Best wishes for Roberto and his projects. Here another idea for making use of surplus greens - ferment them, and maybe ferment, and then dehydrate for an amazing taste explosion. For John - an idea for a video is a visit with a seed grower for micro green seeds. That is a very important link in the food chain.

Thank you! We pour our heart and soul into our farm and our microgreens. Good point about seeds, as the microgreens industry is highly dependent on seed production. We are actually addressing this by cultivating our own seeds on our 35 acres starting next spring!

I grow broccoli, 5 part salad mix and chinese cabbage mix in my living room in seed starting mix (I soaked the seed starter mix in boiling water to kill bugs). They grow under a Ferry Morse grow light. I grow radish sprouts in a 4 tray seed sprouter kit. And alfalfa sprouts on the window sill. I love them all, especially drizzled with a vinaigrette dressing. ☺🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

I've watched three of his videos (not the entire video, they're waaay too long) and this is the third time I've seen him handling the food inappropriately. The other vids he had his hands all through it, like it was someone's hair or something. It's grotty. These people are working their arses off to have clean, enclosed, sanitary grow rooms and he's putting it on his head and running his hands though it. They're kinda enough to let him check out their farms, the least he could do is be respectful and practice proper food hygiene (GAP) handling procedures.

I agree with you, it is kind of weird! However, everyone is growing cannabis here, and now traditional farmers are moving to hemp so there is a huge gap in our local food production. And there is also an increasing surplus of cannabis and hemp, but the way we see it, everyone has to eat, but there is no reason why we can grow other things as well.
