Tiny Greens Farm, a micro-farm specializing in sustainable, soil-grown microgreens, has partnered with Chakra Bowls Cafe, Maggie’s Delivery Service and Laughing Gut Kombucha to offer a Whole Food 3-Day Gut Cleanse. This collaboration aims to promote gut health through a combination of fresh juices, microgreens, herbal teas and bone broth.

Participants in the cleanse receive a daily package including an “immune” wellness shot, organic herbal tea, Laughing Gut Kombucha, Get Yo’ Greens green juice, 16 ounces of bone broth and a Vitality Microgreens Salad Mix including fresh vegetables, avocado, organic nuts, seeds and vegan house-made dressings.

“Microgreens are tiny edible seedlings packed with nutrients, and our special vitality blend for the cleanse includes over 10 different varieties,” says Nicole Harris, owner and operator, adding that the microgreens grown at Tiny Greens Farm contain significantly higher nutrient densities compared to their mature counterparts.

The farm, located in East Fishkill, is committed to sustainable farming practices. Harris uses organic, non-GMO and heirloom seeds grown in certified organic soil, and employs advanced climate control systems to avoid herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and fertilizers. Greens are harvested on a weekly basis and delivered to chefs, wholesalers, retailers and grocers within 24 hours of packaging. Tiny Greens Farm also offers planting workshops and a seasonal microgreen subscription for local delivery/pick up.

“All food we eat contains macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients are fats, carbohydrates, proteins. Our bodies need these nutrients in larger quantities. Then there are micronutrients that we need to survive and thrive: vitamins and minerals. Microgreens are a rich source of micronutrients and phytonutrients,” explains Harris who is also a Certified Clinician in Whole Food Nutrition and a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.

Chakra Bowls Cafe, in Poughkeepsie, provides fresh vegetables, avocado, organic nuts, seeds and vegan house-made dressings for the microgreens salads included in the cleanse. Laughing Gut Kombucha, also in Poughkeepsie, supplies the kombucha, a fermented drink beneficial for the digestive system. “The cleanse’s local and organic bone broth is a great source of essential electrolytes, minerals and other nutrients helping to boost immunity, support adrenal repair and calm inflammation in the body,” adds Harris. “And fresh juices are essential during this cleanse to boost vitamin and mineral intake while giving your digestion a break.”
