About Us

Who are we?

At NORTHWICH tiny leaf, we're a small, family-run urban microgreens farm, based in Lostock Gralam-Northwich. We specialize in growing nutrient-packed microgreens right here in Cheshire, using sustainable and eco-friendly methods in our home setup. No pesticides, just natural techniques for pure, safe greens. Our mission is to bring the freshest, locally harvested greens to your table, harvested and delivered the same day for maximum flavor and nutrition. Whether you're a home cook, chef, or health enthusiast, we deliver to Northwich and surrounding areas up to 10 miles. Started in 2026, we're passionate about making healthy eating easy and delicious.

What are microgreens?

• Microgreens are young seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs

• Harvested just 7-21 days after germination when they're about 1-3 inches tall

• Unlike sprouts (which are grown in water), microgreens grow in soil or a medium with sunlight, giving them a more intense flavor and nutrient profile.

• Popular varieties include broccoli, radish, pea, and sunflower – each with unique tastes from mild to peppery.

Why Eat Microgreens?

Health Benefits (Based on research from Cleveland Clinic, Healthline, and USDA studies)

• Nutrient-Packed Superfoods: Microgreens can contain up to 40 times more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than mature vegetables. They're rich in vitamin C, E, K, beta-carotene, iron, potassium, and zinc – supporting immune health, wound healing, and overall vitality.

• Antioxidant Boost: High in polyphenols and antioxidants, they help fight oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and lower the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer.

• Cholesterol and Diabetes Management: Some varieties (e.g., red cabbage) can lower "bad" LDL cholesterol and help manage Type 2 diabetes by improving blood sugar control.

• Gut and Detox Support: They promote digestion, detoxify the body, and may improve thinking/reasoning due to their brain-boosting nutrients.

• Skin Health: The vitamins and antioxidants contribute to healthier skin by protecting against free radicals.
