Our Story
We had a very different life before we started 52 Foot Farms. We worked in demanding industries with long hours and commutes and couldn't find balance. In 2018 we started to talk about making a change. 
 
We both had an interest in nutrition and the quality of what we put in our bodies. We knew that growing our own food would be part of our goals in building a healthier, more sustainable life. 
 
We first learned about microgreens when we began studying urban farming techniques. We liked that we could grow them indoors because we didn’t have a lot of space. We were blown away by the flavours and how long they lasted in the fridge. On top of that, we had access to fresh greens at any time of year.
 
We were hooked. We took an intensive microgreens course and joined the community of micro growers. 
At the start of 2019 we went all in. We moved to Vancouver Island and built our microgreens operation. 
 
Our greatest satisfaction has come from being part of the local food community. Participating in Farmer’s Markets has given us the opportunity to get to know our customers and to forge bonds with other farmers and producers. The support we’ve received has been life changing. We are committed to serving restaurants, retail shops and homes 365 days a year.
