Our Story
What started as a small experiment in our apartment has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined. In January 2020, Nicholas began growing microgreens to help his body heal after a major health event. At the same time, Zahnia was navigating deep grief, marking 8 years since the loss of her Uncle Jiri—the one who first introduced her to vegetable gardening as a teen. To honour his memory, she started growing vegetables on her tiny apartment patio, while Nicholas was experimenting with microgreens indoors. Without realizing it, we were both reconnecting with food, soil, and something much bigger than ourselves.
There was just one challenge—we had no land. No family farm. No open fields. Just a deep passion for growing food and a belief that we could do it, even in the middle of the city. What started as growing for ourselves soon turned into growing for friends, then for chefs, and by 2025, we took a bold step forward—opening a commercial indoor farm in Burlington, ON. Our dream is to one day steward a regenerative farm on rural land, and this urban farm is our first step toward that vision.
Today, we grow over 50 varieties of microgreens, herbs, and edible flowers, supplying chefs and home cooks with the freshest ingredients. It wasn’t easy—indoor farming is still so new that city regulations made it nearly impossible to find a space to grow. But after years of persistence, navigating red tape, and overcoming hurdles, we finally found a home. And in summer 2025, we’re taking another big leap—partnering with local farmers to launch our first season of outdoor growing. We’re just getting started, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead!
