Also known as: 1st Microgreenery

An urban microgreens farm in downtown Grand Rapids, MI — founded 2017 at the corner of First and Broadway NW. MAEAP-verified (Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program) and a Michigan On-Farm Produce Safety participant. Grows micro greens to order in living cups for restaurants, chefs, caterers, and customers with medical needs.

What they do

1st Micro Greenery is an urban microgreens farm at 433 Broadway Avenue NW in downtown Grand Rapids, MI. Founded 2017. Grows micro greens to order in living cups — customers receive the plants still alive and growing, at the nutritional peak of the seedling stage before the plant has expended energy on stem and leaf maturation.

Customer base:

  • Private chefs
  • Restaurants and caterers
  • Foodies and CSA-style household customers
  • Customers with medical needs — micro greens deliver concentrated nutrition for patients whose diets require it
  • Special events

Adjacent product lines: DIY microgreens kits (so customers can grow their own at home without specialized equipment or lighting), the “Mr Micro” kid-targeted educational kit, and an itch-relief tincture made from on-farm botanicals.

Why it’s listed

MAEAP-verified — the [[detroit|Michigan]] Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program is a third-party verification of environmental management practices (water quality, soil health, [[integrated-pest-management|integrated pest management]], on-farm food safety). Together with Michigan On-Farm Produce Safety participation, that’s two specific third-party verifications beyond the operator’s own marketing. The “living in-cup” harvest protocol is also a substantive editorial choice — the farm could pre-cut and bag like grocery microgreens, but doesn’t, because cut microgreens lose half their nutritional density within days.
