URBAN ROOTS Microgreens
OUR SERVICES
Welcome to the flavour rebellion
At Urban Roots, we’re all about Fresh Greens and Honest Roots—with a twist of bold personality. These aren't your average greens.
Our microgreens are tiny, but they show up loud - bursting with nutrients, packed with flavour, and grown with purpose.
They're the secret weapon in your salad, the crunch in your sandwich, and the unexpected star of your snack plate.
Grown in tight-knit urban spaces right here in Calgary, we use zero pesticides, zero fluff, and a whole lot of love to keep things clean, fresh, and full of life.
Each tray is harvested within 24 hours of delivery - because greens this fresh don't belong on a shelf. From health nuts to flavour chasers, toddlers to grandparents—if you're into real food with real character, you’ve just found your roots.
Join the rebellion against boring greens.
