Microgreens to Moolah

[@pamneill4174]

Josh, Thank you for being REAL about the numbers and breaking it down. I'm so tired of channels over hyping the money they make on microgreens. And love how clean and organized your place is. Inspiring! New subscriber here and keep em coming.

[@JoshSattinFarming]

Thank you for the kind words. I try to be as real as possible and promote sharing. It's the only way we can help each other grow good food and have sustainable farms. Thanks for watching!

[@philnagle8932]

I gotta say your videos feel quicker and more informative than all the other videos I've watched on Microgreens. I love it! I learn a ton, and you seem so honest and wise with your current practices and your expectations. Thank you for your time and effort, and allowing all of us to benefit!

[@RehoKevin]

Great video Josh ! Thanks for your honesty and transparency. Despite all of the challenges of growing food, growing is often the easy part, marketing and selling can be the biggest challenge.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

You are so right. In the case with microgreens, they are almost too easy (which is awesome because we can all grow super nutritious food for ourselves!). I think one of the biggest problems with making money from them however is timing. Just as they are easy and quick to grow, they also don't last long and expire quickly. It's not like a root vegetable that you can sell months later. Once you harvest, the clock is ticking!

[@JoshSattinFarming]

Yup! Most growers focus on growing, which is important, but if you can't sell it then you aren't making any money.

[@JWsCoinsandHobbies]

Love how you described overhead, I feel like lots of people don't think of that.

[@7337dougk]

Way to break it down!!! Thanks Josh, I have a rack ready to go and found your channel. Great info you helped clear up many questions I had.

[@JohnnyRFarmer]

Hey there big fella! I just found and subscribed to your channel. There are some great videos on converting regular fluorescent shop lights to LED. You bypass the ballast. Make sure you buy "single-ended" tubes. You may need to convert the "tombstones" but I found a 50 pack online for about 6 bucks. This is an excellent video. I have learned more from your channel in the last 24 hours than the last month of watching about all other microgreens. Good job and Merry Christmas!

[@jameshunt2905]

Hey Josh..... really appreciate all your work, both here online and with the gardens, community, education and the development efforts in entrepreneurial activity....... In the realm of cost accounting, the term you were looking for is “gross variable profit” and is a scope of criteria, minus a scope of known criteria and leading toward a “general idea” of what an endeavor might cost and then benefit as part of determining whether going forward looks like a good idea or otherwise....... Nice work on your part and clearly leaves many particulars open to be included as these insights are available and applied with different contexts in mind.

[@gdaly136]

[@notillgrowers]

Super helpful video, Josh! Great info.

[@dianeladico1769]

That was a very detailed and comprehensive analysis. Thanks for sharing. Your videos are always interesting. One thing you didn't say was you need to be the right kind of person to make a business out of this. Too often people are enthusiastic and well-intentioned but aren't prepared to commit the time and labor-not just the growing but the background research. You've done a great job so far of showing the background of what really goes into your business and what is necessary for success. Beyond the basics of a steady market and a good product, the reason for your success is you. You're a dedicated, precise, well-considered person who keeps his promises and that's the real reason you've done well. This is no get-rich-quick-with-no-effort endeavor and unless one is prepared to be hardworking and consistent it's unlikely they'll profit from it.

[@bizpix7301]

Another great video, Josh. Thanks! While not terribly significant, an added expense against sunflower profitability is the cost of water and electricity to wash and dry them and the additional setup costs of a washing station. Perhaps something for new growers to consider in their selections.

[@JoshSattinFarming]

All things should be considered before. As I said, I didn't factor labor into this at all because that is different for everyone. Water is basically free for me since I have a well. A washing station can be put together for a few hundred dollars. Check out the video on my washing station kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH2coXiplth1oK8

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

I'm not sure why microgreens would need to be washed. Sprouts... For sure.. That's common practice. But why would you have to wash a microgreen shoot? Adding water to the mix would seriously hamper storage in my opinion... Unnecessarily.

