Urban Farming in North Jersey

How Bijou is Changing the Game

Let’s be real: when most people think of farms, they picture wide open fields, tractors, and a barn or two. But here in North Jersey, something a little different is growing — and it’s shaking up the way we think about food.

Welcome to Bijou, a local urban farm turning small spaces into powerhouses of health, flavor, and freshness.

What Is Urban Farming, Anyway?

Urban farming is all about growing food where people actually live — not hours away in the countryside, but right here in our neighborhoods. In apartments, storefronts, and converted indoor spaces, farmers like us are producing fresh, clean, local food... right under your nose.

At Bijou, our focus is microgreens — tiny greens with big nutritional impact, grown from organic seeds with zero pesticides or herbicides. It’s clean, conscious, and crazy delicious.

Why North Jersey? Why Now?

We’re proud to call North Jersey home — not just because it’s where we live, but because it’s where we believe change can really take root. With more people looking for healthy, local food and a growing awareness of what we put on our plates, urban farming is perfectly timed to meet that demand.

And because we’re right here in the community, we offer hyper-local delivery — meaning your greens are harvested and on your plate in under 24 hours. That’s fresher than most grocery store produce.

More Than a Farm — It’s a Movement

Bijou isn’t just about growing food. We’re on a mission to elevate health in a micro way — starting with the tiniest, most powerful greens out there.

Here’s how we’re changing the game:

- Seed to Soul Philosophy: From planting to harvest, everything is done with care and intention. We grow clean, and we grow with purpose.

- From Farm to Table, Fast: We deliver weekly, biweekly, or by one-time order — all within 24 hours of harvesting.

- Custom Microgreen Mixes: We craft our own signature blends (because no one-size-fits-all around here).

- Workshops for Kids & Adults: Teaching the next generation (and this one) how to grow and eat better.

Why Microgreens Matter

They’re more than just garnish. Microgreens are nutritional powerhouses — packed with up to 40x nutrients of mature vegetables. They support digestion, immunity, brain function, and healthy skin — and they actually taste good.

Whether you’re feeding your family, blending a smoothie, or topping your avocado toast, microgreens bring the crunch, color, and clean nutrition your body craves.
