Help Drive Vancouver's Truck Farm

If you already know & love the Truck Farm Because we are still expanding our retail reach, seed sales alone are not able to cover the costs of keeping the Truck Farm on the road so we have put together an Indiegogo campaign to help cover the costs.

Grow fast and easy microgreens year round

  Green thumbs not required, just opposable ones. You can grow and harvest small batches of microgreens on your windowsill for fresh picked greens throughout the long winter months. Microgreens are tender and tangy lettuce and mustard greens that are usually harvested when they are barely a few weeks old. They are basically at the growth stage between sprouts and baby greens. This short growth span that makes microgreens possible to produce on even the darkest windowsills through the dingiest months of the year.
