Freshness, Flavor, and Community: Why Knowing Your Farmer Matters
At Back Mountain Microgreens, our story is one of connection—one that we’re excited to share with you. We believe that knowing your farmer on a first-name basis brings more than just fresh produce; it invites you to become part of our farming family. When you stroll through our farm's Grow Room, it’s not just a place—it’s an experience that builds trust. While some rely on third-party certifications for assurance, we believe in offering transparency that you can see and taste with every bite of fresh microgreens.
The Real Story: Going Beyond the Sticker
Trust Beyond Certifications Just like my husband, Luke, who grew up forming deep relationships with farmers who cared for the land and the food they grew, we extend that same opportunity to all of you—a chance to know where your food truly comes from. Here, authenticity (in regard to just how important it is to us to provide you with high quality products), replaces the superficial comfort of labels. We believe certifications, regulations, and accreditations often become a purely transactional system—rather than purposeful quality assurance. We far exceed those standards by working efficiently, with nature, in ways that simplify our processes while at the same time enriching our produce. We feel that our dedication to (and regular tweaking of) our simple, effective, and innovative farm management techniques yield the kind of high quality crops we're confident in offering to our customers. We're also thankful that offering high-quality products makes customer service simple!
Local Connections Over Overhead Costs Supporting local farmers means investing in relationships that recycle benefits back into our community. Yes, we are compliant with applicable regulations, but more importantly we value forming bonds that go above and beyond the status quo when it comes to today's regulatory environment. At Back Mountain Microgreens, you are supporting a food system that values community, flavor, and quality. What that means is, if you're like us, you'd rather bypass the red tape and focus on the connection with us rather than relying on a product label to tell you about our products. Rather than purchasing verified statuses for our product labels, we'd rather you understand why and how we do what we do, and invest our money into projects that will grow our farm and what we can offer you rather than line the pockets of organizations or governing bodies that really have no skin in the game. That's why we are happy to meet with you and why our hearts are always ready to share our passion for traditional, sustainable farming—even though we practice farming in a new and unconventional way.

Each leaf is meticulously grown and harvested with the kind of care only a chef can appreciate. We can say that because Luke's been there! He knows people eat with their eyes first, and he tends to our greens, packs each clamshell, and expects from our products exactly what you do: freshness that looks great and tastes even better. Think of our products as your canvas, ready and waiting for you to level-up your presentations in an eye-catching and flavorful way that only premium quality microgreens allow.

Join Us on This Journey
We invite you—our valued customers and community—to join us in livening up the connection between consumers and the farmers at the other end of the food supply chain. These important relationships got lost somewhere along the line, and we think it's time to bring them back. Get to know us not just as your farmers but as friends who share your love for nourishment, quality, and a joint, positive impact on our local economy. Visit us at Back Mountain Microgreens, where a smile, handshake, and maybe a hug if Gail is around start to tell the story behind our products and the familiar certification logos that are (and aren't) on our product labeling. Together, let's rekindle the flame and get our local food suppliers and their customers together again.
Your next culinary adventure begins with knowing not just what you eat, but who grows it!
