What people are saying Real subscribers, real neighborhoods
Tyler, the head farmer, inspecting trays of greens
“I shook Tyler's hand in the actual greenhouse and watched him pull a head of butter lettuce — for me — out of the soil. I'll never look at a salad the same way.”
Sarah M. · Lyon Village
Tray of radish microgreens with bright pink stems
“The radish tasted like a radish should taste. I didn't know that was a thing.”
Devon P. · Ballston
Kids and parents on a farm tour
“We came as skeptics. We left as subscribers. Our kids actually eat the greens now.”
