RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT
The Lundquist Family Six years ago, when Nate and Whit Lundquist were searching for a community to call home for their family and business, only Gahanna met all of their needs. “We loved the smaller community size and how involved Gahanna is with its residents,” Nate Lundquist said. “We’ve lived other places and it feels like, sure the town knows you’re there—but that’s about it. In Gahanna it always feels like the city is knocking on your door and asking you to come out and play.” The Lundquists had been planning to start an urban farm for about a year before the pandemic, but their work with content creation projects (film, advertising, etc.) kept them busy. When COVID-19 hit, much of that work disappeared. With extra time on their hands and an awareness of the community need for locally grown produce, they focused on how they could serve the community. That’s how MicroGiants was born. “Our family was working on living healthy—especially during the pandemic, and we wanted to help reconnect people in our community with healthy food,” Nate said. “Now, MicroGiants brings farming close to home and delivers fresh, local, organically-grown greens directly to customers every week, year-round.” “We just feel connected to the people here. We don’t feel like we live in our little plot of land in isolation from everyone else,” Nate said. “Gahanna is invested in the thriving of their residents and families.”
