Cedar Ridge Farms

I grew up farming with my folks on 80 acres and helped my grandpa manage hundreds of head of cattle on his farm, as well as helped him with a custom hay baling operation. I have a passion for watching things grow that goes back generations. A few years back, we started growing our family and I renewed my interest in gardening and discovered microgreens.

We started eating microgreens on a regular basis and soon decided to share their wealth of nutrition and flavor with our community. Our five-acre plot on the outskirts of Mount Vernon, Missouri has goats, chickens, blueberries, blackberries, as well as a garden with seasonal veggies.

Microgreens are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They're more nutritionally dense than the mature veggies. They are fresh and raw and are best added after a meal is prepared for a pop of flavor and texture.
