Wow. Amen. My husband and I have started our microgreens business and it was the same way. We prayed and knew we were going to be farmers. We have 10.22 acres but this is our first viable crop. We just started about 2 weeks ago and sold to some friends from our first harvest. We so enjoy seeing these videos. They inspire us to keep going and we would love to see more. We’ve done the webinar and got the free resources and are praying about getting the course. Videos like this make it almost impossible not to get it. Thank you Nate for all you do. It has already helped us so much.
Wow Nicki, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such an awesome comment. You guys will get there!! And I'm here to help whenever you need something. Feel free to email me anytime nate @ microgreensfarmer.com.
You absolutely HAVE to show up at restaurants with samples and an educational brochure. I've never bothered with phone calls.
Love this..LOVE that you talked about faith ..I got the same message from above almost a year ago..Micros🌱 honeybees🐝 and Lavender💜 and that's exactly what I'm doing☺
Thanks for stopping by!
Yes...I've been praying as well. My health is not good at the monent and I cannot work. I can do this.. I love microgreens but haven't been able to afford them..There is no better medicine than Microgreens.
Amen! May you go from strength to strength!
Hey all, thought I'd give some pointers on finding restaurant business. I have been a chef for the past 15+ years. 1.) Picking restaurants. Take an hour or so to go through yelp and find restaurants that say new American or gastro pub, don't be afraid to hit up really ritzy places. You have to find the ones with a high enough price point for dishes that they are willing to pay for a head chef who is paid well enough to know what micro greens are.
2.) The right time. Pick a Monday or Tuesday between about 1:30-3 pm. Why these days? Because it's when head chefs are usually at the restaurant doing paperwork after their busy weekend times. Go and knock on the back door of any ritzy "dinner service only" establishment and I almost guarantee that the head chef will be there, and will probably be glad for the distraction (paperwork is the worst!). Oh, and makes sure it's not the beginning of February or May (as Valentines day and mother's day takes up most of a chef's head space for about 2 weeks prior to each of these dates.)
3.). Almost all Chef's like to think that they "know a guy." Bring samples to leave along with a card. If you are able to chit chat let them know what your normal market price is and knock off a couple dollars just for them if they decide to add you as a vendor. This is important. You can't walk into a restaurant and expect to get $6 for a 2 oz clamshell of micro greens. You have to decide if it's worth it to you to produce more for slightly less profit. If so, Chef's are awesome guinnie pigs when it comes to testing new product. Just throw a sample and a note in with your weekly delivery and they'll most likely tell you exactly what they like/don't like about a new variety you have.
Hope this helps! Love the videos!
Yes, absolutely would love to hear more interviews!
This is why I'm interested. Been retired and need something to do. Plus I have a 33 year old son who's available to help. 👍
And you sell your eggs too I suspect.
Thank you, Ryan. This was a great interview.
Nate, thank you for another awesome interview. Ryan, congratulations on starting a successful microgreens business!! For me labeling has been one of the most costly items of the business. Could you elaborate on using UPS for the printing of your labels? Thank you Ryan for sharing your experiences! Also, agree 100% on your struggles, exactly where I'm at right now. A lot of educating, knowing how to use them is what I found is the hurdle. I'm wondering if others experience this as well.
Do you have to grow a beard to get into the microgreens business?
Fantastic and very helpful video! Thank you!
Yes, definitely like these interview videos. No interview will ever beat Donnygreens video but what I love about these interviews is they all put a different slant on their business. I’m hoping to be interviewed some day as well!!
I just watched your free webinar and feel super inspired! Much love to you and your beautiful family ❤
I can't wait to get going with this business. Getting so much wonderful knowledge! Thank you Nate! I'm very happy for your interviewee!! Grow on! 👍✌👋😀💖🍀🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
😍😍😍😍🙏😁😀 Tanis!!
Thank you .video was very helpful. Your guest is a great and sincere man
Thanks for watching!
New to all this, really enjoy your interviews! Will definitely be looking into the guide you offer for starting a microgreen business here in Tulsa, OK! Thanks for all the info brother. God bless
Thanks for following along Anthony! I'm here to help however I can!
Im launching my microgreen bizz next month. Im watching!! 😁
Power to you my friend!! 😀👋💞🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🍀🌱🌱
Watch it grow ... watch it grow ... watch it grow! (Sing it!)
I have watched hours of your informational videos. I'm saving up money so I can take your course. Wish I had the money right now to take your course now. So I could quit my 13 hours a day job.
You'll get there my friend. Just take it one step at a time
Thank you so much for this informative video! I got so much out of it. I am also afraid to begin, but I am very encouraged by your testimony. Thank you!
Hi Nate, I really enjoyed this video interview with you and Ryan. I'm getting ready to embark on my microgreens journey. We will capture this with a new UA-cam channel. Our family just purchased 32 acres in Cicero, Indiana. I heard you say on one of your videos that you live in Indiana too. What town do you live in? I will be checking out your course soon. I would definitely say to make more interview videos with your students. It is interesting to hear how they got started and how they are doing.
