Thrive and Grow Farms most recent spotlight article in Tucson Weekly, written by Veronica Kuffel, is a wonderful glimpse into our work and mission as regenerative agriculture entrepreneurs.

"Along with providing the land, Thrive and Grow Farms will also include their connections with local food markets and key business infrastructure. Any extra crops may be sold to the company to be freeze-dried, which will prevent spoilage and optimize sales for farmers. The company will sell the food under its new food brand, Truly Regenerative.

Ismail foreshadowed an upcoming trend toward regeneratively farmed products, much like the craze for organic foods. His mission is to help farmers see the value of these practices, not only to meet public demand but to create long-term profitability.

“One thing I believe is a common misconception is to do things right, you have to sacrifice a profitable business,” Ismail said. “We’re actually finding that it’s the opposite. These methods can create more stability for farmers and a better product for consumers.”

He noted the power of regenerative farming and its impact on the land. Along with examples of improved crop growth, Ismail’s demonstration farm is flourishing with a variety of native plants and animals."

Tours share accessible farming practices in Vail On one of his farm tours, Michael Ismail bent down to check on a rainbow cactus starting to bloom.

Spotlight on Sandwich Booster 🔦

This microgreen mix is a tasty blend of clover, mustard, alfalfa, and radish, offering a mild crunch with bits of spicy flavor to add to any sandwich (okay.. except pb&j), and as the name implies, giving it a boost! Using this mix is an easy way to include nutrient dense greens into a quick meal, if sandwiches and wraps are your thing 😎🤤

Check out some of the incredible health benefits of these babies: 👇🏻

Clover ~ provides high levels of vitamins C, A, B, and K 💪🏻 It’s also high in genistein and isoflavones which assist in preventing the formation of new blood vessels in cancer tumors. Pretty mighty for a tiny plant.

Radish ~ rich in magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, calcium, iron, manganese, pantothenic acid, potassium, riboflavin, and thiamin as well as vitamins C, A, and B6 🥵 That’s a hot lot! Additionally, radish is suggested to be an expectorant which aids in removing the build up of mucus from the respiratory tract. This micro definitely packs a punch 🤛🏻🌱

Our microgreens are certified naturally grown () meaning we use strictly organic seed and soil with zero herbicides and zero pesticides. You can pick up a package of Sandwich Booster microgreens at the Food Conspiracy Co-op () in downtown Tucson 🌵 Enjoy!

It's going to be a beautiful weekend for a farm tour! In addition to our full farm tour, this one includes a special demonstration by Michael. We’d love to see you! ☀️

Farm Tour This Weekend! With special a demonstration! Michael will show you how to set the level for rainwater basin spillways.
