Our story01

Scintilla Farms · San Diego

Born from a broken food system.

Native San Diegans Blake Cowling and Austin Collins started Scintilla Farms with a simple conviction: food should not lose its best qualities on the journey to your plate.

A better way to grow nearby.

We joined the urban farming movement to put high-quality, nutrient-dense food within reach of local restaurants and households. Vertical growing lets us make careful use of city space while keeping every step—from seed to delivery—close to home.

Our process

Grow.
Harvest.
Deliver.

01

Grow

We grow our microgreens in soil from seed. Depending on the variety, each crop takes 8 to 30 days.

02

Harvest

We harvest and package every crop ourselves, without chemical preservatives.

03

Deliver

On Tuesdays and Fridays, your greens are harvested the very same day—delivered to restaurants and caterers, or ready for household pickup at the farm.

Cultivated with precision

Small footprint. Full attention.

Our methods have been refined through years of experimentation—from soaking and planting to watering and sanitation. Every detail supports a clean, consistent crop.
