Who We Are
North Allston Farms is located in Boston, sandwiched between the Charles River and the Mass Pike. Our mission is to provide the local community with fresh, delicious, and responsibly-grown produce. We offer microgreens grown-to-order, available to enjoy within 24–48 hours from harvest.
We use non-GMO, mostly organic seeds and organic soil, then package the microgreens in plant-based, compostable containers. The greens are free of pesticides and BPAs, and the soil is composted and reused.
Beyond growing greens, we also grow community. We bring people together through hands-on microgreens workshops designed to inspire and empower others to grow their own food. Microgreens, with their short 10-day growth cycle, are a simple and powerful entry point for anyone—no garden required. Our customizable workshops are designed for all ages and settings, inviting participants to taste, plant, and learn. You don’t need a lot of space—just a windowsill or countertop can bring fresh, nutritious greens into your life.
I’m also an active member of the Allston Brighton Health Collaborative’s Food Access Committee, working to expand green and growing spaces across our neighborhoods and strengthen community health through food access and education.
My Story
I grew up in northern India, then moved to Boston in 1994 and have lived in North Allston for over 25 years. My wife and I raised our two boys here, and I have grown organic vegetables in our backyard for over a decade. Every year I experimented with fitting more plants and growing more produce, and I was never satisfied with only having one, two, or even ten raised beds. I wanted to take my growing to the next level, but I couldn’t imagine leaving Allston.
A few years back, I learned about microgreens and loved everything about them. Their nutritional value, taste, and compact growing needs were exactly what I was looking for to upscale my farming dreams. Finally, I can pursue my passion for growing nutritious and sustainable food to share with my neighbors, friends, and community—while helping others experience the joy of growing their own food too.
