What Are Microgreens?
Microgreens are the earliest stage of a vegetable plant’s development, after the sprouting stage.
They are “living foods” – Purposefully utilized in their most nutritious and delicious state.
In the photo below, you can see sprouts on the left, microgreens in the middle, and a more mature vegetable plant on the right:
Why Are Microgreens
Healthier Than Mature Greens?
Their nutrient content is more concentrated
Their vitamin and antioxidants levels are 4 - 40X higher than mature greens like lettuce, spinach, and kale.
They’re richer in macro minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium
They’re richer in micro minerals such as iron, zinc and copper
They’re richer in A, B, C, E, and K vitamins, essential amino acids, folate and many more!

Every $1 donated = 1 sunflower planted. The Green Roof Urban Farm is up for the challenge! Are you up for the challenge? We have some ambitious goals for the 2024 calendar year. Lets work together to revitalize the community while helping us to expand our urban farm.
Sunflowers are great as microgreens, we grow and sell them here on our urban farm. They are also a great addition to any garden. Their beauty brings joy, they attract bees and are excellent pollinators, they provide food to local wildlife, and remove heavy metals from the soil. We are teaming up with local businesses, community centers, schools, churches, parks, and libraries for planting locations. Photos and locations will be shared via Facebook. We need your help... we are accepting donations and for every $1 donated, we will plant 1 sunflower in Youngstown, Ohio or any of the surrounding areas.
The donated funds will go to covering the cost of planting the sunflowers: seeds, soil, tools, advertising, and labor. All donations after the cost will go to new equipment for our urban farm. Why 250,000? We are looking into a new urban location and we are in need of additional equipment. The price tag on this endeavor is 250k. This is about coming together to accomplish something amazing that everyone can enjoy. Please support local sustainable farming!
This is a non profit fundraiser and 100% of the proceeds go directly to The Green Roof Urban Farm and its partners. Donate today or check our our Go Fund Me. $1 can make a big difference if everyone works together. How many sunflowers do you think we will plant this year?
