Microgreens Club
A Zero Waste Initiative by Micro YYC
What’s included:
Microgreens and shoots! You will receive 2 containers of microgreens per delivery (1 medium + 1 large). They hold approximately* 100g and 150g of fresh greens. This is about the equivalent of 6 of our small retail containers. *The exact weight will vary slightly depending on the variety, but we’ll pack them up full.
Delivery! We'll drop your greens, contact-free, on your doorstep, and we’ll send text notifications when we're on our way.
Weekly emails! We’ll share recipes, ideas and encouragement on how to use your greens!
Perks! You’ll also get exclusive behind-the-scenes access to Micro YYC through our online community, as well as private tours of the Micro YYC facility! We may also send out an additional bonus or treat once in a while :)
Sessions run for 12 weeks (12 or 6 deliveries depending on your chosen schedule). Once enrollment is closed, we will plan our routes by location and notify you of your regular delivery day.
You’ll get a super fresh curated selection of microgreens and shoots with each delivery.
We’ll mix it up, but keep it fairly consistent so you can feel confident and get to know the greens!
Microgreens Club varieties may include: Classic Mix, Spicy Mix, Farmer’s Choice, Broccoli, Sun Shoots, Pea Shoots, Shoot Mix, Borage Shoots, Fava Shoots, Arugula, Red Cabbage, Purple Radish. *We reserve the right to get creative and come up with something new to delight your taste buds!
Example 4 week rotation:
- Week 1: Classic Mix Microgreens + Sunflower Shoots
- Week 2: Shoot Mix + Broccoli Microgreens
- Week 3: Spicy Mix Microgreens + Pea Shoots
- Week 4: Farmer’s Choice Mix + Fava Shoots
Our containers:
We’ve carefully selected sturdy, commercial-grade plastic containers that are meant to withstand the rigors of commercial kitchen use because we want them to last well, forever.
They are air-tight, which keeps your greens as fresh as can be - but the lids can take a little getting used to - so look for the arrow, and pull up from that corner with a little muscle. You got this!
You’ll just need to rinse them and set them out for us to collect on your next delivery day.
- Value - you’ll save 25%+ compared to retail prices
- Fresh - harvested and delivered on the same day - you can’t get any fresher than that!
- Nutrition - microgreens are packed full of nutrients, fibre, and plant-based protein
- Convenience - like magic, microgreens will appear on your doorstep
- Zero-waste - a completely waste-free experience
- Local - support a local, woman-owned indoor farm and small business, and invest in the local food economy
Membership details:
Joining the Microgreens Club means committing to at least one FULL 12-week session. We are an operating farm, and our membership is structured based on a CSA (community supported agriculture) model in order to streamline our planning, planting, harvesting, and deliveries for the session. This means committing to a session in advance to support the farmer in all stages of the growing season.
The Club will be open for new enrollments once per season (Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer).
Memberships will auto-renew, so you don’t have to do anything to keep receiving your greens.
You may pause or cancel at any time before renewal (your membership would end at the completion of the current session).
Memberships are non-refundable.
Billing:
When you join the club, you will be charged your first subscription installment ($44 or $88), plus one container deposit ($20). Subsequent charges will be paid automatically in 4 week intervals.
Container deposit:
We’ve chosen high-quality containers that will last a lifetime, and we hope to reuse them for a very long time. A one-time $20 deposit ($10/container) will be required at the start of your membership. At the end of membership, when all containers have been returned, the deposit will be refunded.
Containers will be tracked, and additional deposits will be charged as necessary.
Holds:
Microgreens Club memberships are non-refundable, but if you are not available to receive a delivery, please email us at club@microyyc.com and we will donate your greens to a local community fridge. Or, if you would like to redirect your greens to a friend in our delivery area, that is also an option with enough notice (7 days).
Thank you for choosing to invest in our small, local, urban farm!

Microgreens are tiny versions of your favourite veggies and herbs. Our crops are hand-grown with care and free of synthetic inputs - we keep it simple with soil, compost, water, and light. Our seeds are almost always certified organic, with the exception of a few hard-to-find specialty varieties.
Microgreens are an incredible year-round source of fresh, local, delicious, nutrient-dense food. When it comes to taste, microgreens are small but mighty. An excellent way to elevate your meals with a flavour, colour, and nutrition boost!
We grow our microgreens in an indoor, AHS certified facility in SW Calgary.
Microgreens are a nutrient powerhouse! We’ll be sharing more information about nutrition soon, but these little greens are packed full of nutrients, fibre, and plant-based protein.

Not at this time. We’ll consider adding more options in future sessions.

Each delivery is the equivalent of about 6 of our small (45g) retail packages. This is enough for a family of 4 to eat each week or a health-conscious adult (or two) who loves adding microgreens to daily meals. If you’re just dipping your toes into the microgreens world, biweekly delivery might be for you.
*a note on shelf life - microgreens are best enjoyed 7-10 days from harvest, so weekly delivery will ensure you’re always stocked with fresh greens.
Our delivery window is 4:00pm - 8:00pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Once enrollment for a session is closed, we will plan our routes and notify you of your regular delivery day.
You will receive a text notification when we are on our way, and once your microgreens have been delivered.
***The Winter Session begins the week of January 11th***
We’ve carefully selected sturdy, commercial-grade plastic containers that are meant to withstand the rigors of commercial kitchen use because we want them to last, well, forever.
They also had to meet our criteria: airtight, easy to clean, and clear (so you can see those beautiful greens). We considered some glass alternatives, but the risk of breakage (think concrete warehouse floors) was simply too high.
