Kijanprint Microfarm is more than a name—it’s our philosophy.

What’s in a Name?

  • Kijani means green in Swahili—a symbol of life, vitality, and rooted growth. It reflects our commitment to nourishing both people and planet.

  • Print is our process—a purposeful blueprint rooted in precision, sustainability, and care. It’s how we grow with intention and deliver bold, consistent flavor in every tray.

  • Together, KIJANIPRINT defines a new standard: A green print for bold, local farming that feeds the future.

We believe growth is more than a harvest—it’s a rhythm, a return, and a responsibility.

The Green Print Begins Here

KIJANIPRINT MICROFARM is a Detroit-based, mother–daughter indoor microfarm focused on quality, consistency, and community access.


We grow fresh microgreens year-round in small batches using clean, intentional methods.
