- 💥With the farmers market season starting up in the Spring time, it's always a good idea to learn how to sell your microgreens, how to prepare for a market, and what you should expect when selling Microgreens to your local community.
Keep in mind that farmers markets are one of the many ways that people turn growing Microgreens into a business. It's also a great way to enhance your skills and meet potential clients that you can start a Microgreen delivery service!
✅ In this video we share our experience at our very first farmers market in Lucas, TX - along with how we priced our Microgreens, displayed our products, engaged with the community and more!
We had a complete blast sharing our greens with our local community and look forward to many more markets like this!! 🥳
Hope you enjoy and find some good take-aways from our advice!!!

#farmersmarket #Microgreens #Howtosellmicrogreens
I'm just coming across this video. I was there on your first time at the Lucas Farmers Market. I remember having a great visit and walking away with the Triple Mix. It was my first time trying Microgreens and 3 years later I've starting growing my own using your kits!!
That is seriously so cool. Thank you for leaving us this comment, its great to hear from the buyers perspective too. We're happy that you enjoyed the experience, and are growing microgreens now too!! Hope you are liking the kit!!
If you're not physically able to stand all day, bar height stools and things like director's chairs are a far, far better option than one of those low folding chairs.
Rather than having to run all over town...how about just setting up how ever many drop- off centers...like gyms, health food stores, co-ops...a couple of times a week, whatever and have customers pre-order and pay on your website.... I order farm fresh eggs like that and pick them up at a computer repair store....works elegantly....least amount of effort for the biggest impact....and get reviews from your customers.....on your site, or at your market....and print them....also hook up with your local Chamber of Commerce, Small/Local Business, etc organizations.....you can get a lot of support and free advertising from these agencies...What you're doing is lifting people's quality of health which reflect in their lives...ya can't lose
Yeah! That’s a great suggestion! We no longer do commercial sales because we focus teaching people how to grow now!
There are lots of microgreen growers doing what you described so it’s a proven model!
@@OnTheGrow WOW surprised you are not selling any longer. So how do you perform your teaching, meaning through instructional video's, classes at colleges or? Just curious and no doubt you are very successful! Thanks.
To WC: Wonderful suggestions! Wondering how you coordinate the drop offs with the businesses? Do you have literature at their businesses or does the drop-off happen actually outside of business? Thanks in advance for answers!
Ask folks to reveal something about themselves. Ask, in some way, “What do you like?” To eat? How to entertain? Do your kids like veggies? People love to talk about themselves. You might not be able to get them to stop, but they will certainly be engaged.
Also, display the salad mix, not in the baggie, but in a clamshell, and like a salad you would pick up at the Wawa, or at Whole Foods. Have a little salad dressing with a fork on the side in little packets, so they can eat it for their lunch right then and there. You might sell more that way and really make an impact (especially if people are hungry!).
You folks are absolutely fantastic. You’re incredibly professional in how you produce these wonderful micro greens and I’m learning so much from your videos every day. I can’t wait to become a full-scale hobbyist at micro greens and I will use your methods as my model. You guys are terrifically upbeat and very professional. Best of luck to you - you deserve it!

PS
I was fascinated with another very creative idea I saw with a micro green UA-camr from Australia.
He would sell tiny containers, like plastic round dishes which contained hummus, and plant micro greens which looks like a heart as a potted plant (uncut). He would cut out a heart shaped stencil in cardboard and plant the heart shape with amaranth. Then he would use cres around the edge of the heart shape as a contrast color. He had pictures on this website of the final product and it was really cute. That could be a real eye-catcher at a farmers market with the advantage that people could buy it and use it as a gift for others. So, around Valentine’s Day, for example? Someone could then put it up on their windowsill and clip off a few micro greens every day while still enjoying the pretty heart Image as a piece of art. This would also keep you and your product in their minds longer.
**********************************
PPS
Here is a link to one of those Peppe Fasso videos which, though it doesn’t show the precise heart shape, gives you an idea of the kind of product he is presenting at farmers markets in Australia. This guy is a real character and incredibly creative. He seems to have had a lot of success. Enjoy!

