UAE: A visit to New Leaf Farm

The soil used for the microgreens is mixed by hand and perfected over the years

Seeds are spread in the crates

After seeding, a farm worker makes sure to press the seeds into the soil

Weight is put on top of the seeds to make sure they're fully covered in soil to absorb the most nutrients

Pathway overview

A small-sized basil is cultivated on request of a particular client

Behind Ian, there are some experiments going on with crops that are requested by clients

Ian made sure we tasted loads of microgreens! :)

Harvesting is done manually in the harvesting room

The residues are recycled and processed into the soil mixture

Hand checked and weighed
