Growing Microgreens for Profit


Urban Farmer Curtis Stone talks about his three most profitable microgreens. Curtis has other videos on his microgreen operation in Canada, his soil mix, greenhouse construction, etc.


The second video demonstrates growing microgreens outdoors under mesh in tropical climates. The mesh keeps insects out, blocks the hot sun but still lets sufficient light and ventilation. It’s in Lao language but you can still see the basic idea. You can find many more microgreen/baby green videos online.

    The Microgreens Farmer offers a free ebook on how to grow and sell microgreens.

    Note how the process is a little trickier than he shows. For instance, in our hot tropical climate the microgreens tend to wither and get moldy.

    Here’s another video on growing microgreens in a basement:

  2. Previous videos explain how microgreens and baby greens are some of the most nutritious foods on earth. Eaten fresh, they have around 20-100 times more nutritioun than typical vegetables from a supermarket.
