Freshness & Shelf-Life FAQ
How long will my microgreens stay fresh?
Our microgreens are harvested to order and packed at the farm for peak freshness. When kept refrigerated and dry, most varieties are at their best within 5–7 days of harvest or delivery. Heartier varieties like sunflower and peas may last a day or two longer; delicate varieties like sweet basil and arugula are best enjoyed within 4–5 days.
What's the best way to store them?
Keep your greens refrigerated at all times—ideally between 34–38°F. Store them in their original container or a loosely closed bag with a dry paper towel tucked in to absorb any excess moisture. Never store microgreens near ethylene-producing produce like apples or bananas, as this accelerates breakdown.
Should I rinse them before storing?
No — rinse just before eating, not before storing. Excess moisture introduced before refrigeration is the fastest route to wilting and sliminess. When you're ready to use them, rinse gently under cold water and pat dry or spin dry.
How do I know if they've gone bad?
Trust your senses. Signs that your microgreens are past their prime include:
- A slimy or mushy texture on the stems or leaves
- A sour, off, or fermented smell
- Significant yellowing (a little pale color near the cut stem is normal)
- Heavy wilting that doesn't recover after a brief cold-water rinse
A slight softening at the tips is common near the end of shelf life and doesn't mean the greens are unsafe — use your best judgment and your nose.
When should I contact the farm?
Please reach out to us directly if your greens arrive with visible damage, an off smell upon opening, or spoilage signs within 48 hours of delivery or pickup. We stand behind the quality of every order and will make it right. You can contact us through the store or message us at the farmers market.