Inspiring! Thank you! I’ve recently started eating and growing Microgreens and I can’t stop. So much fun! Keep making these videos. So helpful! At 62 years young, my health is improving! Thanks😀
Thank you so much for the support! We are here to support you!! Microgreens are so tasty, beautiful and a huge bonus is they are really, really good for you!
I can get enough of your videos. Your commitment to excellence is impressive. Everything about both of you shows the utmost professionalism in everything you do. Would love more Farmer's Market videos. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the kinds words... It really means a lot to us because this is quite a bit of work and we just want to do our best to share! We will definitely be doing more for the markets when they start again in April. Our local farmers market is wanting us to bring our grow space to the market for people to see it! Should be a lot of fun!
Aww, she totally bathed you in compliments dude! You got a good girl! So funny about the mayor! I once waited on Carmelo Anthony and his son and they were talking about horses so I asked if they went to the stock show. They had no idea what I was talking about haha
Definitely have Mandy do micro green Recipes!!!
Just had my first Farmers Market here in N. Houston and everything you said here is SO true. It's probably not for everyone but I absolutely LOVED talking with people and selling nutritious, hard-to-find foods.
Vendors said I must be a natural salesman but the truth is, I just love the product so it's pretty damn easy!! :D
You both are so great with all you do!!! I have learned so much more from all your videos. When I learned that 1 cup of broccoli micro greens were equivalent to three large heads., And the vitamins and minerals that prevent cancer... I chose to follow your lead. To prevent cancer and live beyond 66 years. I love you guys and please keep on sharing.You guys are awesome...
So far this is my favorite Microgreens channel. You guys put out so much information (for free), that other Microgreens farmers do not provide unless you give hundreds of $$$ for their information. Thank you so much for your information!! And for that, I will be purchasing my supplies from you.
Thank you so much for the kind words and your support. It really means the world to us! We want everyone to be successful at this, so we do our best to share everything!
Thank you for the step by step, helps calm my nerves to begin growing and selling. And for reassuring that my natural love for the customer (standing and making eye contact) is a marketable skill.
I appreciate your encouragement, and love your combined energy.🔥
WOW! That lettuce seemed to expand 5x when you took it out of that baggy. Amazing!
Yeah, that packaging didn't do that lettuce justice!
Hello Mandi and CJ. You guys are so awesome. Thank you for teaching me all new things. As is I am shearing microgreen with frends. I sure do enjoy watching you two ☺️ oh I just had 79th birthday.
great advice, you two do a wonderful job explaining, teaching and your tests ore so interesting
Thank you so much Don! Your support means a lot to us!
Selling in a bundle, not just a mix because everyone loves bundles. I've seen farmers market 5 salads in 5 separate containers (not plastic bags) as a bundle and are the first to sell out. I think because your lunch is done for the week. One stood out to me. It came with little recipe card like this salad goes great with these nuts or theses dried berries or fruit and this particular balsamic.
💚Thank you so much for the Feedback Cynthia Pedraza! We appreciate your support!
Love the blog style video format! I would be interested in Mandy shooting a short segment on edible flowers.
Yay! We're so happy you loved it! She actually filmed the start of the edible flowers today! I should have it edited and posted probably tomorrow or Thursday!
Thanks for this informative video! It was wild when you opened up that $5.00 baggie and all of those microgreens exploded! You might have sold more of those if you actually showed how much was in them!! Cool! I've been watching all your videos for the past 3 days (I'm off work for 3 nights), & really learning a lot! I ordered some of those green/white sprouting trays, a knife, and some Coco Coir from Amazon!! I love microgreens, and am looking forward to growing different kinds! (It's just me in a 1-BR apartment, but I've got plants outside, now microgreens & sprouts inside! Fun, fun!!) Keep up the good work!!
Just finished my first 4 weeks at Winter market, and I wish I watched this a month ago, lol. Great points, very enjoyable:))
Lol, thank you so much and congratulations!! We're so glad you found it to be of value!
How awesome I didn't know ya'll were so close. I grow Microgreens in Caddo Mills attending a lot of markets this season. Thanks for sharing all of your information 🌱🙌🌱
Dallas! For some reason I thought you were Canadian 🤣 I'm not sure why I assumed that. Maybe because you seem so polite😅
Lol, we do our best to be respectful of others :)
You might be thinking of Curtis, Urban Farmer? He has done videos with On The Grow. Pretty sure he's from Canada?
