Microgreens

Fast trays

The kitchen crop. Dense, short-cycle greens we can actually keep moving for neighbors and cooks who want them.

Mushrooms

A slower craft

We are building the habit. Not pretending we ship cases. When blocks are ready, the list hears first.

Lettuce

Steady heads

Grown under lights, not as seasonal theater. Small runs. No catalog of varieties we are not growing.

The method

What hydroponics grows well

Hydroponics is a natural fit for leafy greens, herbs, strawberries, and fruiting crops like tomatoes and peppers. Mushrooms stay on the farm but grow on blocks, not in water. These extra crops are what the method can do — not items for sale.

Not a catalog farm. Not a country club.

Andrew Fairbanks grows greens at home in Michigan. With Grace, he also runs Dink Masters. Two names, one household: Fairbanks Family Farms for the trays, Dink Masters for the court.
