Why hydroponic Summer Blend Kale?

Hydroponic growing uses a water-based nutrient system instead of soil. This helps keep the crop clean, controlled, and close to the community.
Since we grow locally in Scarborough, travel time from harvest to pickup or delivery is reduced.

Indoor hydroponic growing can also support careful water use because water and nutrients are managed in a controlled system.
For customers, that means fresh local produce grown with care, consistency, and less dependence on long-distance supply chains.

Freshness Tips

• Rinse before use
• Snip only what you need to maintain freshness
• Keep refrigerated with the roots lightly hydrated and the leaves dry
• Store in a loose bag or container to help reduce moisture loss
• If the leaves begin to soften, soak them in very cold clean water for 5 to 10 minutes, then drain and dry well before use
• Use within 5 to 7 days for the best flavour and freshness
