About Me:
As a young child, Jonah Krochmalnek, the visionary founder of Living Earth Farm, experienced the sheer delight of a ripe homegrown tomato from his dad's garden. It was a taste of pure magic, a simple pleasure he wanted to make accessible to all.
After leaving the corporate world, Jonah volunteered at a local farm, igniting his passion for farming. In 2013, he took a leap of faith and launched a microgreens business right out of his parents' modest 150 sqft spare room. Little did he know that this humble beginning would grow into the 5000 sqft facility known today as Living Earth Farm - one of Canada's premier organic microgreen growers.
Driven by the purpose of feeding people the absolute most nutritious greens, Jonah's journey is a testament to the transformative power of growing food. Through personalized consultations and impactful coaching, Jonah is on a mission to share his wealth of knowledge, helping vertical farms across the globe thrive and making delicious, simple food accessible to communities everywhere. Join us in making the impactful positive changes to our food system with microgreens!
I absolutely love the energy in this video. Two people, just talking about what they're so passionate about and you can almost physically feel their enthusiasm and love for what they do. So inspiring. Thanks for that.
Thanks Bill! Oliver and I definitely vibe really well and are both really passionate about farming!
Big fan of Oliver growing greens to orders. He clearly selected reliable restaurants to work with.

Olivers so great! Glad you enjoyed the tour :)
kudos to you for acknowledging your team. It's so good to hear how well oiled a small business is doing.
Boston Microgreens has a great team! The head of cultivation will be on the podcast in early February!
These videos are propelling me forward in the idea of starting a microgreens business the passion for growing and business is alive inside me
Amazing! So glad they are helping you on your journey! :)
I’m in the process of starting now and it’s going good and less daunting than I thought! You can do it!
AND it's a really fun business to build!@@lakethegreat420btc
What is realistic time frame expectations like months time vs a year from how fast can we profit
@@kaankizil8704 Depending on speed of growth it can vary from as fast as 1-2 months to as long as several years if you keep reinvesting the profit into growth. But the more investment the larger the return in the long run. Smaller short term profit vs larger long term profit
The soil sanctuary taught me a lot, server i found on discord. All about soil
You are incredibly inspiring for me to keep on in my little production (in Norway). Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!! It really means a lot. Best of luck on your microgreens journey! If you stay consistent, I can guarantee success with follow :)
Super cool! Thank you 🙏
There are entire civilizations in each try, billions of diverse Probiotic micro organisms work symbiotically to participate in life. Life begets life.
Yes, very cool to think about what’s below our feet that we can’t see!
WOW! Thank you for this channel!!
Glad your enjoying it!
Great video.
Very cool video 🙌
Whatever is cost effective at a particular point in time to provide growth for all ?? It takes, "Quality" "Pride" "Reputation" and a good bank to succeed. It's always a learning curve. Best of luck! (Luck? The intersection of preparation and opportunity). Great honest Vid.x5
Thank you!!
What a great video, thanks for the upload
Glad you enjoyed! :)
Great Content 💰
Absolutely.great.video..🙂🙃
I’m Energized 💚💚💚
With reuseing the soil, can put it directly into worm farming to produce even richer worm castings? I feel like that would be a great way to reuse the soil.
Yes it would, however worm castings won't be great for growing microgreens. You could create worm castings and then reuse it for other crops in greenhouses or in fields
Weed grass and barley need direct light to grow
What seed company is the one that shall not be named? Does it start with True.
I thought he meant Monsanto or Bayer but it turns out it was true leaf! Not as bad news as I thought :)
Great salesmanship
Olivers a natural :)
Nice Video, but I have a suggestion. When your panning around and moving the camera try to slow down and make it more fluid. :)
Appreciate the positive feedback friend :)
what seeds were you germinating in lights?
It seemed to be a Boston Microgreens secret, but feel free to reach out to Oliver!
So it wasn't hard to figure out "who will not be named" seed company. @Jonah a lot of people in your freedom farmers course group seem to be using them (in fact, I -just- placed an order with them!) Is there a particular reason why they would not be recommended? I know you often preach "you get what you pay for" but there were some items that were -way- cheaper in the order I just placed than if I had purchased from Johnny's. So I'm guessing I'm about to regret that decision?
Thanks as always for the great info!
I haven't personally used them, but I've only heard good things from others. Boston Microgreens purchased from the company that got bought out (Kitazawa seeds).
@@microgreensconsulting Thanks yeah I figured out who bought them out. Welp, I'll just have to wait and see. My order (from Kitazawa's purchaser) is on it's way. I'm experimenting with a few mixes before farmer's market season begins. I'll post my results in the freedom farmer's group. Thanks as always!
May i ask whar you typically charge a restaurant per 1020 tray
