Every StoreField® tower may look like a clean and simple unit - microgreens growing quietly, harvested by hand, placed straight into a basket. But the magic begins before the first sprout appears. Inside each portion-sized square lies one of the most refined parts of the entire system: the StoreField® GrowPad™.
Designed for Growth, Built for Retail
At its core, the GrowPad™ is a growing medium. But unlike generic mats or substrates used in traditional cultivation, ours is tailored specifically for in-store growing conditions. The pad is made from compostable, natural fibers designed to hold the right amount of moisture while allowing airflow to support germination. It provides a clean, stable environment for microgreens to grow with no additives or manual intervention.
Seeds That Don’t Need Guesswork
Every GrowPad™ is pre-dosed with a carefully selected quantity of seeds. This allows us to ensure consistent growth and balanced yield without requiring staff to measure, soak, or prepare anything. It’s a ready-to-go solution that stores flat, activates on demand, and grows quickly once inserted into the tower. For retail staff, it means no errors, no waste, and no unnecessary handling.
Shelf-Stable Until It’s Time to Grow
Unlike perishable food items or trays that require refrigeration, the GrowPad™ remains shelf-stable until the moment it's activated. That drastically simplifies logistics - there’s no need for cold chain transport or precise delivery timing. Pads can be stored in bulk, loaded in batches, and inserted into towers as needed. This flexibility is key to StoreField®’s low-overhead, low-waste approach.
Engineered to Work Without Intervention
Everything about the GrowPad™ is designed to work in harmony with the tower’s automation. It doesn’t require misting systems, external light calculations, or fertilization schedules. The balance is already built in. It fits into the tower with zero alignment needed, starts growing within hours, and reaches harvest in just a few days and all without needing attention.
A Small Square That Carries a Lot of Thought
While it may look simple, the GrowPad™ encapsulates a great deal of experience in material design, food science, and agricultural engineering. It enables StoreField® to deliver live microgreens directly at the point of sale without relying on skilled labor, climate-controlled storage, or traditional farming infrastructure.
The result is a quiet but powerful component that makes fresh, in-store production possible in almost any retail setting. It’s this kind of detail that sets StoreField® apart and allows the system to scale, pad by pad, shelf by shelf.
