Our Story

Since 1982, long before it became a trend, we at Redhawk Harvest Haven have been cultivating and distributing fresh wheatgrass & microgreens. Harley Matsil initiated this venture in his Brooklyn backyard at a time when wheatgrass was virtually unknown in NYC. Inspired by his close friend Jack, who spoke of the wheatgrass he served on California beaches, Harley dreamed of introducing this exceptional superfood to New Yorkers. Thus, Redhawk Harvest Haven came into existence.

Today, Harley and his dedicated family & team cultivate their produce in Goshen, NY, and supply these vibrant superfoods to numerous juice bars, health food stores, supermarkets, and private residences in the tri-state area every week.

Our Philosophy

At Redhawk Harvest Haven, we hold a firm belief in the body’s inherent ability to heal itself with proper nutrition. Echoing Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician often regarded as the pioneer of modern medicine, we advocate for a diet that serves as our primary healthcare. Modern lifestyles, however, often deviate from this fundamental principle.

We consider wheatgrass & microgreens as the epitome of “Redhawk Foods” – packed with nutrients, delightful in taste, and remarkably simple to grow locally, even in urban settings or at home. Our mission is to provide and educate the New York region about these foods, aiming to enhance the health of thousands.

In an era crowded with health food products, including powders, bottled supplements, and pills, it’s challenging for consumers to discern true health benefits. We strive to clarify that nothing surpasses the nutritional value of fresh, green leafy vegetables, especially young greens like wheatgrass & microgreens.

Looking ahead, our ambition is to continue sharing these extraordinary foods, contributing to a societal shift towards plant-based nutrition, local agriculture, and sustainable practices.

How We Got Started Growing Grass

Harley and Jack, driven by their vision, reached out to the first three health food stores they found in the phone book, inquiring about their interest in wheatgrass. The immediate enthusiasm of these stores marked the beginning of their venture. 

It wasn’t easy at first. Convincing people to embrace this “green stuff” was challenging, but Harley and his team persisted, fully aware of wheatgrass’s potential and the positive impact they were making. Their perseverance led to the establishment of a home delivery service, and as demand surged, health food stores across NYC started offering fresh wheatgrass juice.
