Grown to Order, Freshly Delivered

We’re a "Grow-to-Order" farm, meaning we plant your microgreens the day you place your order, depending on seed availability. This isn’t grab-and-go produce—it’s personalized, peak-freshness food.

  • Lead Time: Depending on the variety, greens are ready within 10–30 days. Fast-growing types like radish and peas are harvest-ready quickly, while herbs like basil take their time to flourish.
  • Weekly Delivery: We can accommodate weekly deliveries of your favorite greens.
  • Eco-Friendly Delivery: Your microgreens arrive in the same 100% food-safe trays they were grown in—no unnecessary repackaging, just fresh, living greens with minimal waste. We will pick up the trays after use. 

Staff Training Included (Because Freshness Is a Team Effort)

When we deliver your first order, we’ll train your staff on:

  • Proper storage techniques to extend shelf life
  • Handling tips to preserve flavor and texture
  • Creative uses to make microgreens shine on every plate

Because when you know how to handle microgreens, you unlock their full potential—ensuring every dish is as fresh as it is flavorful.

How to Grow Microgreens at Home with Shindig Kits

Welcome! You’ve just taken home a Shindig DIY Microgreens Kit. In about 7–14 days, you’ll be cutting your own fresh greens to add to every meal.

No garden required. No soil. No waste. Just clean, flavorful greens—grown right in your kitchen.

What’s in Your Kit

  • Reusable grow tray sets (2 - base and lid)
  • Compostable coconut coir pad (4)
  • Seeds (Broccoli, Leek, Salad Mix & Radish)
  • Spray bottle

You’ll also need: clean water (pH of 6-6.5 is ideal - Voss & Smart Water are two bottled water brands within this range), small plate for each tray, a sunny windowsill or grow light.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Prepare the Tray
    Soak coconut coir pads in hot water overnight. Place one coconut coir pad in the tray with holes in it.

  • Sow the Seeds
    Sprinkle seeds evenly across the pad in a single, even layer. Each pack is the perfect amount for one pad.

  • Cover to Germinate
    Mist well, then cover the tray with the lid placed upside down to block light. Place the microgreens on a plate so any water is not lost. Leave covered for 3-4 days until seeds sprout. Mist 2 times daily to keep the seeds and pad moist, but not soggy.

  • Uncover & Add Light
    Once sprouted, and leaves can't be contained by the cover, remove the cover. Place tray in indirect sunlight or under a grow light. Pour water on the plate so the roots can soak it up; no more misting at this point.

  • Grow
    Over the next week, watch your greens take off! Water daily so the microgreens do not dry out.

  • Harvest
    When microgreens are 2–3 inches tall and their first true leaves are open, snip with clean scissors just above the roots. Harvest fresh as you need them.

Tips for Success

  • When microgreens are Harvest just before eating for the best flavor.
  • Living trays last longer than pre-cut greens—keep them on your counter in a bright spot.
  • For mold prevention: avoid over-watering and keep in a well-ventilated space.
  • Once microgreens are ready to harvest, they will keep for up to one more week. Continue watering daily to ensure they stay hydrated a vibrant.

FAQs

What is that fuzzy hair at the base of my microgreens?

Great news—it’s not mold! Those tiny, hair-like strands are micro root hairs, and they help your microgreens absorb water. If you’re growing hydroponically, these are especially common and completely natural.
