I love how young people are open with people about business practices, rather than being selfish & viewing everyone else as a competitor.
So, if you work incredibly hard to innovate and develop your own idea, and take great risk financially to do so, you would have no problem with someone else taking that idea from you and profiting at your expense? And, by your logic, if you do have a problem with that, you are being "selfish" and "viewing them as competition".... may I suggest a remedial course in basic logic?
@@EnFuegoDuo a growing technique isn’t exactly hidden knowledge bud
@@EnFuegoDuo A grower in Idaho is no competitor to me in Florida. Plus, business has a lot to do with relationships. Food isn't Amazon drop shipping.
Agree, we all should give freely of our knowledge, it makes the most rewarding experiences. Scarcity mindset destroys business
If you truly ran an “entertainment” company as your tagline suggests you’d understand the importance of networking and relationships. Being selfish and cutthroat can sometimes be your worst attributes as a business owner/entrepreneur. Helping other people out doesn’t necessarily mean you’re giving them the keys to your business or livelihood. In fact, it can open many doors to other business opportunities or future collaborations.
A ‘tea bag’ of Coriander seed may help as a super potent antimicrobial when soaking any seeds, if concerned about sanitizing. I got that trick from brewing, fermenting, pickles, etc., now use with my home sprouting, bean cooking.
This is what I came to the comment section for. Thank you for your insight! I'm going to look into it :)
Dang, never thought of that!!! I’m looking into this one. Thanks!!
Thanks!
I think Moringa seed would be equally effective if not even more so.
have you tried neem meal?
my friend and i started a mircogreens Business here in the Chicagoland area we are about to send out our first orders next week Thursday and Friday !!!!
Goodluck guys! Hope it all goes well :)
Goodluck guys! Hope it all goes well :)
How much does it cost to produce compared to sale price? What can you expect profitwise ?
Thanks. Wish you all the best.
@@ThePursuitofHappiness Next to nothing after start-up costs, depend on the containers that you use. I've been thinking of microgreens buy may do full tomatoes, berries and such instead. It's really just your time that you put in and what you charge is based on what the market is charging in comparison to what you can afford to sell your products for.
You can start small and scale it up (recommended). It's of course based on demand as well. Best way to find out is to call around (restaurants are a good starting point) and see what's available to make deals on.
There's so many ways to exchange goods for money, it's unreal. Hard part is the footwork and finding what other people are charging to give you an idea of what to break into. Remembered to pay yourself as well.
Hey Anthony V. anyway I can connect with you? I'm interested in doing the same, I'm way out in the Northwest suburbs.
Wow. This is by far my favorite video about microgreens. I love how the entire process is freely shared. So much value here.
sure, anyone can grow it, but where to sell it all?
cannot agree more , ive yet to try micro greens but its got my interest. i'm going to look into the nutruient values /health benefits. i like how folk are looking for alternatives thats almost as important
@@gianthills set up a stand at a market , local restaurants etc.. like you i wouldnt know but i suppose you have to take a risk and see
Donnie's smartest business move was to realize the only person that gets rich in a Gold Rush is the guy selling shovels.
Yah at $999 per shovel lol
Im not selling any shovels. Shovels aren’t even used for growing microgreens!
@@WHATSUP7049 that’s Curtis’s course, I just helped a bit 🌱👍🏼

This was THE most fun microgreens 'how to' video I've watched so far. So glad I signed up for your last run of your training!!
Donny is such a likeable young man. It is great to see that he is so ambitious and hard working at such a young age. I know he will go far in life.
I have been binge watching your videos for hours. This guy Donny is my favourite besides you of course lol You two are going to be my way to be able to create my own income. The pandemic has me unemployed since last year. I came across your videos as i was searching for types of farming businesses. I just want to Thank you for doing this for all of us. Most people always try to sell all their content and you guys are giving us a chance to get started. I am literally in tears right now. I am going to do your web class right now. I wish everyone who is watching and getting started as well blessings on a successful business.
