Organic Microgreens Varieties
Grown in Oswego, IL
What are microgreens? This is a question we get all the time and never get tired of explaining. Microgreens are miniature versions of vegetables and herbs. Typically, they are harvested just after their first “true leaves” appear. This means they are harvested while still “micro” or before they become full-grown plants. At Homegrown Health Farms, we grow all of our microgreen varieties with organic methods in soil on vertical racks located on our farm in Oswego, IL. Microgreens are easy to grow and require minimal space, making them perfect for home gardeners and urban dwellers alike. Microgreens boast concentrated nutrients, intense flavor, versatility, and year-round availability. This is why we started Homegrown Health Farms. We want to share our love for these nutritious and delicious microgreens. Below you can read more about the varieties we currently offer. Our inventory can change seasonally, so be sure to visit our store often to stay up to date on our latest microgreens varieties.

Pea Shoots
What are Pea Shoots? Pea shoots are tender, edible shoots of young pea plants that taste just like freshly picked peas from the vine. When harvested as a shoot, they boast a vibrant green color and hold their crisp texture. Pea shoots can be served many ways. They can hold their own as a salad base, or add color and crunch to a stir fry or pasta dish.
Tasting Notes: crisp and sweet, just like fresh peas
Nutritional Value: a great source of beta carotene, vitamins A and C, folate, and fiber

Micro Radish packs a powerful punch! If you are a spice-lover, you will get a kick out of their bold taste. Micro Radish comes from the early harvest of the radish plant, and it is just as peppery as its adult version.
