Microgreens
The super food that helps the environment
Did you know microgreens are not just good for our taste buds and health, they also have a positive impact on the environment. Sustainable farming practices used in growing microgreens can help reduce water usage, require less space for growth, minimize the use of pesticides and fertilizers than their mature counter parts. Microgreens have a significant smaller environmental foot print and help promote biodiversity.
We carry a variety of locally grown N Bar S Microgreens in our produce department. They specializes in providing the freshest microgreens to central Montana. Stop by and pick some up to try. Learn more about them on their Facebook page by clicking on the image.
