Sustainability in Action: How We Grow & Give Back
At Medley Micro Farm, we believe sustainability is more than just a practice—it’s a commitment to our community and the environment. Our mission is to grow fresh, nutritious food while making a positive impact on the planet and the people around us.
Our Sustainable Growing Practices
We use eco-friendly, organic methods to cultivate our microgreens, ensuring they are both healthy and environmentally responsible. Here’s how we do it:
Organic soil and fertilizers – We enrich our soil with natural nutrients to promote strong, healthy plant growth.
Energy-efficient growing environment – Our microgreens are cultivated indoors using energy-saving lights, with plans to integrate solar power in the future.
Chemical-free commitment – We never use pesticides or herbicides, ensuring our greens are safe and pure.
Composting and waste reduction – We recycle plant waste into nutrient-rich compost, fostering a natural cycle of growth and sustainability.
These practices allow us to deliver the freshest, most nutritious microgreens while reducing our environmental footprint.
Giving Back to the Community
Sustainability is not just about the land—it’s about people too. That’s why we donate a portion of every harvest to Loaves and Fishes, a local food program that helps individuals and families in need. We believe fresh, healthy food should be accessible to everyone, and we’re proud to contribute to a healthier community.
How You Can Make a Difference
Supporting sustainability and healthy eating is easier than you think. Here are a few ways you can get involved:
Choose local and organic – Supporting local farms strengthens the community and reduces environmental impact.
Share the message – Spread the word about the benefits of microgreens and sustainable farming.
Volunteer or donate – Help local organizations like Loaves and Fishes or the Brockville & Area Food Bank provide fresh food to those in need. Or help a neighbour with their garden to increase the amount of fresh and affordable food being produced and consumed in our community.
Together, we can create a future that is healthier, more connected, and truly sustainable.
