Coming to Houston, Texas
Microgreens & edible flowers for Houston kitchens.
Native Roots Farm, Austin's premier microgreens supplier, is heading to Houston. 20+ varieties of microgreens and edible flowers, harvested to order and delivered directly from our farm. No distributor, no transit days, no compromises on freshness.
What Houston chefs will get
We've been serving Austin's top restaurants and hotels for years. Everything we've built there comes to Houston: the same freshness, the same variety depth, the same direct relationship with the grower.
Harvested to order
Your trays are cut for your delivery. Not warehoused, not sitting in transit. Shelf life of 6 days, up to 13. That's 2–3x what a distributor offers.
Varieties they don't carry
Popcorn shoots, chervil, heirloom cilantro, red-veined sorrel, custom mixes. 20+ varieties including unusual and heirloom options most distributors don't stock. Or we grow it for you.
Direct from the grower
You text the farm, not an account rep. We visit your kitchen, learn your menu, and build an order around what you actually need.
What we'll grow for Houston
20+ varieties grown vertically in our farm using coconut fiber, seed, and water. Nothing else. Full catalog available from day one.
Cilantro
Bright, clean flavor. Our best seller, a staple in Latin, Asian, and modern American kitchens.
Micro Basil
Intensely aromatic. Perfect where a full basil leaf is too much: tasting menus, Italian, Mediterranean.
Rainbow Mix
Bold color and layered texture with bull's blood beet or edible flower petals. A visual statement on any plate.
Popcorn Shoots
Sweet, delicate, and unexpected. Guests ask about them every time.
Seasonal Edible Flower Mix
Curated seasonal mixes in Bold or Neutral palettes, perfect for plating, pastry, and events.
Sunflower
Nutty, hearty, and satisfying. Versatile across cuisines and a consistent crowd favorite.
Need something specific? Ask us. We can grow it within three weeks.

Working with Frank from Native Roots has been an incredible experience across different restaurant settings. He brought more than just microgreens. He brought reliability, consistency, and a genuine passion for his craft. His microgreens were always vibrant, fresh, and flavorful, and he took the time to understand each kitchen's unique needs.

Questions from Houston chefs
When will Native Roots Farm be in Houston?
Houston is on our expansion roadmap after San Antonio and Dallas. We're building the Houston waitlist now so chefs who sign up early get first access to samples, custom variety requests, and preferred scheduling the moment we launch.
How does the Houston waitlist work?
You add your name and kitchen. No commitment, no spam. When we're ready to serve Houston, we'll reach out to schedule a sample visit. You taste the product before you ever place an order.
What makes Native Roots different from a food distributor?
Everything is grown to order. Your trays are harvested specifically for your delivery, not pulled from stock. Typical shelf life is 6 days; up to 13 days. That's 2–3x what you get from a distributor. And you're texting the grower directly, not an account rep.
Will you carry heirloom and unusual varieties in Houston?
Yes. Our full 20+ variety catalog travels with us, including heirloom cilantro, red-veined sorrel, popcorn shoots, and custom mixes. If you need something specific, we can grow it within three weeks.
Do you supply edible flowers for Houston pastry and beverage programs?
Yes. Our Bold and Neutral edible flower mixes are built for plating, pastry, cocktails, and events. Houston has one of the strongest edible-flower search volumes in Texas, and our Neutral mix is a favorite for bakeries and pastry programs. We guarantee color vibe, not specific varieties.
Can I see samples before committing?
Always. When we expand to Houston, every new client starts with a kitchen visit and four samples: a wow, an easy, a familiar, and a wildcard. You taste and decide. No pressure, no commitment.
