Microgreens Business

Have you ever thought about starting a new business that doesn't require a lot of time, space, and investment? In this book, I want to tell you about this new business idea that can allow you to make a thousand dollars or more a week! Microgreens are a new category of vegetables that are harvested shortly after the first set of true leaves form. Some chefs in California have been using them since the mid-1980s, but the demand for microgreens has only recently grown exponentially. That's because microgreens are healthy foods that contain many more nutrients than plants harvested at an advanced stage of maturity. For this reason, they are recommended by nutritionists and are popular among healthy lifestyle enthusiasts and environmentally conscious people. Growing microgreens is quick and easy, with most microgreen varieties reaching a harvestable size in about two weeks, allowing for up to two dozen harvests in a year. Only some basic equipment is needed, and you don't have to worry too much about the plants. You can grow microgreens in a spare room of your house or in a small garage. Once or twice a week, you can harvest and sell your microgreens. In this book you will find: Which microgreens are best to start with, which are the easiest to grow, and which are the most difficult Step-by-step instructions for soil and hydroponic growing methods. How to solve the most common problems with microgreens. How to build a grow rack with readily available components without breaking the bank. How to set up a proper vertical farm in a small 60 square foot space. How to identify your market niche. Where to sell your products. How to build your brand. How to choose the best packaging. How to set prices. How to create labels and barcodes. How to comply with hygiene and food safety regulations. If you have no intention of selling your produce, but are curious to learn more about microgreens, I definitely recommend reading the book because this is not just a business book. Like I said, microgreens are incredible foods that are great for your health and are not easy to find on the market. By reading this volume, you will learn how to grow them yourself at home. This way you will always have a very fresh product with unique properties available for your consumption. What are you waiting for to get started? Start reading the book now. The world of microgreens will soon have no more secrets for you!

There are twenty million acres of lawns in North America. In their current form, these unproductive expanses of grass represent a significant financial and environmental cost. However, viewed through a different lens, they can also be seen as a tremendous source of opportunity. Access to land is a major barrier for many people who want to enter the agricultural sector, and urban and suburban yards have huge potential for would-be farmers wanting to become part of this growing movement. The Urban Farmer is a comprehensive, hands-on, practical manual to help you learn the techniques and business strategies you need to make a good living growing high-yield, high-value crops right in your own backyard (or someone else's). Major benefits include: Low capital investment and overhead costs Reduced need for expensive infrastructure Easy access to markets Growing food in the city means that fresh crops may travel only a few blocks from field to table, making this innovative approach the next logical step in the local food movement. Based on a scalable, easily reproduced business model, The Urban Farmer is your complete guide to minimizing risk and maximizing profit by using intensive production in small leased or borrowed spaces. Curtis Stone is the owner/operator of Green City Acres, a commercial urban farm growing vegetables for farmers markets, restaurants, and retail outlets. During his slower months, Curtis works as a public speaker, teacher, and consultant, sharing his story to inspire a new generation of farmers.

Microgreens, the young seedlings of herbs, vegetables, beans, seeds, and grains, contain four to six times the vitamins and phyto-nutrients found in mature leaves of the same plants. This comprehensive resource explains how to grow microgreens at home, both inexpensively and easily. It provides detailed instructions for selecting seeds and soil, along with guidance on proper temperature, light, and ventilation. Also covered are methods for both small- and large-scale growing of microgreens, how to extend harvests, and techniques for preventing contamination by bacteria and mold.

Included is a helpful guide to 55 species of microgreens, which profiles each green according to its flavor, preferred cultivar, special handling needs, and more.

Perk up your garden, your cooking, and your health with this “comprehensive look at microgreens”—from arugula to Tokyo Bekana—includes recipes (City Bitty Farm). Dubbed a culinary buzzword by National Public Radio, microgreens—vegetables harvested soon after sprouting—have become one of the hottest food trends. With simple instruction, Microgreens teaches how to plant, grow, and harvest microgreens from one’s own garden. The small amount of space needed to grow microgreens—a porch, patio, deck, or balcony will do—allows anyone to easily incorporate them into their daily meals, and the greens’ nutritional potency make them a must-eat in a healthy diet. Includes the microgreens: amaranth, arugula, basil, beet, broccoli, celery, chard, cilantro, cress, endive, mustard, pac choi, pea, purple cabbage, radish, and Tokyo Bekana.

Big Profits from Small Plants Unlike most other specialty food crops, microgreens are easy to grow and can be ready to sell in about two weeks. They can be grown indoors or outdoors, so microgreens are a perfect crop for urban farmers who may not have access to a patch of dirt. Because microgreens are expensive, selling for $20 to $60 per pound, growers can produce a solid income in a very small space compared to traditional farming. For example, growing microgreens on a rack or shelving to grow vertically can produce several pounds per square foot per month. You can start a microgreens business with just a small amount of money - as little as a few hundred dollars for seeds and supplies. Here's what you'll find in this book: Best microgreens to grow - 15 varieties that are easy for beginners. Each plant listing includes growing tips and the most popular varieties.
