Essentially, I wanted to eat healthier without sacrificing the environment. Most leafy greens sold at major supermarkets are packaged in single-use plastic and are produced by large scale farms. As a person who loves the earth, I felt (and still feel) deep sadness for its destruction at the hands of humans. And for a time, my guilt weighed heavily on me, to the point where I would sacrifice my health in order to do my small part for the planet. 

​

So, I decided I wanted to try grow my own food with minimal harm to the environment. After countless hours of research, I discovered that microgreens were the easiest and most sustainable foods to grow; and so Microps was born.
