Microgreens Club
A Zero Waste Initiative by Micro YYC
Microgreens Club Registration Form
What’s included:
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 40g retail containers. *The exact weight will vary slightly depending on the variety, but we’ll pack them up full.
Deliveries will be contact-free, and we’ll send you a text message to let you know they’re on their way.
We’ll also be sharing information, ideas and encouragement on how to use them up via our email communications. 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!
The Fall session runs for 12 weeks (12 or 6 deliveries depending on your chosen schedule) starting on September 28, 29 or 30, 2021 until December 14, 15 or 16. 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 + Borage 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:
The Microgreens Club will be open for enrollment once per season (Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer). There will be short breaks between seasons (1-2 weeks). Subscription will auto-renew, so you don’t have to do anything to keep receiving your greens.
Joining the club means committing to the FULL season. You may cancel at any time before the start of the next season (your membership will end at the end of the current season). This allows us enough notice for crop planning and planting.
Billing:
You will be contacted the week before deliveries begin to make a one-time payment (for the 12-week session), or set up a recurring billing cycle. Stay tuned.
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 the membership, when all containers have been returned, the deposit will be refunded. Containers will be tracked, and additional deposits will be charged as necessary.
Holiday holds:
We’re working on something more technical for this - but for now, if you’re going away and need to hold your deliveries, please email us at club@microyyc.com with a minimum of 7 days notice, and we will provide a refund for the time you are away, or give you the option to donate your greens to a local non-profit.
Still have more questions? We have answers!
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 (40g) retail packages. This is enough for a family of 4 to eat each week or a health-conscious pair of adults who love adding microgreens to meals. If you’re single or 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.
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.
