In 2018, our family moved to the high arctic, to the town of Aklavik, where we lived and worked for six years. While there, we longed for fresh produce and the vitamins it contains. In an effort to improve our health, we started growing microgreens for our family and soon began sharing the refreshing, crispy greens with our friends. Then we started to receive orders.

Our family has always been passionate about gardening, so once we moved back to Manitoba we decided to expand our business and offer this incredible food to our fellow Manitobans. The name of our company, Aurora Microgreens Corp., reflects our life in the North, the beautiful northern lights and our deep connection to the northern culture, which we'd like to share with our customers.

We value organic practices and use strictly organic seeds to grow our microgreens. We also use soil, rather than hydroponics, in our production, which we believe is the healthiest way to build our immune system. We believe that food is the best medicine, and our super crops can benefit our customers in many different ways. They contain up to 40 times more nutrients than their fully grown counterpart. Crops, such as broccoli, radish, kale and cabbage contain sulforaphane which has incredible health benefits, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and has been linked to reducing the risk of certain cancers. 

Looking into the future we hope to make a variety of microgreens available to Manitobans at an affordable price. Currently we offer regular subscriptions at a reduced price. We are also looking into partnerships with community organizations and schools and local businesses to deliver educational content through workshops on the health benefits of microgreens, how to use them and how to grow them at home.
