About Us

What We Do & Who Does It?

The Microgreenery is the newest addition to the Funny Farm. Our farm operates using the “side-by-side model of teaching”; well-trained and knowledgeable farmers with expertise in the growing of microgreens work with youth, their support workers and elders in the connecting, educating and planting, growing, harvesting, and sale of microgreens.

These farmers include children and teens who may be struggling with life challenges, who may need some “connection” with the land and animals, who have been dealt a less than ideal hand in their very young life. The youth enjoy getting their hands dirty, literally or otherwise; helping with growing the microgreens, planting seedlings, caring for animals, farm chores, and yard and garden maintenance. The Microgreenery is also home to adults and elders looking for a connection to the earth, our food source, and our community…all of which happens while planting, caring and harvesting microgreens.

Why We Do It?

All of the proceeds from The Microgreenery and Power Greens go back into the community through our Registered Non Profit Society - Beefun Women’s Society.

We do what we do because we love to do it! We care for others because we care for ourselves. We believe that EVERYONE is welcome to be the change you want to see in the world…and to us, that is bringing community together to create community. We believe the first step in honouring ourselves and each other is healthy access to food; microgreens are our answer. Big nutrients in a small package, with a better than economical price tag. Each and every product sold fosters community, access to nutritious meals, healthy programs for youth and families.

  • I am loving the Power Greens! I have noticed a difference in my skin, my energy and my overall health. So easy and versatile to use for the whole family. It can be added to smoothies, juices, yogurt bowls, sauces, salad dressing and more!

  • I just wanted to let you know that I am loving the Power Greens so far! I have only been taking it for a few weeks now, and I have to say, it is the best tasting greens powder I have tried. This will definitely be part of my daily routine.

  • I put Power Greens in my smoothie everyday. I had run out one day so I made my smoothie without them, on that day I was feeling a little sluggish. I got some more the following day and what a difference in my energy!
