Our story
Built in a Minneapolis backyard.
We're Sadie and Jasper, a mother-and-son team in the Northeast Arts District. We built Greenway Drip because we couldn't find the product we wanted — so we made it ourselves!
We realized we'd solved a real problem, and that other gardeners shouldn't have to go through what we did to get there.
Jasper leads our sourcing and supplier relationships, working directly with manufacturers in Mandarin and on marketing. Sadie handles operations and we both work on strategy together. We're based in Minneapolis, where urban agriculture is deeply rooted — and we're building this business to serve that community first before expanding.
Named for the greenways — transportation corridors designed for pedestrians and bicyclists across our fair city. Hyper-local food deserves hyper-local tools.
