Meet the people behind the greens.
Katelyn & Trae
K & T Microgreens was started by two millennial health enthusiasts with a shared passion for food, fellowship, and healthy living.
As parents, friends, and members of the local community, they began noticing a rise in mental and physical health challenges among those they love — alongside a food system increasingly dominated by ultra-processed products made with low-quality, nutrient-depleted ingredients.
So we asked a simple question:
What if fresh, clean, nutrient-dense food was accessible to everyone — no matter their season of life?
For Katelyn,
it started at home.
As a stay-at-home mom who cooks from scratch and homeschools her children, Katelyn saw firsthand how food affects behavior, mood, and focus. Processed foods often led to noticeable shifts — while nutrient-dense meals brought calm, clarity, and balance.
Growing their own greens gave her peace of mind knowing her family was getting real vitamins and minerals — freshly harvested, free of synthetic chemicals.
An added bonus?
Growing microgreens became a hands-on science lesson her kids loved.
For Trae, it began in the kitchen.
With over a decade of professional culinary experience, his love for food started in his grandmother’s kitchen and carried him through years of work in local Pittsburgh restaurants and catering.
Immersed in the culinary world, Trae noticed a recurring problem:
even the best chefs were limited by poor-quality produce.
He knew great meals start with great ingredients — but sourcing truly fresh, local, nutrient-dense greens wasn’t easy.
Until now.
