Getting Out of Debt Growing and Selling Microgreens
I'm sure many of you here, either know what microgreens are, or have heard of them. What if I told you, that with minimal amount of time, effort, and expense, you could start a small microgreens business, and if you chose to, expand it as you sell microgreens. Sounds almost too good to be true, but it's not, it's very much achievable.
You can start with a few seed starter trays, a shelf, some cheap lighting, some microgreens seeds, and some dirt or coco coir, as the growing medium. You can have a harvest, within one week of planting (depending on what you're growing), and can sell a tray of microgreens for $20-$25. Farmers markets, or local newspapers are great for finding buyers, for the microgreens.
As you can see, it really is possible to make some good money selling microgreens, even people who havent had a green thumb in the past, have no trouble growing greens. Many people are aware of the benefits of microgreens, as they are super vitamin packed, 4-20 times more packed with nutrients, than their full grown counterpart. With microgreens become increasingly popular, in many places, they almost sell themselves.
There is so much information, about microgreens, and how to grow them, that if you have questions, or doubts, about your growing methods, you can turn to YouTube, or find the information you need, on the internet. So many people who grow these vitamin packed greens, are willing to offer advice, to novice growers, you'll find that there is a great microgreens community.
For now, if you are in a rut, you are struggling monetarily, or just want to make some extra money, growing microgreens may be an option for you. I myself, have found it incredibly fun to grow the greens, and build trust within the community, while selling quality green, to individuals, and businesses, all over the town I live in. Cant wait to see how many of you, will start this journey too.
