How Our Delivery & Reusable Container System Works
Tiny Space Greenz supplies microgreens to local restaurants and cafés using a reusable container system. This reduces packaging waste and fits easily into existing kitchen storage.
Instead of receiving new single use plastic containers each week, your microgreens arrive in the same containers you already use in your kitchen. No fuss rinsing plastic clamshells, sorting recycling or repacking stock to make it fit in your fridge.
The Simple 3-Step System
1. Containers
You can supply your own clean containers that suit your kitchen storage system, or purchase containers from us.
Many kitchens prefer using their own containers because they stack neatly in their fridge and fit their workflow.
2. Delivery
We harvest your microgreens fresh for delivery into your containers before bringing them to your kitchen.
Orders arrive ready for service and can go straight into your fridge.
3. Container Swap
When we deliver, we collect your preferred clean empty containers so we can return them filled with fresh microgreens next time.
This keeps your kitchen organised and avoids single-use packaging.
Delivery Days
Regular deliveries help kitchens plan ordering and prep.
- Ashburton: Monday and Thursday
- Methven: Wednesday
Special deliveries may be possible when required.
Why We Use Reusable Containers
Less Waste
Avoids a stream of disposable plastic containers entering the waste system. Just with our Ashburton and Methven hospitality deliveries alone, we have eliminated over 5,000 single use plastic clamshells every year!
Better Kitchen Organisation
Using your own containers means they already fit your fridge layout and storage system. You've got your methods, we don't want to mess with them.
Consistent Supply
Containers are filled and returned ready for the next delivery cycle.

Farmers Market Customers
We also supply microgreens directly to customers at the Ashburton Farmers Market using a similar low-waste system.
Instead of bringing pre-packed containers, we bring live trays of microgreens and harvest them fresh in front of customers. This means the microgreens are cut just before they go home with you.
Bring Your Own Container
Customers are encouraged to bring their own containers to reduce packaging waste.
Freshly Harvested
Microgreens are harvested directly from the grow tray while you wait, ensuring maximum freshness.
Paper Bags Available
If you do not have a container with you, we can harvest your microgreens into a paper bag.
This system reduces packaging waste and ensures customers receive the freshest microgreens possible.
