About microgreens
What are microgreens?
Microgreens are young vegetable plants harvested about 9–12 days after planting. They’re known for concentrated flavor, vibrant color, and nutrient density.
What’s the difference between microgreens and sprouts?
Sprouts are eaten very early (often 3–5 days) and typically include the seed and root. Microgreens are harvested later with developed cotyledon leaves and a stem, offering a more robust texture and flavor.
Are microgreens healthy?
Microgreens are widely valued as a nutrient-dense food. People add them to meals for variety, color, and flavor — and because they’re an easy way to eat more plants.
Do microgreens need to be washed?
Wash microgreens right before eating, not before storing. Washing too early can add moisture and shorten freshness.
Products and varieties
What microgreens do you carry?
Inventory changes with what’s growing. Common varieties include broccoli, spicy salad mix, mild salad mix, red acre cabbage, rambo radish, pea shoots, and seasonal trays like cantaloupe. See Shop All for what’s live.
Which microgreen is best for beginners?
Broccoli and mild salad mix are usually the easiest to love — mild flavor, easy to use on almost anything.
Which microgreens are the spiciest?
Rambo radish, or our spicy salad mix.
Ordering and DoorStep Market delivery
Where do you deliver?
DoorStep Market focuses on a ~15-mile radius of Quakertown, Pennsylvania. See delivery areas and town pages for Bucks County, Doylestown, Perkasie, and Quakertown.
Do you offer free delivery?
Yes — free delivery for orders with microgreens. Vendor-only carts may include a small fee unless you add greens.
When do I need to order?
Order by Tuesday for that week’s Friday evening DoorStep Market delivery.
What should I leave out for delivery?
A cooler with an ice pack. In winter, a room-temp cooler is often enough.
Can I pick up instead of delivery?
Our grow space isn’t a walk-in storefront. For in-person shopping, watch farmers market schedules (Perkasie is a staple when in season) or use DoorStep Market delivery.
Do you ship microgreens?
We focus on local DoorStep Market delivery to protect freshness — no long-distance shipping of live greens.
Storage and freshness
How do I store microgreens?
- Refrigerate at 35–40°F
- Keep them in an airtight container
- Add a paper towel to absorb moisture
- Keep away from ethylene-producing fruits (apples, bananas)
How long do microgreens last?
When stored properly, commonly 2–3 weeks. Many customers use them within about 10 days for peak flavor.
How do I know if they’ve gone bad?
Avoid greens that are slimy, strongly off-smelling, excessively wilted, or mushy/discolored. Contact us same day if something seems off on arrival.
Food safety and growing practices
Are your microgreens organic?
We grow carefully without harmful chemicals or pesticides. We are not certified organic (yet), but clean growing is non-negotiable — our kids eat these too.
Are microgreens safe to eat raw?
They are commonly eaten raw. As with any fresh produce, refrigerate promptly and wash before eating.
How to use microgreens
What can I put microgreens on?
Salads, sandwiches, wraps, eggs, soups (at the end), grain bowls, pasta, smoothies, pesto, avocado toast — treat them like a finishing herb with more crunch.
Subscriptions
Do you offer subscription savings?
Yes — subscription savings can reach up to about 30% on microgreens depending on quantity and interval. Pricing shows at checkout when subscription options are live.
Farmers markets and winter markets
Do you sell at farmers markets?
Yes — including Perkasie Farmers Market in season. Indoor/winter market appearances vary; DoorStep Market covers weekly Friday home delivery year-round inside our radius.
Is DoorStep Market the same as a winter farmers market?
No. Local indoor winter markets are in-person Saturday events. DoorStep Market is NordicGreens LLC’s delivered Friday service from Quakertown — a complementary winter-market-style option for your cooler.
