Why Microgreens? Because They’re the Perfect Urban Business
Microgreens are nutrient-packed, fast-growing, and in high demand at restaurants, farmers' markets, and health food stores. Unlike traditional farming, they require minimal space, no soil, and just 7–14 days from seed to harvest. Plus, they sell for up to $50 per pound—making them one of the most lucrative crops per square foot.
In this book, you’ll learn:
- Space-Saving Setup: How to configure a 3-shelf system in as little as 10 square feet, using affordable materials you can find at any hardware store.
- Step-by-Step Growing: From seed selection to harvest, including exact light, temperature, and humidity requirements tailored for urban environments.
- Profit-Driven Selling: Where to sell your microgreens (local chefs, grocery stores, online), how to price them for maximum profit, and how to build repeat customers.
- Scaling Strategies: How to expand from a single shelf to multiple units, hire help, and automate parts of the process to reach $1,000/month and beyond.
- Troubleshooting Guide: Common mistakes beginners make—and how to avoid them—so you don’t waste time or money.