Thoroughly enjoying your interviews with your students. I am looking from Trinidad and Tobago.
You are an inspiration Ryan, thank you for sharing your story 👍🏽
Right on guys !!! thanks for the video.
Awesome interview - thanks for all the tips Ryan!
Hey Im in SA, may eventually see you around! Congrats on the success so far
This is very inspiring, congrats Ryan. And thanks Nate for providing the information and content. Looks like a microgreens can totally be a part time job (year round), which is something I'm looking for.
AMAZING BEST VIDEO EVA..YOUR GUEST IS AWESOME
This is the second interview of yours that I've watched.
Very inspirational, but I wish you'd ask about price points, i.e, what do the greens sell for.
I love these interviews, they're very insightful and inspiring. Please do more!😊
I was thinking about going door to door and giving out free samples of my microgreens. I am just starting my business in a small town in the mountains and was curious to what everyone thinks about this idea? Only other form of marketing I have is leaving biz cards and flyers at businesses. I do not want to sell to restaraunt. Only to individual buyers. I'm wanting this to be just supplemental income so I'm not struggling month to month on bills anymore
Thanks heaps for awesome information 🌈
Great video thanks! What’s the best way to transport microgreens over a 20 mile distance? What and how do you package/transport it in? Thank you.
Great interview!
What kind of certification do you need to begin selling at farmers markets or just to bring some product by a store for them to sample?
good choice on intro music very easy to hear
How do you sign up for the workshop? I've been trying to sell microgreens to some small business.
Have sold a few times to business owners themselves, but not sure about how to go about getting them to buy to add to menu as toppings for subs, ects...
Awesome videos. Thank you for the information. Do you have any advice on if you need a license to sell the MG’s? Food safety etc.? I am in the states in Maryland and looking to start something like this. I have owned many businesses but never “food related.”
Love the subscription section at 17:20 - that churn rate is incredible! What is the average number of weeks/months before a customer cancels?
What is the price of course
Bonjour Nate 👋🏼,
Thank you for all the great info! Been binge watching several videos on UA-cam today. I particularly enjoyed ur interview with Don and this one with Ryan.
Just curious as to your thoughts on using soil vs. coconut fiber. I’m guessing it may have to do with mineral content and perhaps some seeds don’t do as well on the coconut fiber.
I first heard about microgreens when I was in Florida a couple of years ago and thought it would be a cool thing to try once I got settled in France, where I’m currently living. I still need to do a bit of research on the market here and all of the business laws, regulations and taxes...
I did stop by my local organic store this afternoon. They told me they usually carry 2-3 types (not sure if it was sprouts or microgreens), but they were sold out. They’re expecting a delivery tomorrow, so I’ll stop by again to see the pricing and name of supplier... I will also start hitting the farmer’s markets ASAP.
Next, I will have to find out where to get the seeds and materials here in France. Hoping I can get biodegradable packaging as I’m not crazy about using the plastic containers...
I’m signed up for ur webinar at 11am tomorrow.
Take care and merci 🌱🌱🌱👋🏼
Mimi
P.S. FYI, one of my nicknames as a kid was « Sprout » because I was so tall 🤣
Shop light? Are they as good as the high priced grow lights?
Where are you now? No more videos 🤷🏻♀️
Nate, I live in Florida, and the cottage food industry in my state does not allow me to sell anything that needs Refrigeration which they say includes cut leafy greens, or in my case harvested microgreens. Do you think it would be possible for me to grow microgreens in pots like a growing plant and just sell them live in the pots? Wondering if you've heard of anyone doing that and if they had Success With It. Thank you in advance for your help.
What does everyone think about getting local, state, and federal licenses/permits before starting to sell microgreens? Is it better to just get the business going first and then worry about jumping through all the bureaucratic hoops? And can they shut you down immediately if you are a new business that doesn’t have all the correct licenses yet? I live in Illinois.
do you guys have anyone in the UK not sure if the markets there ?
What is his profit? I don't know if I missed it
Nate, I signed up for your newsletter and read the quick start guide but how do I sign up for your free webinar?
you can register for a time at microgreensfarmer.com
what do people charge for the different containers?
Does this require a food handlers license or similar?
You guys are reading off the screens a lot... maybe look into teleprompters that you can place cameras behind.
Bro ...can you tell me...how to cut Microgreens.... how you cut the microgreens.
Hi, do you charge extra for the ice pack?
Where do I buy the course?
Wow. Anybody noticed? you two look like identical twins.. .
I could not find any seed suppliers here where I live (Bahrain) I've hot few questions on seeds .how often do I need to buy seeds ? how expensive are they ? can I harvest the seeds if I get the time and is it worth it ?
Hi initially I found difficult to find seeds in UK but I was happy to get from USA and Russia. postage can be off footing. But it was great start and gave me breathing space to start growing to approach restaurants to offer the products. Now I found local supplier. good luck. Let me know if you need the names of suppliers. Pl note I am not on commission. I was helped by other well established growers and I would do to the fellow grower. Microgreen community is the best in the world helping each other
Hi @@VijayaBjoshi, could you please share the local supplier contact with me?
