Peak microgreens all started as an idea. Chace and Dave were both working in the restaurant and service industry when they met in Vail. After working together for a short time, they both realized that they shared a passion for the natural world and Chace started brainstorming ideas to create a career out of our passions. He came across some urban farms growing microgreens and they knew they landed on the right idea. Then began a simple mission to find out what the local produce scene was like, and found that there was a big space in the market for a new, high-quality microgreens company.

One day, out of the blue, Chace called Dave to go to Home Depot to check on some prices for equipment, and they ended up walking out with everything needed for a simple setup. And so it began, in Dave’s spare bedroom. 

Just having access to a spare room with no roommates provided Peak with the unique, small window needed to bootstrap this business together. The demand was increasing and the space was decreasing as they continued to fill both bedrooms and a good portion of the rest of the apartment with equipment. This pressure forced Peak Microgreens to find a commercial space as quickly as possible. The road to this space was a rocky one, with many dead ends, and the future of the business seemed uncertain for a moment. However, each missed opportunity provided a new learning experience and Peak Microgreens ended up in just the right place. It is the perfect combination of size, location, and price and this new facility now allows the delivery of fresh, local microgreens to the beautiful Vail Valley.
