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 (mycellium)?
According to mycologist Paul Stamets, mycellium 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 will be filling this space slowly as we learn what our community needs and what kind of medicinal and edible mushrooms we should be producing and making available. Send us an email if you have any suggestions or join our mailing list if you'd like to be updated.

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.