[@bizpix7301]

The Ripe Tomato Farms sunflowers are washed to remove the hulls.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

@@bizpix7301 gotcha. I've never washed them to remove the shells. I simply remove them mechanically.

I'm considering adding microgreens, but wasn't really sure about prices and such. Since I'm in the same context as you, your costs/prices will be similar to mine. It's encouraging to see! Thank you!

[@dang5203]

Thank you Josh, for putting out these informative videos. Very much appreciated! I conversed briefly with you via your live Q&A, in regards to high Brix, nutrient dense foods. I’d enjoy talking with you more on the subject in the future, if interested. I’m sincerely trying to be food-independent, as well as financially independent, sustained solely by efforts done on the “home stead”. I believe the world is moving toward “high Brix nutrient dense” foods, as more information comes forth about deceptions within the “organic” food industries. Therefore, my focus is presently on repeatable systems and practices to produce the highest quality produce, in a “crawl before you run” process. I make decent money doing construction, property maintenance, handyman work, that I can’t see a present agricultural system even coming close to. I’m trying to figure out how to span that gap. Presently, I’m working on producing the highest quality (beyond) organic eggs with a small flock of organic chickens. I’d love to send you a sample in the near future as they begin to lay. I’ve had high quality eggs from a woman that pointed me toward high Brix growing and practices several years ago, and I’ve never found eggs any where near the quality of hers. Quick tip to folks: soft rock phosphate - incorporated into everything.

[@dang5203]

C W When you can get most plants to produce sap with Brix measurements (which are Total Soluble Solids) over 12, you’re getting into high Brix plants. Google “Brix Chart”.

[@traveler7353]

Sell to health food stores, restaurants, farmers markets

[@TheNewMediaoftheDawn]

Very informative information... As someone who used to grow indoors, and I’m in a good market, Toronto Ontario, that’s a compelling crop for me to think about. Although your soil cost is pretty low, you could also reuse your soil, by mixing in compost to the used soil, watering with compost tea, liquid fish emulsion and liquid seaweed to restore fertility. Micro sprouts require very little as a lot of the nutrients and energy already come from the seed itself. Cheers.

[@rorywynhoff1549]

I think disease is the larger concern.

[@JoshSattinFarming]

It gets composted so essentially it gets used again. Easier and more reliable to just use fresh potting mix.

I've been growing purslane as a microgreen. It's really delicious and super easy and grows fairly fast in good light. Also, the sun/heat doesn't kill it in my area so I can do it without an indoor growing environment.

[@royalspin]

Going with LED lights would be a good idea long term especially since florescent lights lose their usable spectrum after a year or so . Just a thought but you probably already know this . Great info 👍

[@Nellyontheland]

Thank you for all those figures. One thing that one can get from this also is the reverse of the 'profit' motivation! That's to say; how much for initial setup (minus the equipment) of free-bees and samples! As these are given out the cost of delivery or market setup can be construed.

[@JoshSattinFarming]

It depends on how you are selling your product. I am selling to chefs so the initial sample cost is pretty low. As long as you do you research and possible some good networking ahead of time, then the sample cost is only for on initial meeting. There are often extra microgreens anyways that you can bag up for samples.

Excellent video, thanks! I am doing trials right now on these exact microgreens thanks to watching your videos! This is really helpful! Also, I didn't realize you had 4 bulbs on each rack -- I'm thinking that's making a difference since I only have two bulbs and I feel like they could use more light.

[@JoshSattinFarming]

Number, quality and temperature of the light bulbs make a difference. Also the height of the bulbs over the trays makes a difference. Lots of variables to play with.

[@ivicakoren1924]

Hi Is there need for special temperature, airflow or humidity for microgreens

[@JoshSattinFarming]

Temperature is not super specific, but it needs to be warm enough to germinate. The microgreens will grow faster if it is warmer. Good airflow is important and low humidity.

Did you ever struggled with any mold or bacteria with the micro greens, if so what did you do to prevent it?

[@JoshSattinFarming]

That is not been a problem for me. I grow them in my garage which is fairly climate controlled.

