Who They Are:
Gail and Jim started Tender Greens here in Bend, OR years ago and have mastered the art of the hydroponic growing
of these delicate microgreens, microherbs and shoots all year round. What are microgreens exactly? Well, they are exceptionally tender young seedlings, less than ten days old at harvest, which are typically less than one inch tall and are picked just before you receive them to guarantee freshness. They are most often placed on plates for flavor and visual contrast and can also be enjoyed as a small side salad, a topping for a soup or bread dip, processed with olive oil to create a brilliant herbal oil, or tucked into an exotic wrap. Best of all, they are all plate ready, no waste, no preparation.
Tender Greens uses proven techniques to ensure a reliable supply of high quality products such as integrated pest management, including beneficial insects like lady bugs and lacewings, as well as other controls approved for organic food production.
Besides the varieties listed below, Tender Greens keeps a selection of seeds on hand and trials new varieties for future offerings. So, if you are interested in a variety not listed, don’t hesitate to ask.
