There is still time to have your order submitted for the next delivery of Thursday October 29th! Just so happens to be my birthday so I will be spending it delivering fresh Microgreens lol!

Order on the website form by tomorrow morning (Friday morning) and you will lock in for Oct 29 delivery between 4-6pm. Delivery is free on orders $20 and greater or 3 packs and up.

www.themicrogreenkitchen.com

After that, delivery days will be switching back to Sundays instead of Thursdays starting in November. Nov 15th and 29th are the next two scheduled delivery dates after October 29th.

I will update the forms and website this weekend and thank you for your understanding and flexibility. With the market over, I accepted a job offer in Aurora and will be going back to work in Quality. I am trying the afternoon shift out to be able to continue running the business for local customers. All existing customers have been notified by text of the upcoming changes.

Get your new order in by Friday morning to have those changes or orders delivered Oct 29th!

Thank you everyone for your support and believing in the Microgreen Kitchen! I do not plan on going anywhere, just need to make sure I can afford to stay here lol!

Have a great weekend! THOMAS

It's been a wild 72 hours but before I forget, there is a limited quantity of Microgreen Kitchen fresh packs loaded at Blackberry Lane Farm for this weekend!

There are multiple packs of red cabbage, sunflower, and speckled Pea. Also some single packs of spicy salad mix and a radish mix.

They are open again tomorrow I believe at 10am as well as Sunday as well as Monday during their normal business hours.

Of course there are other amazing products from local small businesses at their farmstand so head on over to check it out this weekend!

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

ATTENTION! There is still time to place your order for October 15th delivery!

Normally orders would have needed to be in by this morning but I am still dog sitting and tomorrow will be a better solution to keep things perfectly sanitary and clean for planting. So if you want to change your existing order or place a new order, please submit an order form on the website! www.themicrogreenkitchen.com

Anyone with a Channahon or Minooka address already qualifies for Free Delivery if your order is $20 or greater! If you are curious if your address is within the required 10 miles, just GPS it from 25207 W Channon Dr, Channahon, IL 60410! 10.0 miles or less and 3 packs or $20 and greater will guarantee Free Delivery!

I deliver on Thursday evenings between 4-6:30pm. Customers are asked to place a small cooler out front so I can ring the bell and place them inside the cooler for anyone to grab and hopefully get inside a refrigerator asap.

Thank you everyone for your support as this week was a record setting delivery and harvest. I am still recovering lol!

Greatly appreciate all of your support

Market season ended so my folks took advantage and I'm on dog duty for an extended week. Nice change of pace to be honest and stoked to see them enjoying themselves! Not very microgreen but health and wellness is more than nutrient dense foods!

Last chance will be tomorrow, Monday until 6pm to grab packs of Microgreen Kitchen microgreens from Blackberry Lane Farm!

The weather was a turd this weekend and severely interrupted business hours at the farmstand so I am sure there are still plenty. I will not be restocking the farmstand for a couple weeks, potentially longer as schedules and weather are going to be an issue and I will go back to the drawing board for some good solutions. I know I had several customers wanting a Plainfield pickup location which I have been brainstorming. That will require orders to be placed ahead of time, so please just reach out if that is the option you would like to see. I will be bringing some packs out to a friend there in a couple weeks so just let me know if your interested.

Packs are loaded at the Farmstand in Channahon and are self-serve tomorrow with Blackberry Lane Farm. They are open until 6pm and are located at 25649 S. Blackberry Ln in Channahon. Your support means a lot right now as the farm is going through some adjustments. I think it will be best to pull inward and focus on improving the farm for larger scale than it is to take on more with my current setup. So I am not sure when the next time the farmstand will be stocked. Customers are always welcome to place orders for local delivery, that is always locked in!

I started two new seed varieties but they will need to be tested and proved out before I offer anything to the public.

They are Cilantro and Arugula!

Both will be single variety trays grown and packed individually. The cilantro is incredible tasting and such a good crop for so many dishes! I never spent too much time on it as I focused on the life changing varieties first, but cilantro does have so amazing features!

