Something remarkable is growing.

Premium organic microgreens, grown with purpose, recipe-ready, never washed, and built to arrive exactly as they left us.

For chefs who demand the best. For a food system that deserves better.

Who We Are

Moving at the Speed of Experience.

Verdánt was founded by people who have spent careers building and running complex growing operations, and who got tired of watching the food system settle for less than it could be.

We believe extraordinary organic produce shouldn’t be rare, seasonal, or prohibitively expensive. It should be consistent, accessible, and grown with integrity.

Our Mission

To reliably deliver the highest-quality, affordable organic produce, by integrating precision indoor growing and by honoring every commitment we make to the people who depend on us.

A Voice Chefs Trust

The most adventurous palate in America. On our side.

Andrew Zimmern, chef, author, and four-time James Beard Award winner, has spent his career seeking out the world’s most extraordinary food. He’s found something worth talking about closer to home.

“Every serious kitchen I know wants the same thing: microgreens that hold up, arrive clean, and show up reliably. That’s not a small ask. It’s exactly what Verdánt is built to deliver.”

The VERDÁNT Difference

Grown for the chef who won’t settle.

Microgreens and tomato in a bowl

Thicker. Leafier. More Robust.

Grown under precision-controlled conditions that produce denser, more flavorful greens, the kind that hold up on the plate and taste the way they’re supposed to.

Vibrant red and green microgreens

100% Certified Organic

No chemicals. No pesticides. No compromises. Every variety we grow is certified organic from seed to seal.

3× Longer Shelf Life

Gas-flushed, sealed packaging means your order arrives fresh and stays that way, dramatically reducing waste and simplifying your ordering cycle.

Premium Quality. Non-Organic Prices.

Exceptional organic produce has always come at a premium. We built Verdánt to change that, bringing top-tier quality within reach for serious kitchens.

Who We Grow For

The finest kitchens have been waiting for this.

Built for the kitchens that care

Recipe-ready microgreens, packed to order and delivered with a shelf life that gives you flexibility without waste, plus a reliable organic line and private-label options for distributors.

What’s Next

The first facility is underway. Operational early 2027.

Verdánt’s flagship facility is being built in Mankato, Minnesota, purpose-designed growing rooms inside a controlled indoor environment, running 24/7, independent of weather or season. Consistent supply isn’t a goal. It’s how the system is built.

Construction breaks ground in summer 2026. The first harvest is coming. We’re taking sourcing inquiries now.