We haven’t don’t any videos with Curtis 🤗 pretty sure he blocked us from commenting on his channel too 😂 I tried to talk to him once and my comment was hidden from the comment section, meaning he’s blocked us 🤷🏽 He is from Canada though!
Love the video! :-D Also a lot of experience in direct sales like this and whilst you were chatting about how, I was reminiscent of these moments and the training from my Mom. Yeah, also grew up in Mom's business haha. :-D Fun times. Body language with smiles and be genuine and engaging. No chairs, no eating at the stand is a good one because customers don't want to see you eating your pie at your stand. :-p Obvs. If you had a bad day, that happens, but serve your customer, it is not their problem. Don't flirt with chicks or get people's details for personal use etc. I have trained about 50 promoters for various stands and companies, brands and promotions over the years, helping Mom's company with marketing. HAd a corporate job in retail marketing then started my own video production company. It is Just Like That Productions (Pty) Ltd. (been liking your videos from there haha. :-p Was really fun to listen to your experience at the market guys! Thank your for sharing the knowledge and inspiring people. I am going to start out here in South Africa! :-p My grow trays are on the way! Blessings and be safe! Kind Regards Dietmar.
Love all of your information and honest sharing of information. Love all of your experiments! My kids and I are looking around our community and there is only 1 person doing this where we are! Such an amazing venture! Truly admirable, and so necessary in these strange days.
Hi, a very inspiring video. I'm in the process of setting up a micro green business in Denmark (Europe). I've watched quite a few of your videos and I've found them to be really informative and helpful. I would like to thank you for what you're doing.
Thank you so much for your feedback and support Johnny, we're glad that you've found our videos helpful! 😁
Hi Johnny, so how went your micro green business in Denmark?
@@hicham3656 I've been a little distracted this year. I've been growing microgreens for the family and experimenting with making fodder for my laying hens. I'm still intending for microgreens to be part of my overall business plan.
This was great and
For your time to make this video very informative
This video RIPS! Even in 2021. Rip on, my fave microgrowers!!!!! PEACE AND LOVE FROM UTAH
Excellent !!!
Thank you for sharing such a pleasant experience and for such good tips.
Omg I love the makeup pic! My boyfriend and I are buying our first rack system! Thanks for the vid and we love the experiment vids!
Thanks guys! You go so in-depth in all your videos!! In such a interesting and engaging way by the way~
Also, it would be so awesome and helpful to learn more about the sales part if you can please make videos on that
Thank you for your feedback!! We will put that on our video suggestion list 🥳
Most useful video on selling microgreens ever! Congrats!
Thank you so much!!! We’re so happy that this was of value to you!
Hi I have been fallowing your UA-cam channel,I live in UK and have to tell you is one the best you tube channel.
That is so amazing for you guys to share all this info for free specially your experience at Farmer's market.
I wish you all the success and say thank you for getting me into growing my own microgreen .
Congratulations on your first & successful market!! I too would love to see videos on recipes! (And I need to place another order!) 🤗
Thank you so much!!! It doubt it would've been as magical without your help! Mandi is really excited about the recipes so we will start filming some of those soon! We're so glad you loved the first order and we will reach out to you on insta to get you some more on the way!! Thank you again, you're amazing!!!
Thank you both are so very inspiring.
Hello I’m really interested in how you did your pricing do you think you could go over pricing you did for each variety and amount and how you got there that would be so helpful!!
Absolutely, emotions are contagious 🙂💯
Thank you for sharing your experience and tips at your farmer market. I really appreciate them. Have you guys consider diversifying your products of microgreens for pets such as cats etc? I feel most pet owners are very willing to spend on products that they feel are good for their beloved pets. Perhaps you can do a market survey and research on this. All the best!!
Thank you so much for the support pestanah!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄 I like this idea a lot...recipes for pets!!!
😉 Would you Be~Leaf we're actively working on tasty Human recipes that will highlight the various flavors of your favorite microgreens in surprising ways...Not just a garnish...yum!!
I think the thing I like most about the 2 of you is your energy and positive attitude. Your signage is easy to identify and your marketing Branding and marketing is what I've been watching because that is what I've been having trouble with would love to see your labels. Thank you for sharing.
