TAKING ROOT IN ASHEVILLE, NC
For neighborhood bars, busy kitchens,
and whatever’s for dinner.
A fresh start from Miles Hug. We’re getting a little local microgreens business off the ground—and there’s plenty of good to grow.
Little leaves. Lots of possibilities.
NEW TO MICROGREENS?
They’re young edible greens, harvested while they’re small. Think peppery radish, sweet pea shoots, or a sunflower crunch. Familiar flavors, in a fresh little form.
Add them to the food you already love. That’s a good place to start.
A FEW GREENS TO GET TO KNOW
Pick a variety. Get a feel for the flavor.
Scroll a little. Watch it grow.
FOR A LITTLE KICK
Like a radish, only little. Bright, peppery leaves and colorful stems bring a fresh bite to something rich or savory.
Start with a pinch on your favorite taco. Let the pepper do the talking.
These are varieties we’re exploring. Our first crop list, prices, and buying options are still in the works.
PUT A LITTLE GREEN ON IT
From the first drink to the last bite, there’s room for something fresh.
FOR THE PEOPLE POURING
A simple highball or a house special. A fresh green garnish can be part of either. We’re starting with local bar teams and the flavors, portions, and practical details that matter to them.
A LITTLE FRESH FOR THE GLASS.NO SPECIAL OCCASION NEEDED
Try sweet pea shoots over eggs on toast. Breakfast, with something fresh.
Tuck sunflower greens into a sandwich or a grain bowl for a nutty bite.
A pinch of radish greens adds a fresh little kick to your favorite taco.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE GREENS
I’m getting Emerson Microgreens off the ground here in Asheville.
The idea is simple: grow something good, get to know the people who use it, and make fresh greens part of everyday life.
I’m starting with local bars and kitchens, with room at the table for home cooks, too. There’s a lot to work out, and I’m excited to see what takes root.
Emerson is my middle name. It felt like a good place to start.
A LITTLE UPDATE FROM EMERSON
We’re early in the growing story. Here’s where things stand.
Not just yet. Our first varieties, prices, and buying options are still being worked out. This is a first look at what Emerson could become.
All of the above. We’re starting with the needs of local bar teams and kitchens, while keeping everyday home cooking in the picture.
