Silly Greens

We sow it - You grow it. Getting people growing food since 2016.

The idea for Silly Greens took hold as Ed, a one-time pub gardener, took on a concept of supplying premature seedlings but instead delivering then to home growers by post. Quick yielding crops that grow something you can't get in the shops was, to perk people's interest in food growing, with a no-tech, no-kit, indoor solution.

Farm sown in Suffolk, the packs take out a lot of fiddly work required to grow microgreens, such as soaking the seed and the regular misting and watering. Grown in a Jelly, the seeds remain hydrated until they lift themselves out the box. As a Jelly, it's a natural organic growing medium that, once grown, degrades naturally, alleviating the need for material root pads or soil.

Microgreens are a particularly perishable crop, so growing them means they can be cut straight onto the plate which means we can sow a far more extensive range than the shops supply. Growing your own greens not only puts you in touch with a natural living thing it makes you more interested in eating them.
