Why hydroponic 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
• Keep refrigerated in the crisper with roots or stems lightly hydrated and leaves dry
• Keep covered in a loose bag or container to reduce water loss
• Refresh softened leaves in very cold clean water for 5 to 10 minutes
• Hearty greens such as kale, chard, and rapini can usually be refreshed better than delicate leaves
• Drain and dry well before serving
• Use within 5 to 7 days
