About

Boring Greens is a Phoenix-based urban farm on a mission to make local food systems stronger, fresher, and more transparent. The brand challenges the status quo of industrial agriculture by growing hyper-local organic microgreens with sustainability, traceability, and community impact at the core of its operations.

Committed to accountability, Boring Greens is actively pursuing Organic certification, B-Corp status, and rigorous food safety standards. By combining high-tech hydroponics with bold values, the brand is proving that farming can be both innovative and ethical — delivering greens that are anything but boring.

Founding Story

Boring Greens started as founder Malik Casey-Rivers’ refusal to accept the myth of “fresh” food. A self-proclaimed foodie, Malik saw firsthand how most produce travels thousands of miles, sits in coolers for weeks, and still ends up on shelves marketed as fresh. Tired of the charade, he set out to disrupt the system by growing food the way it should be — hyper-local, organic, and packed with real flavor.

The name “Boring Greens” is tongue-in-cheek: while industrial agriculture hides behind glossy marketing, Malik believes the most radical act is to keep things simple — no chemicals, no shortcuts, no empty promises. The result is food that’s anything but boring: vibrant, nutrient-dense greens that bring honesty back to the plate and challenge the way communities think about freshness.
