How to Start a Microgreens Business

Have you considered going into business for yourself but thought it would be impossible? I’m here to tell you about an awesome business idea that could allow you to make a thousand dollars or more per week. Most people have likely never considered a microgreens business or how it could transform their lives.

When I started out with my business, I was not an expert grower. I had my doubts and worried I would be a failure. Instead of giving up before I even started, I decided to give it my all and see what happened.

While growing microgreens might seem difficult, it is pretty simple. With a few inexpensive supplies and time, you can soon have a crop of profitable microgreens that can be sold to restaurants and individuals in your community. If you are tired of the 9 to 5 grind like I once was, keep reading and learn all you can about how to start a microgreens business so you can determine if this opportunity is the one you have been searching for.

What Are Microgreens?

What are microgreens and how can they make you money? Maybe you’ve been to a restaurant and saw your dish served with a garnish of tiny greens or saw them being used on top of a salad.

Microgreens are simply the tiny seedlings of vegetables. These tender and delicious plants have been incorporated in dishes since the 1980s, but they have recently made a huge splash in the culinary world.
These tiny plants pack a big punch in the flavor department, and are filled with beneficial vitamins and nutrients. Even if you don’t decide to start selling microgreens, your health could benefit from learning how to grow a small crop on a regular basis.

I want you to discover microgreens because they have the potential to help you start your own business, so you can quit your job and enjoy living your life to the fullest - creating a livelihood that you enjoy and that benefits your local community.

You Can Become a Microgreens Farmer

When I started growing microgreens for profit, I was afraid it would not be a success. I was not an expert gardener, but was actually just beginning my farming journey. You may think it takes a giant “green thumb” to be successful in growing microgreens, but I am proof it does not.

Microgreens farming is growing microgreens in a spare room in your home or at a commercial location. Once or twice per week, you have a crop that can be harvested and sold. You do not need an outdoor garden and you don’t even need a lot of space to run this business.

I started my microgreen business with just a few flats. Starting small is the best option for beginners because it allows you to become comfortable with the process without feeling overwhelmed.

It sounds cliché, but if I can do this, anyone can! If you are willing to give it a shot and put in the small amount of effort it takes to start your microgreens business, you have the potential to turn this into a great thing.

How to Start Selling Microgreens

Selling microgreens isn’t difficult. If you follow my tips, you will have a bountiful crop each week that you can sell to restaurant chefs, grocers, at farmers markets, and to individuals in your community.

When you start selling microgreens, you might be a little nervous. But believe me when I tell you this: there is an expansive market for these delicious and nutritious microgreens. I recommend you start growing and selling radish, brassica, or pea microgreens, but there are tons more you can eventually learn to grow.

Selling microgreens is not as time-consuming or as strenuous as it sounds. You’ll be surprised by how many people will buy microgreens from you, and as word spreads, your business will exponentially begin to grow.
I have gone through all of the trial and error and have discovered the best and easiest methods of growing microgreens for profit. I am here to help others learn my methods so they can be as successful with much less effort.

Is a Microgreens Business Right for You?

I talk with people from all walks of life every day about how to start a microgreens business. Most are skeptical at first until they begin to really listen to what I am saying. When I talk with people about becoming a microgreens farmer, I list the following criteria as a must for ensuring this type of business is right for them:

  • You must be willing to learn. (The growing process is pretty easy, but there are a few must do’s that many people miss)
  • You must have a little time to devote to the watering and care of your crop.
  • You must be willing to seek out selling opportunities in your community (I have many resources to help with this)
  • You must have a small amount of money to purchase your growing supplies and initial seeds.

That doesn’t seem too hard, does it? You were not asked to get a college degree, invest tons of money or spend months working on your microgreen business. That’s what drew me to this opportunity and made me want to give it my all. If you are willing to invest a little time, money and space, microgreens farming can work for you just like it has for many others.

How to Start a Microgreen Business

Has your interest been piqued enough to get started? Tons of people around the world are making thousands of dollars a week growing and selling microgreens for profit. I hear from people every day who have used my simple methods to start their own microgreens business.

In my ebook and webinars, I detail the supplies you will need and what you need to do to ensure you start out on the right foot. If you have the right supplies and are ready to get started, you can easily begin growing a profitable crop with only a few hours a week of your time. Yes, you read that correctly! I will take you through the process and show you exactly how to start and how to keep your business going.

This is not rocket science, and you do not need major training or a degree to get started. Most people are amazed when I tell them they can begin growing microgreens with a profit as high as $30 a pound.

Reading my FREE ebook will teach you all the steps you need to take to get started and be successful. Within 10-14 days, you can be ready to harvest your first crop so it can be sold for profit. With each successful crop, the opportunities to make sales will grow. It is up to you how big your business becomes.

Get Started on Growing Your Business from Home

Do you have 4 hours a week to spare? Do you have a small corner in your home for a growing station? Are you excited about making a profit by helping others eat nutritionally-dense microgreens? If you answered yes to these questions, it is time for you to learn more.

I believe so strongly in this amazing opportunity, I am willing to share my knowledge for free. You can get started by attending my online class, which offer extensive help. You can also download my free ebook that offers you step-by-step instruction.

Who Is Nate Dodson And What Is Microgreensfarmer.com?

My name is Nate Dodson and I founded Hugs Urban Farm in 2015.

I started my farm and began growing and selling microgreens (and other crops) as a way to supplement my income and hopefully transition out of a full-time job that I was starting to really dislike.

That job was as a ecological field restoration worker, spending my days spraying invasive plants with large amounts of herbicide. After 5 long years of busting my butt, climbing through briars with my clothes soaked in sweat and herbicide and tick bites covering my legs, I'd had enough!

I loved my co-workers, but could no longer stand the long hours away from my wife and daughter, and having to wake up at 5am every morning to a blaring alarm clock.

Your California Privacy Rights

If you live in the State of California, under the California Civil Code, you have the right to request that companies who conduct business in California provide you with a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed Personal Information during the preceding year for direct marketing purposes.

Alternatively, the law provides that if a company has a Privacy Policy that gives either an opt-out (often referred to as “unsubscribe”) or opt-in choice for use of your Personal Information by third parties (such as advertisers or affiliated companies) for marketing purposes, that the company may instead provide you with information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.

This Site qualifies for the alternative option; it has a comprehensive Privacy Policy and provides you with details on how you may either opt-out or opt-in to the use of your Personal Information by third parties for direct marketing purposes. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or disclose a list of the third parties that received your Personal Information for marketing purposes during the preceding year.

If you are a California resident and want to request information about how to exercise your third party disclosure choices, you must send a request to the following address with a preference on how our response to your request should be sent (email or postal mail). Please send an email to the Privacy Administrator at [email protected], or you may contact us via regular mail at:
