FAQ’s
What will it look like?
You decide! The image above offers a general look of what each size looks like and the difference between them. REMEMBER: Just because it is pictured here does not mean you will receive it. Example: Eggs are shown in every photo, however you can choose to have or not have eggs, etc.
Is it 100% Organic?
No, it’s not- but it can be if you want! We include produce details so you can make these decisions if they’re important to you and make your Sprout Box as organic as you want it. We work with certified organic farms, conventional farms and those that use strictly organic processes, but are not certified by the USDA.
Products to Expect in your Sprout Box:
We only offer produce grown in the state of Michigan. We work with farms on a personal basis to understand their farms, farming practices & business.
Why?
We are lovers of Michigan- it’s farmers, it’s people, it’s climate. We work to support our local economy surrounding Battle Creek and see it grow while nurturing the health of our communities through increased access to darn good, healthy food.
