Growing fresh vegetables, herbs, and food at home can sometimes be a little tricky, especially if you don’t have a window box or garden. One solution is the new MicroFarm, a system designed to help grow fresher, healthier, and cheaper herbs and microgreens at home. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the grow light and how easy it is to grow superfoods in your kitchen.
Launched via Kickstarter this week, MicroFarm is now available to back from €89 or roughly £77, and worldwide shipping is expected to commence during October 2019. The company can also supply you with your micro-green seeds at up to 50 times cheaper than store-bought alternatives, say its creators, Mother.
Innovative Design and Technology
“Using our knowledge and experience from implementing our full-spectrum LED grow-light technology in professional indoor farms, we designed MicroFarm. MicroFarm is a professional, easy-to-use, countertop module that enables anyone to easily grow their own nutrient-rich microgreens. MicroFarm is designed to last a lifetime. It fits everyone’s kitchen; from the home-cook to the top-chef!”
The MicroFarm utilizes advanced full-spectrum LED grow lights, which mimic natural sunlight to ensure optimal growth conditions for your plants. This technology not only promotes faster growth but also enhances the nutritional value of the microgreens. The compact design of the MicroFarm makes it suitable for any kitchen, regardless of size, and its sleek appearance ensures it complements modern kitchen aesthetics.
Benefits of Growing Microgreens at Home
Microgreens are young vegetable greens that are approximately 1–3 inches tall. They have been found to contain higher nutrient levels than more mature vegetable greens. This makes them an excellent addition to any diet, providing a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Growing microgreens at home with the MicroFarm offers several benefits:
1. Nutritional Boost: Microgreens are packed with nutrients. Studies have shown that they can contain up to 40 times more nutrients than their mature counterparts.
2. Cost-Effective: Growing your own microgreens can be significantly cheaper than buying them from the store. With MicroFarm, you can grow a variety of greens at a fraction of the cost.
3. Freshness: There’s nothing quite like the taste of freshly harvested greens. Growing at home ensures you have the freshest produce available.
4. Sustainability: By growing your own greens, you reduce the need for transportation and packaging, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
5. Convenience: The MicroFarm is designed to be user-friendly, making it easy for anyone to grow their own greens, regardless of their gardening experience.
