2018 UPDATE
Now located on a 32-acre farm in Bridgehampton, NY, and growing over 30 varieties of microgreens, we are more excited than ever about the process of creating food, the exploration of new varieties, and the potent health benefits of microgreens. We are proudly certified Biodynamic Demeter-USA / Stellar / USDA certified organic / HACCP verified and continue a proactive role in supporting productive food certification processes on Long Island and across the nation.
PURPOSE
At Good Water Farms, we believe that a plant-based diet is the key to a healthier future — and that microgreens are central to this shift. When cultivated using biodynamic and organic farming techniques, these versatile, tasty greens benefit both the planet and its inhabitants.
The first true leaves of an herb or vegetable, microgreens are cleaner, stronger and more flavorful than their traditional counterparts. They feature four to 40 times the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, with 100% bioavailability and healing benefits on both physical and energetic levels. We also deliver them within a day of harvest, in a packaging system designed to maximize freshness and nutrient retention.
Our regenerative methods mean our greens are grown in live, nutrient-rich soil for eight to 28 days, which allows them to develop into their perfect selves. Plus, our certification as one of the world’s few certified Biodynamic® microgreens farms guarantee they are of the highest quality. It confirms that, beyond rejecting pesticides and cultivation methods that strip food of its vital properties and lead to environmental imbalance, we organize the biodiversity of the farm to create a self-regulating and renewable ecosystem.

purpose — good water farms
Michael. - I too have been tracking micro greens for a while and was intrigued that you also have brought this up a number of times. I totally agree it’s a very important idea to explore. One thought I had was to go to the share of the harvest farm people and
see if they might be interested in promoting or exploring that further as a method for feeding people off-season and as a strategy for times when food supply chains may be cut off. Perhaps some of us on this thread could give them a call or I would be happy
to. Of course they’re not the only ones. the Hamptons food institute which does related work could be another entity to discuss this with and food pantries themselves could potentially directly grow micro greens. It’s a promising idea and I think Drawdown
East End should embrace it
