Question 1

What are the benefits of growing microgreens hydroponically?

Accepted Answer

Hydroponic growing uses up to 90% less water than traditional farming, requires no pesticides and gives full control over nutrients and climate. The result is cleaner, more consistent microgreens of higher quality — all year round.

Question 2

How are microgreens grown at Grow Up Farm?

Accepted Answer

We grow indoors in closed climate chambers, in stacked layers, entirely without soil. Seeds are sown in a sustainable growing medium, germinate in a controlled climate and grow under LED light with precise nutrition via our closed water loop.

Question 3

How long does it take to grow microgreens?

Accepted Answer

Most of our varieties are ready for harvest 7–14 days after sowing. Some varieties, like red shiso, need up to 18 days to develop their full flavor and color.

Question 4

Is the packaging for Grow Up Farm microgreens sustainable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our packaging for living pea shoots was named "Best in Class" at Hispack 2022 and recognized as one of Europe’s best packaging projects. We continually work to reduce plastic and increase recyclability across the range.

Question 5

Where can I buy microgreens from Grow Up Farm?

Accepted Answer

Question 6

Do you offer white label / private label?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We grow, pack and deliver microgreens under your own brand — with customized packaging, labels and formats. Contact us for options and pricing.

Question 7

How long do microgreens stay fresh?

Accepted Answer

Our living microgreens typically keep 6–8 days refrigerated. Because the plant is delivered living with its roots, it retains freshness, flavor and nutrition significantly longer than cut greens.

Question 8

What exactly are microgreens?

Accepted Answer

Microgreens are young, edible plants harvested 7–18 days after germination, once the first leaves have developed. They often contain significantly higher concentrations of vitamins and antioxidants than the mature plant — and an intense, concentrated flavor.
