Microgreens
Fast trays
The kitchen crop. Dense, short-cycle greens we can actually keep moving for neighbors and cooks who want them.
Michigan · Indoor · Year-round
Grown under lights. Picked by hand.
Fairbanks Family Farms is a home hydroponic farm in Michigan’s Milford area. Microgreens, mushrooms, lettuce. We grow what we can tend. Order lettuce, mushrooms, and microgreens ahead. We confirm by email.
The trays
Three crops. Honest inventory.
Order ahead on Grow. We confirm availability, pickup, and total by email. Pay at pickup.
Mushrooms
A slower craft
We are building the habit. Not pretending we ship cases. When blocks are ready, the list hears first.
Lettuce
Steady heads
Grown under lights, not as seasonal theater. Small runs. No catalog of varieties we are not growing.
The method
What hydroponics grows well
Hydroponics is a natural fit for leafy greens, herbs, strawberries, and fruiting crops like tomatoes and peppers. Mushrooms stay on the farm but grow on blocks, not in water. These extra crops are what the method can do — not items for sale.

Home of the Dink Masters
Same household. Different craft. Andrew and Grace coach pickleball in the Metro Detroit area. Book court time and lessons in CourtReserve. Michigan / Metro Detroit area. Not a drop-in public club, and we do not list a street address as a venue.

The family
Not a catalog farm. Not a country club.
Andrew Fairbanks grows greens at home in Michigan. With Grace, he also runs Dink Masters. Two names, one household: Fairbanks Family Farms for the trays, Dink Masters for the court.
