Is Sensei Farms produce non-GMO?
Yes, all of our products are non-GMO.
Is Sensei Farms produce organic?
At this time, we do not qualify as organic by the USDA or the National Organic Standards Board. As a hydroponic farm, we do not grow in soil, so it’s not always appropriate to use fertilizers derived from organic sources like dead and decayed plants. In our greenhouses, we do contend with pests from time to time, but rarely require pesticides or herbicides. In Hawaii, we cannot use beneficials because they are not endemic to the islands, so we are very careful and mindful of our pest management strategies, always opting for organic compounds when possible.
Where can I find nutritional information for your products?
You can find the nutrition facts for our produce by visiting the USDA FoodData Central hub via https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/.
Our Farms
Where are your farms located?
We have two farms; our first farm is located on the island of Lāna’i in Hawaii, and our newest farm is in Ontario, Canada.
How does Sensei Farms grow its produce?
Unlike conventional outdoor-grown produce, we grow our produce indoors using a hydroponic growing system. Growing indoors has many advantages – the ability to provide the perfect environment and the right nutrition for our plants year-round; reducing land, water, and energy use while increasing yield and quality; and growing cleaner and more flavourful produce for consumers to enjoy safely.

Product Care
Do I need to wash my Sensei Farms produce before consumption?
Yes, please. Our products are purposely not washed to maintain their freshness and maximise shelf life. Moisture can speed up browning and wilting. To enjoy our produce at its best, please wash just before serving.
How should I store my Sensei Farms greens?
Store your mixed salad, leafy greens, and lettuce in the refrigerator, preferably in the crisper drawer. Keep the greens in their original container or wrap them in a kitchen cloth until ready to wash and eat. We recommend consuming within 5 days of purchase to enjoy our greens at their freshest.
