Make Money Growing Microgreens

[@FOR8YESHUA]

Nutrient density is 3.9-40 times more nutrient dense than the mature plant.

[@MrGoprooutdoors]

Love this channel you deserve much more recognition and subscribers thanks for your help!

[@UrbanAviary]

+John Knight Thanks John, I appreciate that! It's growing pretty steadily, in a year from now I'm betting it'll be over 10,000. Fingers crossed

[@alexcantlow2920]

[@christopherstaples6758]

[@nahalka786]

[@raew5263]

Great vid! Can you do one on the harvest end of things? That would be awesome. Thx!

[@UrbanAviary]

You bet!!

[@SouthpawDavey]

I am looking into this now. Going to be building a new Unit for my grow room. I just need to find all the words in Swiss German to pitch it lol... Great post man.

[@UrbanAviary]

+Southpaw Davey Thanks man, good luck!

[@bonniehoke-scedrov4906]

This is my first time enjoying your KZbin channel. Great work! I’m looking forward to more great content from you. Thank you so much!

[@chuckblagg6523]

Thank you my friend for the great help!

[@bbetros]

Does anyone know the restrictions for selling microgreens or if you need some type of permit or anything of that nature ? Specifically in Los Angeles California

[@Steve-ps6qw]

You are so awesome for doing this!!! This is amazing, the potential is incredible.

[@hannahrohn8576]

Thank you for the great video! I was hoping you could tell me what requirements there are for selling your microgreens directly to restaurants? Are there health code regulations, permits, etc...? Been having a very hard time finding that information. Thanks! :)

[@UrbanAviary]

That depends entirely where you live. Where I live I don't need anything. Some places have lots of requirements, inspections etc. You'll need to contact your local department of health and/or department of agriculture. Hope that gives you some direction.

[@MisterMitchMM]

Interesting stuff. Are the bulbs you're using a spectrum like a grow light? Thank you for the link for the ebook. Thank you for sharing.

[@UrbanAviary]

+mr10man69 Nope, no grow spectrum. They don't need it for such a short growth period. Fluorescent does just fine.

[@jmc7981]

When you first started out, were you able to sell right away to Chefs without a business license?

[@UrbanAviary]

Yes, I don't bother with all that hassle until I've proved that the business model works. Chefs don't ask to see a business license, they just want a quality sample of your product.

[@jmc7981]

Urban Aviary, cool! Were they interested in buying right away, how much were you able to sell your first week or month, scouting out clients? And when did you decide to make it legit business assuming you obtain a business license?

[@SouthpawDavey]

For some reason I can not see your reply here I got notification but can not see it I have looked at my setting have a look at yours. Dave

[@UrbanAviary]

+Southpaw Davey Hmmm...shows on mine

[@SouthpawDavey]

all shows up fine now. Maybe a KZbin thing

[@fredgarvin4482]

why would micro greens need "micro green seeds" aren't the seeds the same since it is same plant? KZbin had an ad for micro green seeds

[@UrbanAviary]

Yes, its the same.

[@patflitrap2020]

Seeds labeled for Micro greens tend to be of a higher quality, cleaned and managed better then those for gardens. Some seed company simple charge more for the "labeling". Some sell off their "old seed" meaning they don't worry about percent of germination. Think of it like popping corn.... sometimes every seed pops, other times a percentage does not! The quest then, is it the seeds or methods!? --- Or, by nature, some seeds naturally are poor. You ant the cleanest (spell that less negative outcomes such as mold, fungus, or rot), highest yielding seeds you can afford, then use the best methods you can to produce the best produce while reducing your risks of being sued.... :)

[@UrbanAviary]

Well said

[@pablowalker8695]

you're gonna want untreated seeds vs treated. No pesticide contamination vs seeds that are treated with fungicide, herbicide or pesticide. When these plants grow to full maturity the contamination levels are very low risk. However if you're growing micro greens the contamination can be quite high, so its something to think about and take seriously in my opinion.

[@MrNathansnow79]

Great info, Thanks! Would you speak to a good source for bulk heirloom organic seeds?

[@UrbanAviary]

High Mowing Seeds

[@MrNathansnow79]

Urban Aviary thanks

[@EazyDaMonsta]

That was informative and simple thank you

[@emma_0527]

I want to know where you get those seeds in bulk

[@LoveyouEmanate]

emma_05 True Leaf Market

[@keving1774]

where do you sell them?

[@UrbanAviary]

Farmers Markets and to high end restaurants

[@back-to-basics]

Where'd you source your 10x20's from? They look more shallow than most on the market. How are they in terms of sturdiness?

[@UrbanAviary]

They are much sturdier. I get them from Second Sun Hydroponics

[@KillstreakPB]

How are these prices set? I can't seem to find an actual price list, and up in Ontario I'm not really finding much competition to compare prices

[@UrbanAviary]

It varies depending on your local market. I'd look into Curtis Stone's work, he's an urban farmer in BC. I'm sure he'll have that info on his channel "Urban Farmer Curtis Stone."

[@KillstreakPB]

Urban Aviary I'm a huge fan of his, I have used quite a few of his methods. I will have to do some more digging to find a price point. Thank you for this video and the help. I appreciate it!

[@baris222]

hi there, how much seed do you use per tray? thanks

[@UrbanAviary]

I just do it by eye. You want seeds to be about one seed length apart.

[@lesterhersh7184]

where do you buy your seeds

[@UrbanAviary]

I get mine at mountain valley seeds. That's because they are local to me. If you plan on having them shipped then I recommend High Mowing Seeds.

[@monichippewa2232]

i cant get the link to work

[@sirmonk23]

Do you have a link for the shelving unit?

[@etf_chach]

He mentioned Home Depot

[@raynechantel2738]

any shelves work - some are easier to move than others (for cleaning purposes or if you need to add more shelves).

[@cryptopirate8880]

How much can you make can u hit 80k?

[@UrbanAviary]

If you have the product and the market to support it then yes. That would be a pretty big operation. I'd start small and work you're way up to it though. The key is to verify that you have a market to sell that amount of product to.

[@brodiesakaluk34]

Is that a chicken in ur aquarium?...

[@UrbanAviary]

Quail actually

[@brodiesakaluk34]

Is that legal?

[@UrbanAviary]

Haha you bet!

[@Gorlung]

@@brodiesakaluk34 it depends on crime the chicken committed

[@tomjens2046]

50 bucks for that tray? I see restaurants paying it, but not people. It simply does not look that valuable to them. I mean what person would pay 50 bucks for such a tray that is so easy to grow themselves?

[@redhoward11]

tom jens they are usually sold in 2 to 4 Oz containers to the public.

[@fishyfingers3165]

If I eat little plants, will I get a beard as cool as yours?.... If so I'm sold 👍

[@UrbanAviary]

Likely

[@growstar6646]

Microgreens is cool !And delicious !)

[@Rainy-nx2ph]

do the stoplights have to be special growing lights?

[@UrbanAviary]

Nope, for microgreens you only need florecant light. No grow spectrum lights needed.

[@swaystar1235]

0:44 cant really be a pun because the phrase originated from a similar situation lol

[@smeedgar]

I'm interested in why you have poultry in a fish tank? Great video btw!

[@NMPR2207]

Just wow
