One of a kind service delivers locally grown microgreens.
Also available for local pick up beginning on January 10th at the Riverdale Y Sunday Market.
What are Microgreens?
Microgreens are made from veggies that have been harvested before maturation, which is typically from 7 to 14 days after germination. The end result is a much smaller green that is one to three inches tall, with a more intense flavor and highly concentrated nutrient profile. These tiny version are packed with all of the vitamins and minerals you’d find in a full-grown plant or herb, making these a bonafide superfood! By just adding a small amount to salads, wraps, sushi, bowls, dips or smoothies it can instantly boost the nutritional value of what you are eating.

What are the benefits of mushrooms (mycelium)?
According to mycologist Paul Stamets, mycelium can save the world. The benefits of mycelium are numerous but one of the most recognizable forms are mushrooms, the fruiting body of mycelium. Known for its antiviral capabilities, a diet rich in mushrooms (eaten and in tinctures) is bound to prepare your immune system for any health issues common in our modern era.
We now offer Turkey-Tail and Reishi mushroom tinctures!

Our Story
Mi(crogreens) Oh My(celium) Farms is worker-owned, producing 100% organic and delicious microgreens and mushrooms. Produced locally in The Bronx, our mission is to provide our customers with a high-quality product at a low-cost while promoting healthy diets and lifestyles. The Bronx is adversely affected by a shortage of organic produce and healthy alternatives. We envision a renaissance in organic and healthy food alternatives grown locally, powering a local economy that can provide alternative means of buying food and earning an income. As a worker-owned business, every one of our growers earns a living wage, sharing the risks and profits of the business. Supporting worker cooperatives means you are saying no to the exploitation of labor and yes to the empowerment of workers.
Where to Buy Our Products
Our delicious microgreens are grown in the Bronx for Bronxites. Starting January 10th, we will be offering our microgreens for pick up only at the Riverdale Y Market.
Sunday Market Selections
New for this year, the Riverdale Y Sunday Market is organizing a preorder/pickup service for our customers during the winter months. We understand that people want fresh food throughout the year, and we appreciate that you want to continue buying that food from your favorite vendors at the Market.
How will the process work?
Customers will contact the vendors individually to preorder items, pay in advance, and then pick up their orders on the following Sunday between 11:30am and 1:30pm at the same location as the Market (Riverdale Temple parking lot, 4545 Independence Avenue).
Order by January 9th and pick up on January 10th.
