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.
Microgreen mixes - 4 popular blends from a basic salad blend to a spicy Asian mix.
Seed selection- a 10-point checklist for choosing the best seeds.
3 steps to a perfect microgreen crop - everything you need to know about planting growing and harvesting.
Marketing your microgreens, including 3 best markets for getting top retail prices.
Resources - videos for new growers and wholesale sources for seeds and supplies.
