Fresh Origins - A 'Must Have' on the Fine Dining Scene
Fresh Origins Farm specializes in fresh greens, microgreens and herbs, petite greens, and edible flowers for the fine dining industry.
Founded by David Sasuga, the farm is a small, family owned business that has been growing fresh microgreens for the restaurant industry since 1996. David had twenty years experience growing flowering plants before he founded Fresh Origins.
The 'seed' for the idea came from a visiting culinary chef who commented on how the basil seedlings he discovered growing on the farm could be used to beautifully enhance his restaurant creations.
Microgreens are still highly prized on the fine dining scene, but are definitely here to stay as they offer a burst of flavor, color, and texture that inspire chefs and restaurateurs and get their creative juices flowing. The flavors are intense and lively, Their beauty and freshness add a real touch of elegance to the dining experience, which explains their popularity with both chefs and fine restaurant patrons.

Chefs that have used microgreens are finding that Fresh Origins' Petite Greens are a welcome addition to their plates and palates. Petite Greens are finding their way into many innovative dishes, from appetizers to main courses and even desserts.