Much blessings to you as well. We all seem to be in a similar situation and are willing to jump right in. I pray you are successful as you have written what I was feeling. I'm grateful to be out of the rat race and into sheer independence. Wishing you and all viewers well in this business as well as personal growth. Keep us posted on your progress! #Cheers
Before the pandemic started I was saying we needed some world wide crisis... to wake people up. Easy times builds weak people and we are a world full if market reliant people. People that can't contribute to thier own sustainability, seperate from the commercial life we all have to live. I settles on a pandemic in my head... with in a couple months we were finally told what was going on....honestly the timing of my thoughts frighten me... but I took my own reason for thinking we needed this pandemic. I used my unemployment to buy a 5th wheel, I used my ssi when I was approved to buy livestock... goats sheep, turkey, chicken... currently. Going to work on rabbit, and quail as food sources as well.
I Do raise amazing healthy animals...but plants I kill lol.... I'm working on the growing plants, I think I'm gonna start with micro greens... my animals would enjoy them, and I'd eat them too.... thankyou for this video
Very informative. It is nice to see that you both are willing to SHARE this with the rest of us.
yeah, but the big mystery is the sales. where the hell can you sell it all when there are already several companies in every market.
pro tip, design your packaging so you can germinate the seed and grow it to maturity all in the packaging itself.
Some might buy but people are lazy, they want everything precut/prewashed, they just want to throw it on the plate.
I'm in the UK at last someone that actually helps and doesn't lead you down the garden path to a paid course... Thankyou both 😎
Lucky, huh? This information should be behind a paywall. At more than $10k a month, wouldn't a $500 two-day weekend course be worth it? It's just too bad so manny gimmedats want everything for free.
@@franksummerlin3422 stfu you fool. Not everything is about money , be grateful. Knowledge should be shared and its up to the person doing the educating to decide how to share it. If they dont want to monetise thats up to them, why are you angry?
I NEVER walk down the garden path to a new course anymore.
The only people that benefit spend 5 to 10 grand getting the upsell, and not most of them!
@@EthanfromEngland- Because he is a bloody crook ! Salute from France ;-)
good to have some good people out there....
I would love to hear about his watering process, seeding process, and the walk-thru of a process from the germ room to the fridge to the door. I want to see how efficient his process is and where he has waste that I could help with.
Better not let the government find out that you are successful. Great job need more people like you 👏 👍 😀
yea, especially in New Yorkistan
Kitazawa is out in Oakland CA that's specialized in Asian greens. One of the oldest seed companies in the Bay Area. Large portion of my seeds are from them.
Go you, Donnie! Always out there sharing your experiences and knowledge to help other growers.
This appears to me to be a great model for a new and better conversational style; a people’s capitalism: sharing and caring and helping people copy you and advance our common good. This is our new model, it brings me so much joy to see it being done so well
Oh boy, sounds like you’d love market socialism lmao
Down with Crony Capitalism.
Up with People's Capitalisn.
@@kaydenl6836 That's not even close to what they said. Do you really embrace the current model of capitalism? It's bound to fail.
@@MyStarPeopleExperiences what? When’d I say I like capitalism? I literally said market SOCIALISM-the workers owning and controlling the means of production, just operating within a market economy. Ideally, with the exception of necessities like food and healthcare (publicly owned resources there).
I couldnt copy this lmfao. Why?
1. Not enough money to start
2. Not enough space to start
3. Not enough people in my town that would want it
4. even if I could convince them to want it, they still wouldnt buy it for a lot. Most of the people near me are farmers, so if they want it, they grow it. Theyd only be paying for convenience
Amazing video for beginners that are interested in learning about microgreens and the amount of information he was willing to share is so appreciated, and thank you for interviewing him.
WOW! A friend of mine just told me about this business and of court that every business demand dedication, it seems to be such a nice type of business to grow.... I used to be a Travel Agent and after pandemic I have to move on, and I still looking something new to work.... I will take a chance in this microgreen world! I live in South Florida and I believe the demand is high here! Thank you for all the precious information!!! God bless y'all! 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
I subscribed with the cilantro comment 😂 this man learn the right way and is not afraid to tell about his mistakes . I want to get on this business. How is in ??
Thanks so much Curtis and Donny, this was very informational and inspiring for me as I'm getting ready to deliver my first micros!
if I start this bissnes, then where can I sell the product? which are that companyes, which will buy my product? and how can I connect to them?
