“I really wanted to work for myself and I wanted to do something that would be good for me as well as be good for the community.”
Sarah Martin became interested in microgreens after trying to find relief from symptoms when she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. She had always enjoyed helping out on the family produce farm as a child and had a big backyard garden. After many different supplements she knew she needed to turn to real food. But what superfood can be grown reliably in Nebraska?! That is when she ran across the data showing the nutrient content of microgreens and decided to give it a try! She got the supplies - grow rack & lights - lots of seeds - trays - and soil...and then the seeds started to grow! After trying microgreens, she felt her inflammation and her symptoms lessen. It was then she realized just how important it was to provide this nutrient-dense food to her community.
Microgreens to your doorstep!
Now Sarah grows microgreens commercially for sale to the Grand Island community. You might be wondering - but what IS a microgreen??? Micro means extremely small and green refers to the leafy part of vegetables that are commonly eaten. So microgreens are just vegetable greens harvested when the plant is very young about 1-3 inches tall, after the cotyledons form (the first leaves of the plant). Third Day Microgreens grows sunflower, broccoli, radish, and a salad mix microgreens- a beautiful array of colors that add a boost of flavor and nutrition to any meal! Microgreens are eaten raw. Whether you are adding them to your smoothie, burger, or stir fry - your body will thank you! Some microgreen varieties are 40 times more nutritious than their full grown plant counterpart.