We'd love to share our labels with you! If you wouldn't mind, go to our website and fill out our submission form so I can get your email and I will send back some pictures of our packaging/labels! Thank you so much for the support, we really appreciate it!!
Maybe in addition to business cards, you could put a QR code on your banner that will link people to your website and/or info.
Great Suggestion! I think that would be a good thing to add to our banner for sure! Happy New Year!
First time here. Love your video. Really informative and interesting. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for the support, it means a lot to us! 🤗🌱🌱
Man you guys are awesome! Thanks for sharing how to do this. Bless you.
🥳 Thank you for watching!
Just found your channel. So far I like your content and information! I have a garden/vlog style channel in Florida and i grow microgreens for my family. I always wanted to do more with my microgreens as far as selling. This is a great video with simple pointers. I look forward to going back through your other videos! Thanks
Thank you so much for the support! It really does mean a lot to us! Excited to checkout your channel!
You guys really rock! Thanks so much, for sharing all this hard earned information.
You the real MVP for the support! Thank you!
How cool! I'm in Plano and wanted to say Hello. I've been watching your videos and didn't realize y'all were so close by. Thanks for the videos & Best Wishes for your continued success!
Excellent Video! Very inspiring! Thank you so much. Very well done.
Appreciate that!!! Thank you for watching :D
And don’t over do it, you guys are on your purpose and should be excited for your future. You’ll figure it all out as you go. Everything is in order, ie
Knowledge, attitude, presentation, service, value, community, availability, details...
perfect...
good luck...
Thank you...
Thank you Greg Baker 🥳 We really appreciate your support!!
Thanks for all of the good information, and tips. You have an excellent set up. Respect
Thank you so much for the support! 😄🌱🌱
I really appreciate the enthusiasm you both bring to your work, and your patient explanations! I think the farmers market environment would lend itself best to mixes, with different flavor profiles or uses: spicy sandwich greens, salad toppings, asian stir fry mix, taco greens, etc. Mixes with 3 or 4 ingredients to make it easy to understand, including 1 with high color for visual interest. I like the idea of using large biodegradable PLA clamshells, loosely packed. You want to be impressing the customer with volume, not weight. Seeing the baby lettuce expand after being freed from the sandwich bag, that would have been an easy sale in a large clamshell - especially with some arugula and amaranth for color, labeled "Salad Enhancer" or something. Great work!
I find your videos amazing! My absolute favourite appreciated video is how to set up and sell- how to engage with customers.
I had scanned UA-cam for “farmers marketing selling” and finally I found your video. Absolutely the best information.
I applied your techniques on engaging, no chair sitting, samples and sold out at 2/3 markets that I was a vendor.
In reference to cell and chair slouching, I realized that the customer does not want to “bother” that vendor.
Hands down you two have the best video.
Oh I should mention I have a business degree and was never taught any of these sales techniques.
Betcha the university would hire you to teach your course on selling and all the other areas that you have success in.
I would have taken your course and skipped all the other time consuming information seeking.
You two are awesome!!!
Great video guys. I love how you guys learn something new and are already becoming teachers. That's the best way to grow. Keep it up! Love the tip to simply ask people how their day is going.
Thank you so much Tim!! We want everyone to be as successful as they can be so it only seems right to share as much as we can with everyone! Your support means a lot to us!
Have you thought about trying live harvesting? E.g. bringing a couple trays of each product you're selling and harvesting it when someone buys or just ahead of time? So you're showcasing exactly how fresh the produce is?
Good idea just seems like the temperature would have a BIG impact on how successful it turned out.
Just found your channel, loving the content on tips and growing. Hoping you will have more info on the market topic. Great channel.
really well done guys. I loved your setup. I like to set up but where I fall short is in sales. I think a lot of people do. Although if I am selling super clean greens, number one I believe in the product. Number two when I introduce my own greens that I grew into my system I am going to be super charged so with yalls help this is going to be fun.
You don’t need to send separate emails. Just email yourself and bcc them.
Thanks for the tip!
CONGRATS!