#Congratulations
@@mamuka-kavelashvili1990
I'm not sure this would work in Georgia, but you could try. He developed a network of people who pay a subscription, like Netflix, where they pay every month to have microgreens delivered to them. You guys have a ton of agricultural production potential in Georgia, but not enough wealth or infrastructural connections with consumers.
How's it going now? Any updates you can share?
Wait a second. THIS KID GREW UP AROUND THE BLOCK FROM ME!! THE DELI, HIM SKATE BOARDING, OH MY GOD THIS IS SUCH A SMALL WORLD
These Good Guys are the future of independent cultivation and Quality of Life.
Thank y'all both so much for taking the time to spell this out in such great detail! I can't thank you guys enough.
Love both of you guys, thank you for the great content!
I’m about to resume growing from a short hiatus due to work and moving, can’t wait to come back into the market and start hitting my goals in the new year!
I effing love your shirt Mr.Stone
This is such a great product also. Really, like the best modern business ever. Super stoked. Love you Curtis, bless your heart!
Great content as always, Curtis. Thanks for introducing me/us to Donny’s channel. I’m actually in the process of doing the same thing Donny is doing. Perfect timing for this vid!
Fantastic! Couldn't sub to Donny's channel quickly enough. A great, informative video.
1. Does your business of microgreens get inspected like a resturant does since u r handling food.
2. How many employees do u have if any.
3. Would love to work for a company like this.
If selling to a restaurant everything needs to be restaurant grade.
There are also requirements for being a wholesaler that many state cottage laws allow you get around if selling on your property or at a farmers market.
Since differing states and municipalities have different requirements you may need to meet with an attorney to sort it all out.
You may also find that there is a gap between what you can do by yourself and where you need to be to have a similarly profitable commercial operation.
First growing microgreens are not sprouts because they are cut, so mainly you need to have clean trays, clean sanitation processes, a sink nearby. Every state has different listed protocols-for KS this is on the KState page, maybe check your local jurisdiction rules. Just like owning a food truck or something should you go big. But you do not have to treat this as a food handlers situation if you sell roadside or at a farmers market in Kansas. When you are selling small scale such as to a farm and art market you can bake your own cookies in a kitchen which isn't even certified as a bakery, but you are supposed to have directions labeled as to what the product is, whether it was washed. Rules mainly apply to commercial growers and when growing and selling to a grocery store or a restaurant. I would cross that bridge once you are a successful grower. Many growers not only grow microgreens but other veggies or flowers, so you do not have to concentrate solely on edibles, this is completely agricultural, yes its edible. It should be free from mold, animal or bugs/bacteria, but again, it is cut from the roots, so it should be free from those things, especially if you are following this business model. Grow indoors under grow lights and it will be relatively sanitary, otherwise to grow outdoors you will need to use greenhouse/shade cloth.

Kitazawa Seed Co is in California in case anybody was wondering
Thank you I’m in Cali will heading out to these location much! Bless load 🥰🙏
Hi Curtis
I am always inspired by watching your amazing method of microgreen. I am over 70 and live in Toronto, Ontario.
Sunflower hulls will float if soaked in a tub of water. A little peroxide will help bubble them right up. And a benefit sterilize the sun sprouts
Great effing video. So much knowledge being shared. Liked, subbed.
You've inspired me.
Quick question:
How can I determine if there's demand in my area?
I would visit farmers markets or look through Facebook for groups and ask around
Growing is not the issue when starting, anyone that is dedicated to do it can do it.
The issue when starting is trying to get into the market fighting for buyers as a new person getting into it.
True, your local market within a few hundred miles is key. If you are close to big metros with alot of fancy restaurants and trendy people you have a better chance. That would be my guess anyway.
No fighting necessary, just informing people and helping them to be healthier 🌱💚
@@DonnyGreens subscribed 😎👍
@@mattnetko2282 you wouldn’t know, you’re not farming are ya? You don’t hear the hundreds of testimonials and success stories me and Curtis hear and help facilitate. And PS YT ad revenue is peanuts compared to Curtis’s other revenue streams so you are clueless there as well pal. Not sure what lies you are referring to... Sorry dude, take the L on this one
Lol
Truly inspiring. Now I am starting to consider adding this to our business model. Thank you for sharing! Cheers from Spain.
