Square Roots

You want local? Oh we GOT local!

Back in our produce department, it’s Square Roots with delicious, fresh mixed greens and herbs grown in modular, stacking hydroponic farms that allow them to grow the produce close to market using far less land and water than conventional farms! Grown in Kenosha, WI, these greens travel only 59 miles from where they are packaged to our shelves.

Try this: Square Roots spring mix, a Jake's Country Meats bacon crumbled on top, a smattering of roasted sunflower seeds, thinly sliced red onion, and - we know it’s a bit unconventional to some, but trust us – sliced Mick Klug Farm strawberries. Serve with a simple honey Dijon vinaigrette and thank us later.

Seeds is carrying a new brand of micro greens locally grown in Kentucky along with hydroponic local grown baby Bibb.

One of the things we love about our lemon basil is how unbelievably lemony it is. 🍋 Another thing we love is how well it goes with sweeter flavors. Case in point: this crispy, tangy, incredibly fresh lemon basil ricotta toast.

Our Kenosha operations manager Hank been gardening since he was a kid in Korea. He moved to Miami to study hotel management, and found himself running a midtown community garden. From there, he ran restaurants, where he’d garden on the patio. Hank’s love for greens led him to Square Roots, where he helps get quality produce to our customers, all year round. “As a former restaurant manager, it’s mind-blowing to me that we can grow the freshest, most aromatic basil in the middle of winter.”
