OUR STORY
THE BRAND
Good food starts close to home.
At Root Haven Farm, we believe great food begins with great ingredients.​​
We grow microgreens with a focus on flavour, freshness and consistency — harvesting at the right moment and taking care with every step that follows.​ Our small-scale approach allows us to grow with intention, pay attention to quality and build genuine relationships with the people we grow for.​
For us, local food isn't simply about miles travelled. It's about connection — between growers, communities and the tables our food ultimately reaches.​ Whether our greens are finishing a chef's plate, finding their way into a family meal or sitting on a local retailer's shelf, our goal is simple: Grow something worth sharing.
Root Haven is a small farm, but we take what we grow seriously. We want every harvest to be something we're proud to put on your table.
THE GROWERS
Rooted in agriculture. Growing for the next generation.
​
Root Haven Farm is rooted in a lifelong appreciation for agriculture and a desire to grow good food close to home.
Cherice studied Organic Agriculture and has spent years working across different parts of the food system — from organic farms, including a certified organic microgreens farm, to natural food retail and produce management, and eventually running a market garden and Community Shared Agriculture program.​
Those experiences shaped a deep appreciation for the work behind good food: growing it well, handling it carefully and building relationships with the people who enjoy it.​
Root Haven is now entering a new chapter, bringing years of agricultural experience into a smaller, more intentional model that fits the life her family is building today.

THE PROCESS
GROWING
Controlled, Consistent production.
Our microgreens are grown in a controlled indoor environment using carefully selected seeds and only organic growing practices. We monitor growing conditions throughout each crop to produce healthy, vibrant greens with consistent flavour, colour and quality.
We grow in small batches and plan production around customer demand, allowing us to harvest fresh rather than holding large quantities of finished product.
HARVESTING & PACKAGING
Careful handling from harvest to package.
Microgreens are harvested at their peak and handled with careful attention to cleanliness and food safety throughout the post-harvest process. Each crop is inspected for quality before being packaged in food-safe containers.
Our packaging is designed to protect the delicate greens while providing clear product identification and a consistent presentation for chefs, retailers and home customers.
STORAGE & DELIVERY
Kept fresh from our farm to your door.
After harvest and packaging, microgreens are promptly refrigerated to help maintain freshness, quality and shelf life.
Orders are kept refrigerated until delivery and transported with care to help maintain appropriate conditions along the way. We coordinate harvest and delivery schedules with our wholesale customers whenever possible, helping ensure that their greens arrive fresh and ready for use.