You both freaking legends ! ! !
This is amazing. I am about to start growing fodder this way , I had thought of a herb nursery as well .
I'd would love to implement this idea on my farm in Johannesburg. As I am on the outskirts of the city and logistics was going to be an issue..
I'd love to see the business model..
What I've seen has beenery inspiring
Well done & keep it up..
So you’re growing micro greens and grasses for your animals?
Well done to both of you. Great interviewer and interviewee!
I loved this video, thought it was incredibly factual & informative. I'm ready to grow a few microgreens at home!
First comment yay! I’m just now about to get a spot cleaned out in my shop to make an area to start growing! Thanks for inspiring me when you started your channel! I hope to someday have replaced my job and work from home with my family running our own business and providing value to everyone in our lives! It’s been 6-7 years of learning and building the passion and I’m finally in a spot to start and very excited! Can’t wait to take your course either. After what you said yesterday on your live stream that I just have to start and everything will fall in place and god will essentially line everything else up well I fully believe you and pray my work will pay off! Thanks again Curtis. You’ve truly blessed my family with the fire you’ve spread over to me.
How grows it? Any updates?
Yeah! I’m in the process now of cleaning out my attic (trashed by previous tenants and wild animals, raccoons, cats etc) to get it insulated and hang some frames and drywall. I plan on turning this area into main grow room and then I plan on scaling up and moving down into the shop and installing an attic access pull down staircase that goes down into a tented off area in the shop. I’m excited, it’s a ton of work tho making this room suitable for plants
Updates were you growing microgreens
Great video, have reviewed parts of it several times. I see this as an additional way of farming especially living in the cold NW. Two questions; Do you reuse your soil and if so, how many times? 2: Do you have a refrigerated box or do you use some sort of ice chest when delivering. Thanks, Rob from Sandpoint, ID.
Oh man! This one probably got the trolls worked up. Glad to see this guy crushing it.
Sheeesh mans got finessed
Why would this bother trolls? They jus jealous
We "jus" jealous
Thanks a lot 😄 sending good vibes back your way ✨💨
No doubt the venom is real.
I watched your videos as well as Curtis Stones and love your content,
I was wondering where do you get your plastic containers and stickers from??
I checked at Sprouts market they sell their sprouts for #3.99 for 1.75 oz - you'd get 8.75 oz for 5 containers is 19.95 - where he sells 20 oz for $20. I'd use his business too.
This dude's story is pretty awesome!!
Awesome conversation!!! I found a lot of value in this. Thank you 🙏❤️
That's cool that you are offering other people your business plan. I wish I had the space and money to buy more growing equipment.
really fun conversation, well-done
Much love 🌱💚
The way you asked each ?uestion was SEAMLESS 🙏 🤲
This was great. Just starting and trying to absorb as much info as possible.
what do microgreen growers, at a commercial level, do with the waste? do they have their own compost piles and such?
What’s crazy is not even a month ago I had the same idea, why not deliver locally? Great move
It really just sounds like efficient restaurant prep except you grow your own food. Amazing stuff and really pretty simple if you think about it. It’s a straight line from seed to door.
Curious about the direct harvest to clamshell method and if that produces condensation in the container. I cut to bins so field heat comes off first, and have found that cooling them without lids works best, because of condensation otherwise. Great video. Thanks
When I harvest I immediately put my product in clamshells and into cold storage. It does condensate but it only rests on the plastic for an hour or so, I have microgreens in my fridge at home right now that I harvested 27 days ago and they just stopped being crunchy. I do wonder if chilling them before putting them in clamshells first might produce a longer lasting product.
What an awesome conversation.
Great video! Great questions and information provided!!
The restaurant industry is collapsing due to record inflation. Hope these businesses can survive and adapt.
Fing awesome best commercial ever.. I never thought to see a commercial that is informative that i can learn something from
came here for the interview, subbed because of your shirt!
