Grassroots Growers
Something small can still pack a big punch—that’s the idea behind these microgreens. The little organic sprouted plants, before they form real leaves, deliver as much as 40 times the nutrient content of their mature plant counterparts. Bonus: They also add deliciousness.

The Bakery on 22nd St.
After coming to the States and not being able to find the same breads he enjoyed in Israel, Omri Zin-Tamir began baking, but it wasn’t until he did a sourdough deep dive that he decided to go big-time. Sign up for subscription deliveries of sourdough, pizza crusts, even deli rye lavash crackers, or find them at Mill City Farmers Market. bakery22st.com
Tiny Tinks Farm
These farmers will happily talk your ear off about the mushrooms growing on their urban farm. All the fungi and produce they bring is certified naturally grown, using a no-till method. You can find rare items like morels and specialty produce at these stands. Multiple markets. tinytinksfarm.com