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Air flow, proper humidity, and proper temperatures along with a sterile organic potting mix. Nail those things and it's pretty hard to get mold or fungal problems, even if you wanted to.

[@c3mac55]

Check out city hydro for sanitation protocols, prevention is key.

I was wondering what you use for trays ? You say 4 trays is 8 sq ft so you are not using 1020 size flats. Is there a standard size for growing microgreens ? Growers on youtube talk about yield per tray but are they all using the same size tray ? And thanks for sharing your own bottom line ... was very helpful.

[@JoshSattinFarming]

Yes, I use the standard 1020 trays. They are roughly 10"x20" so I can fit 4 on a shelf. The rack is 2'x4', thus 8 sqft.

[@Beecozz7]

Excellent as always Josh, btw, you're letting your customers know your profit margins, LOL But your products are stellar!!! I'm just going to grow for personal use. Thanks so much!!! #knowyourfood #knowyourfarmer #buylocal BTW do you recycle the soil after harvest or does it go in the compost?

[@JoshSattinFarming]

No worries about that. If a chef asked me I would tell them my profit margins. I always talk to them about price so that I can get them the best deal possible. I try my best to provide good value for them. The soil and bottoms of the plants get composted.

[@4philipp]

Restaurants calculate prices as 7 times cost. That should be similar for the producer. Food has a short shelf life and is high risk for spoilage. That needs to be reflected in the price.

[@44wolfpacker]

Check your math on the green pea profit. I got 12.94 per tray using your numbers. Not a big difference just happened to notice when I was comparing my numbers. Love your videos. Cheers.

[@tlbelknap]

How do you advertise? Or what is your process to attract new customers?

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Best way is to go to the customer with samples. Give restaurants a living sample tray that they can cut the shoots from. Maybe print and laminate a few high end recipes that would get the chef's motor running. Biggest thing is they need it in front of their faces. Advertising alone might not work.

[@JoshSattinFarming]

I use Instagram for marketing, branding and image. I find most of my customers through good old-fashioned networking. A warm hand-off is the best and a chef will usually take some time to set up a meeting. Show up with some solid product and see what they are looking for. Sales can be tough for some people and might feel unnatural at first.

[@mirthenemrys]

I am slowly moving to doing a lot of back yard homesteading, and this type of thing is on my radar. the biggest problem in it for me is just how to go about finding places to sell it off. sure i have lots of farmers markets around me(live outside Pittsburgh PA), but thats generally only in the summer/fall. how does one get into selling to local stores(places like Giant Eagle, Shop N' Save, and so on in my area), and to restaurants... do you just cold call them or what. I guess not just a microgreens thing, but homestead farming in general. from fruits and veggies, down to eggs.

Retail places will be your toughest sell. I would start with trying to sell at a farmer's market or try to get into some restaurants. Good networking helps me with connecting with chefs.

((Chinese vs Thai vs Steakhouse, etc) I know I’m not in your immediate area but do you see plenty of demand in our area for micrgreens yet or are there enough growers growing them in this area?? I’m just west of you about 25 miles or so up 40, south of Burlington about 8 miles. I’m halfway between Durham and Greensboro. There is a lady in the Concorde area that has been doing micrgreens for 9 years and they call her the microgreen Queen and has been very successful with it. Maybe you and I could make an afternoon road trip down to see her operation and pick up some tips from the Queen herself, lol. One of her biggest sellers has been cilantro and she actually leaves the seed hull attached to the sprout cause the restaurants love the texture it provides. I’ve been trying to figure out if micro greens would be a beneficial crop for my farm or not. I need something to help get me thru the winter cause now the melons are all gone, green beans are starting to come in this weekend, still have okra, tomatoes are slowing, sunflowers are bout gone, etc. waiting for the collards and kale to be big enough to transplant, and waiting for Dorian to pass before sowing beets, turnips, and setting out cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels Sprout transplants and all my lettuce and spinach and I’m looking for a pretty quick crop that will cover the voids of while I’m waiting on all the other fall crops to mature and then I need something for over winter and the microgreens may just be the perfect thing.