I'm from Illinois near Chicago he'd never make that much money selling microgreens around here everybody's doing it you should tell the people about the competition instead of selling a pipe dream
Okay then be the better competitor and stand out. Shut the competition down. In everything, there’s always another person doing what you’re doing. It’s up to you to step up your game.
Expand your product line to include must haves that will make you the preferred all in one source.
Another grower cornered his own market by happenstance because he was growing his micro greens in full sun, making them far more colorful and flavorful than anyone else’s.
This man is a G. I appreciate you sharing him with us curtis .. you guys are killing the game. I've taking this entire winter off with growing anything..usually I'll grow some microgreens in winter. .but this is getting me excited again!
Just found your channel the other day. Loving the shirts....like this one in particular.
Curtis’s shirt is awesome.
This guy is really cool I like his community spirit 😊
Came for the microgreens, stayed for the shirt ❤️❤️❤️
Good morning Curtis, great content! How do you recommend us finding buyers or the demand for microgreens in our areas? Thanks!
Good question, what’s the answer?!
Ask around, and less rural areas would have a higher demand.
This has been an amazing eye opener for me. I've been #tuned in since 2017 on my personal channel and even my gaming channel and now I've been inspired to start my own agricultural business and homestead and listen to you to flee NYC. I have no regrets! I signed up for the courses as I build my property up. #Thankyoufortheinformation I would still be a slave worker in the biggest city in the world if you haven't confirmed what was already in my heart and soul screaming to get out. #Keepupthegreatwork I hope to be one of your #successstories #growing #microgreens and #sustaining my #family one day. #Cheers @UrbanFarmerCurtisStone

thank you for hosting the webinar today! I have good notes, and am starting soon! love from Uhuru Bear
Amazing info work and very valuable for anyone looking into any sort of small-scale food growing...
The fact that this kid can grow micro greens us evidence enough of how easy they are to cultivate.
Watched because of being interested in microgreens. Subscribed because of his shirt.
Great content, and I love your t-shirt!
Interesting. I just heard about microgreens and how people are making a lot of money. What about food safety though? Do you need to be certified and licensed to sell the public?
can you package microgreens in something that's not plastic?
That title is misleading, seem like click-bait. It was $17,000 for ONE month (thanks to corona), not $17,000 per month!
Nice vid. That's awesome for him. He's a good grower.
So 1. Market 2. Distribution management 3. Software management 5. Matching supply and demand 6. Feedback
7. Live in NYC...a population density and economy that supports your product
What a great, informative video. Thank you!
Can US growers stay in business if our restaurants go under?
yes, direct to consumer
Watch the interview and you'll know
@@ronnychristenjoyer6778 Thank you 🙏
Yes, this video gives these exact insights
Direct to consumer is easier said than done. My restaurant orders were several hundred dollars with one quick stop a week. Seems like it will take me a ton of customers to equal just one restaurant client.
Danny Grern lives on long Island NewYork.. its has alot of wealth healthy culture living in the east end of long Island. The Hamptons is where i grown up snd they love farmers market and eating microgreens.for a healthier lifestyle 🎉🎉 do your homework and have a passion for what you love doing..

great vid , well done ,informative, dont need to add anything that isnt in the comments below. Respect
Love this channel-Thank You guys for the inspiration.
I love this model and I grow micro greens for me and my family, but I guess I'm glad I'm a plumber... average 35K/month and it's only me. Net is 15-20K/month. Overhead is my truck, insurance, licenses, materials, website, miscellaneous, tools, special equipment. It's all paid for, no debt. I love gardening, but not as a business. Side hustle, maybe. Show me a model where I can earn 30-40K/month, single operator, ½-¾ acre, and I'm in.
Cool, glad we could help build your business.
This is really informative! Hope this spurs a growing movement!

For a moment I wondered when I had commented this video.
@@DonnyGreens no, thats what happens when you choke down a load of crab like this video or when you eat a bunch of phosphorus and phytotoxins contained in these " greens" or you could jam your hand down between the driver seat and your center console fish out two quarters, go into the regular old grocery grab a sweet potato or an avocado and get some plant based nutrition.
