The Taste of Quality™ 2017 CATALOG By 1995, David Sasuga had been growing flowering plants for twenty years, when a local chef came by his greenhouse and grew excited at the sight of basil seedlings, inspired to incorporate them into his dishes. This motivated Sasuga to experiment with these and other varieties of tiny, fresh-cut seedlings. Soon enough, his tiny crops were destined for more restaurants nearby as demand for these flavorful young edibles grew and Fresh Origins was born. DAVID SASUGA AND DAUGHTER KELLY With over 850,000 square feet in cultivation year round, Fresh Origins is America’s leading supplier of MicroGreens and Edible Flowers. Today, David and his family are America’s leading producers of MicroGreens and Edible Flowers. Combining the benefits of an ideal climate with a deep passion for quality and innovation, Fresh Origins products are robust, healthy, highly-flavored and sought after by the finest restaurants and top chefs.
