Our Story

Family Owned & Operated

BoxcarGreens supplies Premium Hyperlocal Greens, Herbs and Microgreens commonly found at the local grocer. We also offer unique, delicious, and colorful varieties, year-round that cannot be obtained at the grocery store to create wonderful meals at home. With 13,000 available plant sites, we are always growing new and interesting varieties. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to see what’s going on at the farm.

Keep your family eating delicious, fresh, clean, nutritious local greens, herbs and microgreens by ordering from our online store.  No middle men.  With a Boxcar Greens online order, you can get fresh produce on a weekly timeframe.  No longer will you have to pick over store bought produce grown in California or Mexico, grown and handled by multiple people and shipped for days while losing nutritional value. Leave it to family-owned BoxcarGreens and you will never go back to store bought greens again.
