MICROGREENS & MUSHROOMS

Welcome to Urban Greens Direct, your Los Angeles home for the finest, hyper-local, Chef Specialty Produce in the area. Our mission is simple: Provide customers with the freshest, tastiest, healthiest, naturally produced Microgreens and Mushrooms available locally.

Children Of The Sun…

I have an important question for you: Do you know where your produce comes from? Who grows it? How is it grown? Do they use fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, or genetically modified seeds? How long has it been sitting around in some warehouse or truck before it reaches your dinner table?

If you answered “I don’t really know” to any of these questions and you are ready to provide your guests, family, friends, and neighbors with Certified, locally produced Chef Specialty Produce, please read on…

At Urban Greens Direct, we grow elegant, delicious, immune-building Microgreens and Mushrooms for local restaurants, caterers, CSAs, and individuals like yourself. We offer a home delivery subscription with weekly and monthly deliveries as well as the option of individual orders.

Established in 2020, Urban Greens Direct is a Family Owned and Operated Urban Farm located in the heart of Torrance, California. As a former restaurant owner and graduate of Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School, Farm Owner Ryan Marin knows the importance of providing a consistent, quality product 100% of the time. Our goal is to provide you with an unparalleled personal service that only a small farm like ours can provide.

The Urban

Urban Greens Direct has its roots in the heart of the city of Torrance, California. Our small Urban Farm is 20 minutes away from all major restaurant destination spots in the South Bay. So whether you are a restaurant or home consumer, we are right next door and ready to provide you with the fastest, most reliable service the “big guys” can’t and don’t provide.

We are building working relationships with local Community Supported Agricultural programs in our neighborhood. As we grow, so will our involvement in these types of programs. We look forward to selling our Microgreens and Mushrooms at local Farmers Markets in Torrance, Redondo Beach, and Palos Verdes. Keep an eye out for us soon!

ATTENTION: IMMUNITY BUILDING SUPERFOOD ALERT!!!

The Greens

At Urban Greens Direct, all of our 100% Certified Organic Seeds are grown naturally with organic soil, water, and light. We never use fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, or genetically modified seeds in growing our Microgreens. We are a Certified Producer and grow all of our product in-house.

So, what are microgreens?

Microgreens are the first stage in plant growth. Harvested when they are only 7-20 days old, these tender, flavorful, nutrient-rich baby gems only reach about two inches in length. Microgreens are power-packed with beneficial vitamins, minerals, and nutrients like potassium, iron, zinc, and magnesium. These babies are known to have anti-inflammatory properties and contain high levels of antioxidants, which help support a healthy immune system!

Interesting microgreens fact:

Microgreens provide 4-40 times more nutrients than their mature, fully developed counterparts (Nutritional Analysis Study by the University of Maryland). For example, one cup of Radish Microgreens is similar to eating 30-40 cups of mature radishes. Wow! Talk about a power-packed immunity booster! Is that amazing or what? We think so! The health and wellness benefits of these greens are profound and unmatched. The days of Microgreens only being utilized as fancy Chef garnish are way behind us! The best thing about utilizing Microgreens is that there is virtually no preparation in order to enjoy them. No soaking, chopping, or cooking is needed to enjoy the health benefits of these wonderfully delicious Superfoods. Just wash and eat! Throw them in your favorite salad! Enhance your morning smoothie! Add them to an afternoon sandwich! Or, if you’re like us, just grab a handful of fresh Microgreens and eat them raw! The possibilities are endless. Mushrooms coming soon!!!

The Direct

We believe that the freshest produce comes straight from the farm to your table!

Urban Greens Direct never uses a distributor to deliver our product. We grow it, harvest it, and deliver it straight to your doorstep within hours after harvest! Our goal is to provide you with a safe, consistent, and reliable product that exceeds the quality of other distributer-based farm systems. In our hearts, we feel as though only small farms like ours can provide customers with this type of personal service. The more people that come in contact with your food, the more “unsafe” it becomes. At Urban Greens Direct, we are Certified Food Handlers, and the safety of you and yours is of the utmost importance to us!
