Indoor Farming Prevents Cyclosporiasis Outbreaks

Most foodborne-illness outbreaks tied to leafy greens start in the field — with contaminated irrigation water or soil. Cyclosporiasis, a parasitic infection linked to fresh produce, is one of them. Growing indoors changes that equation.

We grow every tray inside, in closed, controlled beds, using the same clean municipal water you drink every day — never open irrigation water that can carry contamination. Our greens are 100% pesticide-free and chemical-free, which meaningfully reduces the risk of cyclosporiasis and other foodborne illness compared with field-grown produce.

Preventable. Traceable. Trusted. We keep complete traceability from seed to harvest on every batch, so we always know exactly where your greens came from and how they were grown.

Certified by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and the USDA. Grown indoors, grown clean, grown local — right here in Detroit.
