Full interview with the Microgreens Farmer. He started in his parent’s basement and quickly expanded to a 2,000 sq. ft. grow space. Over the last two years he’s added new products such as sprouts and selling Easy Sprouter brand sprouting racks. He sells at farmer’s markets and makes home deliveries to coolers on customer’s doorsteps. Local restaurants buy through large food service companies so he goes direct to customers. His profit margin is very high (70-80%) because his main cost is seeds which are very cheap. His main advice is to smart small with a few varieties such as sunflower seeds and pea shoots, and only add new varieties after you master the process.
