Grown indoors · Riverdale, Georgia
Fon & Field supplies Atlanta's best kitchens and farmers markets with microgreens, specialty herbs, and edible flowers. Grown in OMRI-certified substrate, cut the morning of delivery.
We cut every tray the morning of delivery. Antioxidant activity begins declining within 48 hours of harvest. That is not a service feature. It is a science decision.
Grown in OMRI-listed coco coir with organic worm casting amendments. No synthetic fertilizers, no pesticides, no soil. CNG-compatible from day one.
Indoor controlled environment means consistent product regardless of season. No weather delays. No supply gaps. The same quality in January as in July.
Fon & Field is grounded in a specific idea: that the land you tend reflects the care you bring to it. Every decision here traces back to that.
"The relationship between grower and chef is built on one thing: reliability. The same product, every week, cut that morning."
Justin Sneed, Founder
Fon & Field exists because Atlanta deserves a local supplier who shows up consistently. Not occasionally. Not when the season cooperates. Every week, same product, cut that morning.
Veteran-owned and independently operated. Built around one principle: what reaches the table should always be worth serving.
Every growing decision at Fon & Field is grounded in peer-reviewed research. Substrate selection, harvest timing, nutrient protocols. Each one tied to published data, not convention.
We grow in OMRI-certified coconut coir because a 2024 study in Scientific Reports identified radish microgreens grown in cocopeat as producing the highest measured antioxidant activity among seven tested varieties. We chose Hong Vit radish as one of our first crops for exactly that reason.
Every product grown in OMRI-certified coco coir, harvested the morning of delivery, and labeled with the harvest date. The container tells you when it was cut. We stand behind that.
Our core microgreen varieties are selected for kitchen versatility, visual impact, and research-backed nutritional profiles. Pea shoots bring sweetness and volume. Hong Vit radish brings that signature pink stem and sharp bite that chefs reach for as a garnish.
Fresh-cut herbs grown to the same standard as our microgreens. Italian basil, cilantro, and flat-leaf parsley for market consumers. Premium varieties like shiso and Thai basil are available for restaurant accounts looking for something the distributor does not carry.
Edible flowers for fine dining plating and high-end event catering. Nasturtium, viola, and borage grown to spec. Available by advance arrangement for restaurant accounts. Not a farmers market staple, but the highest-margin product in the line.
We don't grow by convention. Substrate, nutrients, harvest timing: each is chosen based on peer-reviewed research, not habit. Here's how a tray moves from seed to your kitchen.
Every tray starts with Coco Bliss coco coir: OMRI listed, CNG-compatible, and fully inert. Amended with VermisTerra Premium earthworm castings for organic nutrient delivery. No synthetic fertilizers. No pesticides. No soil.
Why coco coir? Peer-reviewed research identifies radish microgreens grown in cocopeat as producing the highest measured antioxidant activity among seven tested growing substrates. (Gunjal et al., 2024)
Seeds are pre-soaked, planted at commercial density, and moved to a dedicated blackout germination chamber with consistent temperature and humidity. The Govee sensor array logs conditions every hour. No guesswork.
After germination, trays move to full-spectrum LED grow bars on a timed light cycle. Indoor controlled environment means identical conditions year-round. No seasonal variability, no weather surprises.
Each variety has a specific window where flavor concentration is highest and texture is at its best. For radish, that means the cotyledon stage before the first true leaf fully opens. For pea shoots, the moment the tendrils just begin to extend. The difference of a single day affects what ends up on the plate.
Indoor controlled environment makes this precision repeatable. Outdoor growing introduces variables that make this kind of consistency difficult to guarantee. The harvest date on every label is an accountability statement. A chef or a customer should always know exactly what they are working with.
Harvested with a commercial shearing tool, immediately packed into vented clamshells, labeled with variety, harvest date, and net weight, and refrigerated until delivery. The same morning. Every time.
"Research confirms that microgreens contain 30 to 40 times higher concentrations of certain vitamins and carotenoids than mature vegetables of the same species."
