West Village Farms salad greens are locally grown indoors with zero pesticides and delivered just 48 hours after being harvested.
We are proud to carry greens in our produce department from local West Village Farms. Co-owned by West Coast master grower Matthias Cisowski, Will Tabajonda and Ken Kaneko, this Vancouver, WA-based leafy greens grower pairs traditional gardening know-how with a modern, contaminant-free growing environment. Delivered just 48 hours after being harvested, West Village Farms features a unique lineup of salad greens packaged in compostable plant-based containers.
Cisowski first made his name at the San Francisco-based Ecopia Farms, where he grew edible greens, flowers, and plants for the Bay Area’s top chefs and restaurants. Now he’s landed in the Pacific Northwest, where he and his team are bringing top-tier leafy greens to the Portland-metro area.

All plants are grown in an enclosed warehouse, allowing for an easily managed and clean growing conditions. Without pests to worry about, there’s no need to use pesticides — either organic or conventional — so the plants remain untouched by chemicals during the entire growing process. When the greens are harvested, there’s likewise no need for a chemical wash before it’s packaged and delivered to the retail market.
