We are in the middle of winter, and while you can find cool season crops like salad greens, kale, potatoes, radishes, and carrots, there are less locally-grown fruits and vegetables available this time of year.

Today we’ll touch on what microgreens are, the health benefits they provide when added regularly to our diets, and how you can grow them at home.
