Meet Chef Jess: The heart behind Little Green Co.
Discover the passion and care that goes into every tray of microgreens.
My journey from kitchen to grow room
I’m Jess — a chef, gardener, and lifelong lover of good food. After years of working in professional kitchens, I’ve always been drawn to ingredients that are local, fresh, seasonal, flavourful, and grown with care. My own love of gardening eventually led me to start experimenting with microgreens, and I quickly fell in love with the process.
There’s something pretty special about planting a tiny seed and, just a few days later, having something vibrant, delicious and ready to eat. Little Green Co. grew from that love of growing and cooking — bringing together my kitchen experience and my passion for growing food.
Grown with care, harvested fresh
I started Little Green Co. to make beautiful, fresh microgreens more accessible to local home cooks and chefs, while growing in small batches so every tray gets the attention it deserves. Grown with care. Harvested fresh. Meant to be enjoyed.
Little Green Co. brings together two things I love most: growing food and cooking it. As a chef and gardener, I grow microgreens with the finished plate in mind — looking for varieties that bring beautiful colour, fresh flavour and interesting texture to your food.
What makes Little Green Co. different
Everything is grown in small batches and harvested fresh for local customers. I pay close attention to each tray, from seed to harvest, so you get greens that are fresh, vibrant and ready to enjoy.
Rather than offering the same selection every week, I love growing a variety of flavours and experimenting with something a little different. Some are sweet and tender, some peppery or spicy, and others bring a delicate herbal note. These aren’t just greens for garnish. They’re fresh ingredients, grown by a chef who loves food.
"You can totally see how much she cares for the greens. It’s like you can taste the love and attention that goes into it!"
