Market Gardener

Microgreen business

16 years ago

Thanks for info. regarding where to purchase microgreen seeds. I'm thinking of trying to start a small business out of this. If anyone would be willing to share their expertise with me, I would greatly appreciate it.

I was wondering if:

Only organic seeds have to be used?

how many trays= 1 lb.?

What are the most popular types of microgreens to grow?

How much is usually charged/lb.?

Thanks

Johnny's has a great .pdf file on salad mix. I've linked it below.

Seeds don't have to be organic but I would make it a point to avoid treated seeds. I don't cut my salad greens into trays so I can't be helpful there. New Farm has a market index that might be helpful in pricing your mix. http://www.newfarm.org/opx
