This is where they are grown

Ten varieties, seeded by hand into trays, stacked on racks under full-spectrum light, watered by hand, and cut to order. Nothing arrives here half-grown. The seed goes in on Johns Island and the greens come off on Johns Island.

It looks less like a field than people expect, and that is the point. Growing under light instead of weather means no herbicides, nothing lost to an August downpour or a February frost, and the same tray ready on the same day every week of the year.

Why growing on the island actually matters

Microgreens are the most perishable thing in the produce aisle. They are cut at seven to fourteen days old, they have no skin and no rind, and they lose their texture within days. A green that spent three days on a truck was already half used up before you paid for it.

From here to downtown Charleston is a short drive. From here to a James Island kitchen is one bridge over the Stono. That is the whole competitive argument, and it is the one thing a national grower cannot copy.
