Supreme Microgreens

Supreme Microgreens began as a humble school project that quickly blossomed into something much greater. In the Spring of 2023, Robert Stark & Alexander Ayanian, Horticulture students at UMass Amherst, were tasked with a unique final assignment: to apply agricultural knowledge through a hands-on, interactive project. Inspired by a casual conversation with a fellow student, the project decided to focus on the cultivation of microgreens—the nutrient-dense shoots of
salad vegetables harvested just before their true leaves emerge.

From day one, their mission was clear: to grow healthy, organic microgreens and bring them directly to consumers, promoting a farm-to-table lifestyle. Supreme Microgreens is committed to sustainability, using eco-friendly methods to ensure that their crops are not only nutritious but also grown with minimal environmental impact. The Supreme Microgreens team continues to experiment with new growing techniques and innovative ways to increase yield while maintaining their commitment to quality. With plans to expand into larger-scale farming and introduce home delivery services, Supreme Microgreens is on track to become a cornerstone of the farm-to-table movement in western Massachusetts. Their ultimate goal is to inspire others to think differently about food—where it
comes from, how it’s grown, and its impact on the world around us.

Currently, Supreme Microgreens can be found at the Amherst, Greenfield & Northampton farmers markets, with plans to expand to several more in the coming summer season. To keep up to date with all new locations and products, find us on our website at suprememicrogreens.org.
