Why We Stopped Growing Microgreens

[@pikehomestead]

We did microgreens as a business for a few months before we moved and started our homestead journey. It's a great business if you have space for a few shelves and invest in the lights and whatnot as a side hustle. We have hardly touched doing them since we got our farm. It's a lot of work for a garnish. Great if you can sell at a profit to restaurants, but kinda meh for just for ourselves.

Never give up Bro

I so agree. It seems like such a waste of perfectly good seed.

You could try "forcing" greens too, probably takes a lot more space than you can afford but it's worth checking out

That's definitely our future goal. I really like Arkopia here on RUclips for his 12mo greenhouse. I'd love to be able to grow citrus and not be limited but it'd take quite the investment!

I approve this message.

Macro greens 🥦 > microgreens 🌱 1

I feel like you never said why you stopped, cause seeds are expensive? Because you don't have anyone to sell it too?

[@homegrownshow]

They're just overall not worth it to us. We'd rather be growing full greens and investing in whole vegetables rather than growing small greens.
