About Micropod

Micropod aims to bring indoor gardening into people’s homes and to inspire a healthy lifestyle. Our hydroponic microgreen growing kits are our way of sharing what we’ve discovered to empower anyone, anywhere to grow their own fresh microgreens using our fun, easy and sustainable process. Micropod was established in 2016 in Auckland after its founder, Jeff, found out about the amazing health benefits of microgreens and then struggled to grow them at home due to the high maintenance traditional growing method. He enlisted the help of his mates; Brian, Ollie and Jonathan, to come up with a tidier and simpler way of growing this tiny superfood. We expanded to Australia in 2020. Our seed are sourced locally and seedmats are made right here in Sydney. Inspired by indoor farming and increased apartment-living, we wanted to put a new spin on at-home gardening – how about directly from your kitchen bench? Much like ourselves, we found that there were many people that also wanted the benefits of home-grown greens, but they lacked the space, time, climate or know-how.Read their story