Arugula is a brassica so within the same family as broccoli and cabbage. Everything brassica is incredible for our diets. The flavor is a punch of peppery goodness that should make it a popular variety if you like the spicy salad mix and want even more flavor.

I am waiting patiently for my favorite seed supplier to stock new spicy and Mild Salad Mixes so I am hoping those start producing some of the best spicy salad mixes again, good seed has been a nightmare to source without going through the conglomerates!

New Sunflower and radish are being planted tomorrow for local customers! The new broccoli will be arriving later in the week and will be on the next round after the 1st of October. I did get this broccoli seed to start producing better so you should have some great broccoli either way!

What is a microgreen variety you would like to see stocked here at Microgreen Kitchen?

Popcorn Shoots?

Beets?

Mustard?

More mixes?

Let me know please!

Thank you for your support everyone and I am not going anywhere, just taking my foot off the gas and investing in the grow operation.

The website has been updated but just a quick revision. I aim to make time next week to create the variety page which will detail the ingredients of each mix, the nutrition profile, and interesting facts on each variety. Doing every single thing with this business on my own has definitely left a lot to be desired but I hope the quality and locality of my products make up for those gaps. More info to come soon, have to go plant now!

Anyone who orders by this evening will still make the next delivery of October 1st!

Thank you everyone for your support!

Packs have been dropped off and loaded up at Blackberry Lane Farm!

I was able to drop off 9 packs of broccoli!
Sunflower and Cantaloupe multiple packs!
A few packs of Mild Salad Mix, and a pack of red cabbage, radish, kale, and even a spicy salad mix!

They're open through Monday and their farmstand is self serve! They even have multiple parking spots which make it feel just like stopping at the corner store!

They are incredible people and have been great to work with!

Stop by BlackBerry Lane this weekend and get fresh microgreen packs grown locally!

Zero pesticides, zero chemicals sprayed over them, grown on a living super soil! Never hydroponic and never harvested days before you pick them up!

I was even able to cut the broccoli the same day I dropped it off!

Thank you for your support!

How do you use or eat them?
- No wrong answers!
Only thing to follow is to eat them raw! That way you get the anti-inflammatory properties and the most out of them! Anytime you apply heat to vegetables, you destroy the sensitive compounds that have the power to heal!

Put them on avocado toast

Put them in a smoothie

Put them in a salad

Make a salad out of them

Put them on a BLT instead of diarrhea lettuce!

Put them on scrambled eggs (recommend
spicy salad mix)

Put them on a burger

Put them on a chicken salad or tuna salad wrap/sandwich

Put them on everything! No wrong answers!

Harvest day!
www.themicrogreenkitchen dot com
(FB doesn't allow links more than 2x a month😒)

I promise I will update the website in the following days. I am super informal and just shoot me a message or text if you would like to order! The website helps me gather the necessary info for the invoices but I can handle that if you would like to just message me!

Things are looking soooo much better! A lesson in humility for sure. Makes me think I was being tested by the big guy upstairs!

I hope you enjoy them!

Please place coolers outside the front door tomorrow for Thursday evening delivery.

Interested in Microgreens and not already signed up for recurring orders from Microgreen Kitchen ? Feel free to reach out! You can set your order to recur every 2 or 4 weeks and it takes all the lead time and forgetfulness out of the equation! You may also place a single order anytime, there will be a 2 week lead time for me to grow the specific order but I will contact you shortly after the form is submitted with a delivery date!

Thank you everyone for your support!

Friendly reminder tomorrow is local delivery and to please have small coolers or containers outside to receive your microgreen orders. This helps keep things streamlined and ensures the last addresses on my delivery route receive their order within the delivery window they signed up for. Thank you for your understanding and support! Personally pretty stoked on the quality of this cycle's greens! The quality of ingredients, supplies, and resources have reduced drastically around me this year. Soils, nutrients, amendments, and even label paper have fallen off a cliff when it comes to reliability and quality compared to years previously. I have sourced new ingredients and materials so I hope you can tell the difference! Thomas
