Cate and Kevin Keller first fell in love with microgreens when they realized it was a healthy food that appealed to the otherwise picky eating habits of their little daughter, Kingsley, age three.
The family puts microgreens on everything. They throw it into soup as a noodle substitute or chop it in a bowl drizzled with dressing for an easy salad.
“Anytime you can have pink and purple in food it’s helpful,” said Cate describing the color of the stem of the tender shoots they eat regularly. While her parents talked, little Kingsley busily climbed up and down porch furniture stopping only to look at and chat about her favorite picture books.
On June 1, the family took their diet to the next level when they launched their Grass Valley home-based food business, Father Daughter Farm.
