The truth about growing microgreens…

Microgreens are a lot of work but can be a profitable business. Running a microgreens business takes a lot of dedication and routine. Growing microgreens is the easiest part- selling them is harder.

I grow microgreens in Chicago and agree with her. It's a lot of work and if you don't live in a foodie city, you aren't making $5k a month. My advice is to start by growing food for yourself and family. Master the craft, get you timelines down and dial in your equipment before you even think about selling it to restaurants. Because what most channels won't tell you is that if you do start regularly selling to a restaurant, they are going to expect the amount they want, when they want it, and will not accept anything but perfection when you deliver it. If you aren't ready to handle that level of precision growing, you aren't ready to sell yet. Just my 2 cents.

[@mahdiezmath7142]

awesome advice. Mind i ask how to pick out/ look around for a restaurant or consumers that would pay for them?

[@ethomas1995]

Same, I grew microgreens for an SQF certified business in StL for 3 years. You're lucky if you break even, past all the running costs, marketing for x amount of clientele, etc. It wasn't my own business. I got paid for labor & was exhausted with managing. There's a lot of upkeep regardless of active or passive fiscal expense.

[@ethomas1995]

​@@mahdiezmath7142 Research the areas of trend. I didn't actively do that when I worked as a microgreens grower. But I've learned by observation in the farming ag field. Look to where solid markets of consumers like to go to. If there's a particular area of strength in consumer habit.

You are so right, there is nothing passive about growing microgreens as a business. I did it myself and I still teach how to grow microgreens. You are committed 365 days a year. If you shut down because you're going away on vacation and have nobody to cover for you not only will you be shut down during the time that you're back but then you have the growth period where you don't sell anything.

[@Romeo-yq3vf]

Yes I don’t like this aspect. I want to be on vacation knowing that I’m still making sales! Instead, I feel like I’m missing out! That’s got to change!

[@JujuGurgel]

Taking care of anything that is alive, like plants, is never passive! Totally agree that it requires effort, time and a whole lot of passion.

[@Dobiemom420]

It’s not that much work! I do agree on it depends on where you live. I live in a big city and near a lot of health conscious wealthy areas. I have just started my Microgreens business and have not tried to sell any of them yet. I want to make sure I can stay consistent with my yields and quality but I can see how this can be very lucrative in certain areas. Compared to working in a hospital, this is extremely passive, seed and harvest day a week or so later are the only days you’re “busy” for a few hours. If you enjoy gardening and getting your hands in the dirt it’s not work at all. Like I said I haven’t even tried to sell mine yet and just lost my job I have no income at all right now but I’m just chillin. I can make this work and I’m enjoying the heck out of it! It’s very relaxing and nothing better than checking on your babies everyday. It’s really fun, so a lot of work depends on your definition of work. I’ve WORKED and just growing Microgreens is not a lot of work lol 😂

Hi‼️ Have you made money from your micro greens business yet❓️

[@Romeo-yq3vf]

This comment makes extremely no sense at ALLL… you just said you haven’t tried selling them so how would you know if it’s hard work? Growing for personal use at your own pace is not considered work! I really don’t understand your comment..

[@Dobiemom420]

@@Romeo-yq3vf first of all this comment was made a year ago. But for people who want to know it did end up being a personal garden. I never wanted to go to farmers markets & it did not interest me as much as I thought it would. So good luck. Too bad you don’t understand things but I no longer have an interest in Microgreens. And what I meant by hard work since you obviously don’t know anything about gardening, there’s a whole preparation process that has to happen before you can even get them ready to package, like germination & growing them properly before you can let others eat them. They’re done in 7-10 days & start over weekly. That’s a lot of work when you have other things going on! Not like you can let them go a couple of days without being checked on like other vegetables. So yeah it’s a lot of work when you don’t have time to do that everyday every week so whatever you don’t know my life. My mom was murdered & I’ve also had to show up for court a couple of times a month to make sure the murderer is put away, that takes precedence over Microgreens. But you didn’t know that but want to judge my comment? Not everyone has a slow paced life! Sux you’re just rude but yet didn’t think your opinion through thoroughly, that’s on you. You have every right to your opinion but you don’t know my back story and now you look stupid! Wow! A little advice….Think things through before you comment

[@Romeo-yq3vf]

@@Dobiemom420 First of all I would like to say sorry about your mother and I hope the murderer gets their just do.! I’m not sure why you reverted to name calling when I was simply pointing out your observation didn’t make complete sense at first. The video stated that a micro green business was a labor intensive job and you stated that it wasn’t, without actually having a microgreen business. I actually have one and it’s been a year, and just like any business, it’s what you put into it. You can make it easy you can make it hard. Anyway, I truly hope you find the love for micros again as you know they are a wonderful addition to anyone’s diet and can help in many ways..thanks!

Also unlike many faming practices, microgreens growers dont have the full opportunity to be self reliant and have a fully regenerative process.

Isn't anything done on a small scale can become passive...correct me if I'm wrong

[@xsw882]

so true. passive income means your not there to do work. By the same token passive aggressive means youre not there to be aggressive. Like throwing someones keys down a storm drain instead of confronting them, its not about mumbling something mean or being sarcastic

[@jamieredgate602]

People just throwing the word “passive” everywhere but not knowing what it means. Well that’s embarrassing. 😂

Thoughts on the greater Phoenix area??? Thanks

[@mariaisabeldominguez3100]

I agree, and i think its expensive, considering lots of seeds needed, I guess i prefer hydroponics

[@laceyjadehorrocks3698]

I live in one of the most Texas states out there that isn’t Texas, Indiana. I think I could make a killing here while still properly feeding myself

It is a lot of work and need a lot of money, especially if you don't have more space and need to grow the plants indoor. Think about the electrity bill, trays, lamps, water bills, etc.

I work 10 hours a day in construction and grow micro greens on the side, “a lot of work” is dependent on the person I guess

Your video left me with questions for you or any that's doing it done it . Where are you trying to do this commercially and is there anywhere in US or Canada you'd recommend trying and have you ever had a thick surplus with no outlet to sell them ? I'm pondering distributing them for free at a food bank or two with offer for them to subscribe or order them and provide email for feedback to see what is liked or disliked or what people want to buy . I figured I'm out of 60$ and a some time if it flops.

[@saraharrisgardening]

I am in Canada. Usually there wasn’t too much surplus because we grew what we knew we could sell at the market and everything else was grown to order. It’s not a bad idea you have but I’m not sure how much feedback you’d get- it’s worth a try though! Giving out samples to restaurants or friends will give you good feedback.

Active income is the word

[@2A_supporter]

No money comes from being lazy if you wanna make 5k a month then you gotta do 5k a month type of work too.

[@cheesemongering109]

[@ripcity909]
