The Mountain Man mission
Our mission is simple: to deliver premium microgreen varieties to passionate foodies and healthy eaters alike using aquaponics-driven science. And while we’re at it, we hope to build a better world for those who need it most.
A portion of every Mountain Man purchase feeds our mission to build sustainable aquaponics systems in developing countries across Africa.
As Director of Aquaponics and key board member of the nonprofit, Targeted Aquaponic Growth, our owner Andy McArdle is committed to showing the world the power of micro farming and aquaponics. In 2017, Andy helped the town of Arua, Uganda setup their own aquaponic system to create a sustainable source of nutrition and nourishment for local orphanages and schools. Giving struggling cities and villages the tools to grow, cultivate, and develop aquaponics systems doesn’t just provide them with a fresh food source—it creates an economy of supply and demand that encourages growth and educates youth.
OUR HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS
A passion for hydroponics with deep roots
Our founder Andy has a prolific background in hydroponics, aquaculture, and nutrition, giving him the unrivaled ability to stay one step ahead of the newest cultivation technologies and growing methods.
Since our early beginnings, Mountain Man microgreens have only been enjoyed by fine dining restaurants and cuisines throughout Colorado. But today, that all changes.