Thank you so much!!! It was a lot of fun!!
your minds must move at like a million miles an hour, so much attention to every little detail of everything lol
Mandi says “we’re somewhere between a hummingbird and a goldfish” 😂🌱🌱
Greetings Mandy and CJ! :-) I would love to find out where I can buy the type of table cloth banner you have used please! Further, I am new to your channel and knew nothing about microgreens. Many thanks for your generosity in sharing so much valuable information Very inspiring! Way to go - best wishes! :-)
Great video , I have started my grow and about to go to the market. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck on your growing journey!!
That "let's hide all the lettuce" trick. Wow. I think you should have emptied out a bag and put it beside the bags you were selling so that you could explain "doesn't look like there's much in there huh? We realised that too so this is what we've actually got in each one of those". Bam. When I saw how much came out of the bag I was sold. I'm only new to small farming but I hate the idea of plastic bags but it is a matter of finding the right packaging.
Muchas gracias por tomaros el tiempo de enseñarnos como trabajáis, la verdad que lo valoro muchisimo y espero que las cosas os vaya muy bien todo lo que hagáis, muchisima suerte y cuidaros. saludos
A foam kitchen mat is a foot saver at booths.
Great video and advice, I am thinking of starting to grow Microgreens here in the UK and all your videos are helping me with this. Thank you both for sharing.
Great tips! Thank you.
Thank you for this. This was a ton of content in a short period of time. Im new to the channel but I am here to learn and hopefully turn the same dream into a reality for myself and make it my day job as well. thank you
Excellent!
Thank you!! Happy New Year!
Cool!
Hey Folks, congratulations on your first farmers market. I love your display. It was simple, clean and to the point. Not too much which can make it overwhelming to the potential customer. I am from Jamaica and I am in the process of setting up my microgreen farm. For my packaging I am not using clap shell. I am using kraft box. The only drawback is customers won't be able to see inside the box.
How do you keep the microgreen fresh and not droopy?
What are weight and price do you sell to chef?
What is the distance from your farm to the farmers market?
How do you keep the microgreen cool during transport whether to the farmers market or to clients business place?
Please!!! I am begging you and Mandy to do video on edible flowers.
So we have tried quite a few different types of packaging and the plastic bags are what keep the produce fresh and crunchy for the longest time... we tried using some different paper sacks and bags and we noticed that if it doesn’t create an airtight seal, they will begin to droop quite quickly.
As for how we transported, we placed all of our products into insulated carrying packs that we actually use for our groceries and it kept them cool for us! If we wanted them to be even colder, we would put some ice or ice packs in there with them in the insulated cooler.
Luckily, we were only 2.2 miles away from our local farmers market so we only had a 5 minute drive there! Also it was so cold outside that we were able to bring our product without ice packs.
I will told Mandi that you’re wanting a video on the edible flowers, so we will start filming that this week!
Thank you for the support and let us know if we can help in any way! 🤗🌱
@@OnTheGrow Thanks for responding. Do a video on packaging of microgreen. What work as packaging and what doesn't work on packaging. I am going to do package test with clam shell vs Kraft box. You can do similar video and I know you will get a lot of reviews.
You have a short distance to travel.
What are the cost for microgreen and what is the weight?
@@RawbornJamaican Yeah, we are pretty lucky that most farmers markets around us are quite close!
We sold ours for $5.00 each, but the weights changed with each one... For example each of these sold for $5.00, 2.5oz of sunnies, 1.5oz broccoli, 2.5oz Speckled Peas 1.5oz Mustard, so on and so forth... We sold a mixed pack with a total of 5oz of product for $10.00.
I will make a video on some packaging!
Great job, as always! We love growing our processes and improving every day because of your commitment to our community of growers! If able, can you share some of the things you considered when designing your product labels? Specifically, if there were any required markings, labels, etc.
Thank you so much for the kind words!! Yeah, absolutely! We wanted to label to stay very clean looking and not overwhelming... the main things we definitely wanted to include was: A space for us to write out what crop/plant variety, a space for Harvest date and a space for us to fill out the net weight of the product. We also included signage that says "Wash before eating", "Keep Refrigerated", and "Enjoy!"... We also included our website and instagram information so that we can have a way for the consumer to contact us if needed. The labels may end up evolving a little overtime but they are currently really versatile and clean looking! I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions!
