allows sustainability and consistency while minimizing the risk of pests and diseases. We harvest your microgreens and edible flowers to order, ensuring they arrive vibrant, flavorful, and at peak nutrition.

As a farm founded by a former chef, we understand the importance of flavor, texture, and visual appeal on the plate. That's why we offer more than just greens, we offer a creative partnership. "Let's Keep Creativity Rooted in Freshness"

We take care to ensure that every batch of microgreens and edible flowers leaves our farm fresh, vibrant, and at peak quality.

From planting to packaging to delivery, we handle every step with precision and pride, so you receive nothing but the best.
Small Batch, High Attention.
Your trust means everything to us- we are here to grow for you!
What are microgreens? Why should you use them?
Microgreens are tiny versions of mature plants typically harvested after their cotyledons or first true leaves appear. They are typically grown indoors using sustainable and eco- conscious farming techniques allowing them to be produced consistently and year-round while minimizing the risks of pests and diseases. These tiny but mighty greens support the future of agriculture, local farming, and a greener, healthier future for the world around us.
These may be small, but the pack a powerhouse of nutrition, typically 3 to 40 times more nutrition than its mature form has. Due to being harvested as a seedling they still contain much of the stored energy and nutrients from the seed. At this stage plants are rapidly growing so they’re packed with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants in a concentrated form. They are also vibrantly colored and full of flavor, allowing them to be extremely versatile across the food industry. Each variety has benefits including cancer prevention, chronic illness prevention, immune support and promotes an overall healthy and vital lifestyle.
Think of getting all your vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients by eating a small portion of the daily amount suggested for greens. Less is more with microgreens, and the benefits far outweigh their mature forms.
