About Tiny Space Greenz
Who runs Tiny Space Greenz?
Tiny Space Greenz is run by Lara and Campbell Duncan. Founded in 2022, we're Ashburton's first commercial vertical farm, and remain the district's longest-running pioneer in sustainable, indoor vertical agriculture.
Are your microgreens spray-free?
Yes. Our microgreens are grown in soil and are completely spray-free.
Is your farm 100% solar powered?
Not quite. Our electricity is offset with solar power, a system we've had in place since 2014. It reduces our carbon footprint significantly, though we're not fully off-grid.
What awards has Tiny Space Greenz won?
We were a Triple Finalist in the 2026 ANZ Business of the Year Awards, across the Environmental Sustainability, Primary Industries, and Emerging Business categories, and were featured in Business South Magazine in May 2026.

Buying Fresh Microgreens
Where can I buy your fresh microgreens as a home customer?
You can buy directly from us at the Ashburton Farmers Market every Saturday, where we harvest live trays on the spot so your microgreens are cut fresh in front of you. We're also currently looking into retail stockist options, so check back for updates.
Do I need to bring my own container to the Farmers Market?
It's encouraged, to help cut down on packaging waste. If you don't have one with you, we're happy to harvest your order into a paper bag instead.
How long do fresh microgreens last?
Most of our microgreens keep for around 10 days from harvest. A few more delicate varieties have a shorter best-before of 7 days.

Hospitality & Wholesale Supply
Do you deliver microgreens to restaurants and cafés?
Yes. We supply fresh, spray-free microgreens to hospitality kitchens across Ashburton (Monday and Thursday) and Methven (Wednesday).
How does your reusable container delivery system work?
It's a simple three-step system: you supply your own kitchen containers (or buy some from us), we harvest and deliver your microgreens straight into them, and on your next delivery we collect and swap your empty containers for freshly filled ones. No single-use packaging is involved.
Is there a minimum order for hospitality customers?
No, there's no minimum order.
How do I get started supplying my restaurant or café?
Download our current hospitality price list, choose the varieties you'd like to trial, and get in touch by email at sales@tinyspacegreenz.co.nz.
How are hospitality invoices handled?
Invoices are sent at the start of the following month and are due on the 20th.
What if a variety I want is out of stock?
Just contact us by email or via the website chat, and we'll make sure it's added to our next shipment for you.
