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!

Thanks to you both for sharing your valuable knowledge. It will definitely help me get going.
Amazing, glad its motivating you!
,, as long as I don't work for anybody, were on that line '' that's what I think since 15 years as a chef in Zurich Switzerland. Im still on my way out.
Thank you so much for your generous sharing of great information.

Your very welcome Jon :)
I would love to hear about the licensing and regulations associated with home based grows in your videos. It is a whole layer of this business most don't see or get in to!
I am extremely curious as to what licensing and certifications he has to be able to sell to restaurants.
Every state and jurisdiction is different so its practically impossible to make content around this unfortunately
When is was in Indiana, all I had was liability insurance. I called a lot of people to make sure, but microgreens are not regulated. Sprouts are heavily regulated. You can ask a chef in your state.
How many trays could I buy when first starting out?
Bootstrap farmer sells them in as few as 2 trays per order, but id recommend getting at least 10-20 to start
I’m starting with 10…which you’ll need 20 solid trays and 10 with holes or mesh. I bought 10 with holes and 10 mesh bc I wasn’t sure. As far as I’m aware, you need 3 trays for each setup to get started. One for the bottom, one with mesh/holes on top of that and one on top to germinate. Once germinated, you take the top one off. I have about $400 invested and haven’t even grew anything yet lol. I’m literally starting today! I’m doing hydroponics with the ocean solution.
Has anyone tried promix BX?
Yes, it doesn't work as well for micros. Holds too much water
Infokd it super annoying that ai cant get the metal wire shelves you guys are using over here in Germany. 🇩🇪 only Amazon sells them but not the right size. Even researched chinese whole salers but to ship them would be too expensive.
What about PVC piping for shelves?
Zzz-zzzzzzzzzzz
Mist boring thing ive ever seen. Fail
