BrightFarms products are not impacted by Cyclospora outbreak. Our leafy greens are grown in controlled greenhouse environments with rigorous food safety standards. Additionally, our greenhouse system helps reduce exposure to outside environmental factors like runoff water and other potential sources of contamination. We're committed to providing safe, high-quality greens for our consumers.
At BrightFarms we grow in an indoor, controlled environment, and sell our produce locally. Unlike field grown greens, which are subject to harsh weather conditions and a long journey from southern California across the US, our greens are grown for flavor and nutrition instead of durability. BrightFarms greens are grown in water in a hydroponic system and given the perfect amount of nutrients, so they don’t 'struggle' which can cause greens to become tough and bitter. Given this perfect environment, and a short drive to the local supermarket, we are able to harvest them at their best which results in beautifully fresh and tender salads.
There is no need to wash! All of BrightFarms products are ready to eat. Our greens are grown in a controlled environment, inside of greenhouse farms, which allows for cleaner, safer, and pesticide free produce. You do not need to wash our produce unless you prefer to.
Seeds! The seeds of our greens sometimes get into the packages when harvesting. This is especially common with our Baby Spinach. Seeds are edible and safe to eat. If you’ve received an unusually high amount of seeds in your greens please let us know. For a fun read on Spinach seeds, check out this article on EatorToss.com.
Super baby, or newborn leaves! These tiny starter leaves are called cotyledons - the first two leaves that emerge from the seed before the true leaves emerge. These are part of the leaf and are completely safe to eat, just like the true leaves. They are most commonly seen in our Baby Spinach. If you see an unusually high amount of cotyledons in your greens please let us know. For a fun read on cotyledons, check out this article on EatorToss.com.
We hear you! And honestly, we don’t love plastic either. That’s why we’re actively exploring alternative packaging solutions for the future. In the meantime, our containers are made with recycled plastic and are recyclable. We also encourage you to give your containers a second life by reusing them around your home! They’re great for storing pens, post-its, and office supplies, organizing pantry items, starting seeds, or even creating a small, apartment-friendly compost bin. It’s an easy way to reduce waste and give your container a new purpose while helping grow more plants.
It’s a crunchy green leaf that is unique to BrightFarms! It is our most loved product because of its satisfying crunch and sweet flavor. For more info visit our products page.
BrightFarms is not yet certified organic - but we grow in the most natural way! We use absolutely no pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, or fungicides in our greenhouses and all our products are non-GMO project certified. Did you know that Organic does not equal pesticide-free? Organic greens can (and do!) use pesticides. BrightFarms uses none at all. Nothing goes on the plants except sunshine. Nothing goes in the plants except crystal clean water and nutrients. We are committed to growing you the safest, healthiest, and cleanest greens possible. If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to contact us!
