Super fresh, nutritious & delicious
OUR MISSION
Ibiza Microgreens offer GMO free, locally and organically grown, nutritious and visually appealing microgreens to the beautiful island of Ibiza.
We are a small, family-owned urban farm located in the San Miquel de Balansat region.
We believe in local food production and healthy eating while minimising food miles and maximising nutrition. We grow microgreens indoors in a completely climate-controlled environment, ensuring fresh micros all year around.
Everything we produce is grown using only organic and GMO free seeds and all natural methods.
METHODS
VERTICAL FARMING
Innovative thinking • Vertical vs horisontal
90% less water
In a time where exploitation of land is increasing drastically and where clean and nutritious land get more scarce (especially on a small island), it is time to think innovative.
At our farm we approach agriculture in an innovative way. By growing vertically, we only need to use square meters rather than acers. Vertical farming is a revolutionary and more sustainable method of agriculture than its counterpart as it lowers the requirement of water and also saves considerable space and soil.
We use 90% less water than traditional farming and our urban location eliminates nearly all food miles.
ORGANIC SEEDS AND METHODS
Organic and GMO free seeds • Organic grow methods
We only use 100% organic seeds from trusted and certified suppliers.
We use the organic method for growing but we are not organic certified. Our micros are grown in compost soil, pure water, fresh air, and light. We have high standards for water quality. We use clean drinking water and control for proper pH-value, ensuring stress free growth for our microgreens.
Microgreens do not need any extra nutrients to grow. All we need to provide them with is light, air, and pure water. A recent study has shown that compost-grown microgreens have significant more minerals than when grown in other mediums. Our microgreens are for this reason planted in organic compost soil.

BETTER WORLD WITH BETTER FOOD
Sustainable future • Low-impact agriculture
Local production
In order to change your surroundings, you need to start with yourself.
At Ibiza Microgreens we specialize in growing the highest quality, nutrient dense microgreens that will help you live a healthier lifestyle.
We thrive to set our business model as a sustainable example for our community, our young daughter and future generations. We are committed to low-impact agriculture and our products are free from GMO, chemical pesticides and herbicides.
Since we try to harvest our microgreens the same day as delivery we can guarantee a super fresh product from farm to table. Going local with your micros also minimises any energy or emission demanding transportations.
WHY MICROGREENS
Edible Art - colour, flavour texture and nutritional boost.
Microgreens are edible art that will satisfy all your senses. This little vegetable will boost colour, enhance flavour and add texture to any dish, while providing a nutritional punch as well.
Only your imagination is the limit for how to use microgreens:
• Topping for salads, soups, flatbread or pizza
• Nutritional enhancer in smoothie or juice
• Garnish alongside any dish
• Additional greens to your omelette or frittata
• An replacement for lettuce on a burger, sandwich, or tacos
GOOD FOR US
Super healthy • 10-40 times the nutrition
Highly concentrated so less is needed
Microgreens might seem small and fragile, but it is a superfood ready to change the world.
The nutritional profile of each microgreen depends greatly on the type of microgreen you are eating. However, due to their dense source of nutrition (up to 40 percent higher), there is no need to consume as much amount as their mature (full-grown) counterparts.
Several studies have demonstrated the high level of phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that microgreens contain. Microgreens are also rich in enzymes, which enable them to be more easily digested.
GOOD FOR CHEFS
Best garnish • Elevates a dish • Extra crunch
Intense flavours • Beautiful element
Microgreens are often added to dishes for colour, texture, intense flavour and fragrant aroma.
It is our goal to help you provide the finest, freshest, local ingredients to your guests, and to enhance your reputation for uncommon, highly nutritious, and flavourful offerings.
GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Minimal environmental footprint • Super local
No demanding transportation
Transportation has a significant impact within the food sector, because food and vegetables are often transported long distances which equals to large quantities of emission. The transport sector contributes to approximate 27 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions within the EU countries.
Ibiza Microgreens offer local production and direct delivery with no commercial distribution chain or refrigerated semi-trucks which equals fresh, long-lasting produce with a fraction of the carbon footprint.