Best UA-cam channel out there! Great information and your positivity is contagious! You guys are awesome, the world needs more people like you!
@On the Grow,
I saw one person using paper bags. Yes, you're supporting the forestry industry this way, but the North American forestry industry has become more sustainable (due to regulations, media spotlights in past years), and at least that product can be recycled/composted/returned to the earth.
I'm thinking about making a very small-scale version of this, but would want to package my product in something recyclable.
Edit: For display, you could have a plastic bag/container showing each product, but then sell it with paper or something.
You guys are awesome 👏 thanks for sharing ✨✨✨🙏 Very knowledgeable information that I will be taking notes ... All the best of luck and success in your life and business! Hello from Canada
Thank you so much for the support!! We really appreciate it!
I found out about microgreens from my grasskeet parrots. The research in making food for them impressed me. I was bringing them a bowl of broccoli sprouts one day and found I ate them all before I got to their cages. 🙂
And here I am today (5/21/21) growing micro greens for my birds and family. I've got the whole set up and let's see where it takes me. I'll be visiting flea mkts tomorrow. See what's happening out there.
Great video guys, so glad the farmers market went well for ya'll. I hope to see more informational videos in the future, would love to chat about how getting started selling to chefs works best and just making sure you have the product for them on time. Thanks and hope to see you guys again in the future.
Thank you so much for the support! We are still crossing that bridge trying to figure out how best to sell to chefs and crop planning schedules... as soon as we get the basics down, we will definitely make a video on it and we can also chat with you as well! Thank you again for the support, it means a lot!
Thank you so much :)
Thank you for the support!!
You guys are so generous with your tips and advice you will get a lot of positive energy back from the universe to aid you on your journey of success well done
Thank you so much for the kind message! We do our best to help everyone as much as possible!!
Thank you
14:52 - maybe for that consider: having 1 big pile of each of the the different greens on some huge plate - and ppl can just say (for example) "i want 5 oz sunflower seeds" and then u have a scale to measure out 5 oz and u can put whatever u sell into a paper bag (in addition to the ones in plastic)
ppl who dont want to go thru that husle can still choose the prepackaged plastic thingies
Sounds like an interesting idea but just wondering about cleanliness. I might be conscience about that in the open air as a potential customer. Interested in hearing your thoughts about that? After Covid, I think so many have become such germafobes that honestly even with giving samples, I would use some very flimsy light weight throw away gloves just to give confidence that is how you run your microgreen farm. I like the idea of re-useable containers and selling just the product without container! Thanks....you got me thinking of possibilities as I begin growing my biz.
@@loriwoo8408 as long as ud handle them with some gloves/something to take them out of that big pile i dont see any problem with it - butchers do it similarly and meat is a bit more delicate to handle anyways
You say you grow organically, but are you really? I ask because most people using the growing solutions tend to think they are organic when most of them are not. It's nice if you really are paying extra attention to that aspect, as I have seen many people who innocently never thought of that or realized it. It is like hydroponic growers are many times mischaracterized by the general public as organic by accident.
Thanks for all the info you guys provide on your experiment videos. I enjoy them.
You guys are awesome! Thank you for all the knowledge!
Thank you so much for the support!! We really appreciate it!
The state I live in, as long as I don’t wash, or mix the greens, I don’t need a permit or to be inspected. I would like to grow different herbs, as well as the micros
Herbs are awesome to grow!! We grew a ton of Basils, Mints and so on and love them. They produce like crazy and are easy to grow.
Be mindful that basils cross pollinate very readily, so your seeds may not be true to the original plant variety.
Amazing video presentations you guys! Thank you👍 Do you continue to do the farmer’s market? Or will you continue if it’s seasonal? Have you settled on a “go to” (non-soil) growing medium / fertilizer combo yet after all the experimentation? (Ocean solution seems like it might not be an ideal standalone product)? Would you consider growing on smaller precut medium pads which can be lifted live into suitably sized recyclable clam shell containers? Finally, you mentioned you have purchased additional lighting - do you know when you will get around to test more lights? Also, you did one test with heat mat germination - is it something you implement regularly or was it just a one-off for the test video? Thank you for your time 😋
Appreciate the feedback! So we got invited back to do the farmers market again this year, and they really want us there but because we are about to move and decided to put our focus more on our UA-cam and teaching people.. We decided not to for the time being. But we always change our minds randomly so will see lol. Our go to medium is Coco-Coir. It always provides the best results and same with ocean solution until we find something we like more. That’s a great suggestion, but we actually switched over to using 32oz wide mouth mason jars where we basically do a system of exchanging the jars with the customer every time. Currently we are working on getting the lights set up so we can began more tests and as for the heat mats, it’s a totally new thing that we're experimenting with just in the videos at this moment. If it winds up working really well across most of the crops we grow…then will more then likely be adding that to our regular routine. But for now it's up in the air until we do more tests 🥳
As always so informative you both are amazing
Thank you so much for the support!
hey mayor! are you a farmer? hahaha, nice one!
great job you guys doing overall, love the videos and all the details and effort that goes into making them!
if you have time and are willing to try..... can we have a video on how to grow microgreen mint, please :)
thanks, guys!
You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for being so willing to share. I have learned so much and appreciate it!
Thank you so much for this video! You guys provided so many great detailed advice. My teenage daughter and I are in the research phase of entrepreneurship of selling microgreens, and this video is so far the best! Thank you!
WELL DONE. GREAT INFO
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your support!
Good Job! My wife and I live in Central Florida. We are saving up to start a Micro-green Farm ourselves. We are learning a lot from your video's. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the support!! We have seen soooo many people have great success when launching their own microgreen business! Start small! Our neighbor started his business for under $200 by borrowing some supplies from us and jumping into the deep end by signing up for a farmers market! See if you have anything laying around that might work to get started with and start playing around! We have some videos that talk about how to grow using supplies from around the house such as bowls, egg-cartons and more! Let us know if we can help in any way and be sure to check out our Book "Becoming a Microgreen Master". It covers so much that I wish we knew starting out on best practices for growing... We only have a digital eBook version now on our website and Amazon kindle, but the paperback version will be available in about two weeks hopefully! Thanks for the support!!
@@OnTheGrow Have you guys or have you "heard of" any success stories from just providing local neighbors and nearby towns an endless supply of micro greens. Our business is a supply of gourmet mushrooms (oyster and shitake)with organic micro greens
Absolutely! If you build up even a small following of weekly deliveries, you can do quite well. We suggest most people start with friends and family since it's super easy to get their support, then have them tell their friends and family if they have any close and generally it just ripples. You can also run local ads on Facebook or even sign up for produce apps that connect farmers with locals such as Vendor.
Tons of ways to find success with it! We got a list of I think 50 names from our first farmers market for individuals who were interested in getting product delivered weekly.
So many ways to find success with it! 🤗🌱🌱
congratulations guys! You guys are amazing, Thank you for the videos!
That was a great video! Thank You so much! I go to the Farmers Market every week and the tips that you gave really do make a huge difference! I also grow microgreens in my kitchen.
This is what makes us happy...to see other people growing microgreens and thriving! 😊 Thank you so much for the support Karen Doncoes!! We are going to be making new content soon! 😄 Send pictures of your farmers market experiences! We would love to see them and be proud!

Thank you so much for sharing your valuable experience. You guys are great and extremely helpful in explaining this business.
🙂Thank you so much for the Feedback Melissa Anderson! We appreciate your support! Keep "On The Grow"
I sometimes get microgreens in a biweekly delivery of organic vegetables and fruits. That’s how I became acquainted with them actually. You might look into becoming a supplier for that kind of food delivery service.
Another great idea for those of you looking at a microgreen business! 😀 Sharon Rose Again...we really benefit from your support and nice compliments!!! Have you visited our newest website...

I've just recently started to get interested in microgreens and growing them and I must say you guys rock. Subscribed right away. I live in Canada where it is quite cold in the winter so having the ability to grow such things indoors is great. I heard you guys do this full time as a job, and I'm curious as to what you might make per month, and how large your farm is. Thanks. Keep killing it
Love you guys! Keep it up! Love the team work! ❤
You guys rock! Amazing content. Wish this business content would get more love, but great video, thanks so much!
I would probably use the baggies for samples.
