Microgreen Side Hustle

What does biz know about growing and selling Microgreens? Apparently you can make decent supplemental income by having a little operation at home. The start up cost is low and it doesn’t take that much time and work to grow and harvest your crop. You can sell directly to health conscious people or even sell to restaurants. It seems pretty based to me.

Shrimp farming is better imo

Green?
Green?
What's your problem green?

Tru shrimp from MN was gomma open yhr workds largest shrimp farm but ran into problems. They are trying to do it in SD but still having issues.

Similar to aquaponics, the concept is cool. Grilling shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper is the way to go. Though I did make some with olive oil amd Cajun seasoning that was damn good.

I know a little from YouTube. It may be hard to do without having the space and all the equipment. Difficult to get that stuff from Amazon now.

Better to just start with growing food for yourself.

You missed the boat on that. The only places you make money from microgreens are restaurants and farmers markets. You could also sell to grocery stores but these days nobody will dump money on expensive perishables.

This. Good luck finding a high end restaurant looking for mircrogreens right now. The hard part was never going the greens, it's cold selling. If you can't sell, you're fucked, but if you can, then you can do anything.

what margins we talking here?

i'd grow them just for myself. broc sprouts are full of myrosinase

What I don't get about indoor farming is why pay to set up and use artificial lights when you can use the Sun?

Thought about this today actually, but IDK which green 2 grow

I have a side hustle selling herb, veggie and fruit seedlings in spring and lately have been getting into selling sourdough

Because you get environmental control and dont have to worry about pest pressure

Sourdough yeast starter*

Why not use a greenhouse?

Be a vegan you fucking savage.

You can guarantee all variables. Some days its cloudy...too much rain...not enough rain etc.

Let me put it this way: how much demand do you think there will be for minimal- sustenance crops during a depression? You'd have to grow a square foot of microgreens to have salad for a day.
If you have the resources and space for a greenhouse, just raise chickens

One of the stupidest times to start a microgreen business is when the restaurants that are the biggest buyers are dying.

Can I make broccoli like that?
I eat a lot of of the mini florets.

Its a legit side hustle amd easy main hustle. My wife and i have been doing this in our hippie town for a few years. Youbare at the bottom of the pyramid. Get a website, start pounding pavement, knocking doors (dont get arrested for breaking quarentine) , hammer phones amd sell product. Microgreens , fuck ya.

Also, great ebay hustle if you can streamline harvisting and shipping.

I had a friend in HS who was a legit genius who got super into these. He wanted to get a large set up with plants on top, fish on bottom. You could partially feed the fish with the plants used and they helped oxygenate the water. Then the fish shit became fertilizer. His real goal was high nitrate fertilize to make dynamite though since at this stage he was getting crazy and recommending the unibomber manifesto

He dropped out if college despite a full ride and I never saw him again. Seems he actually did it and fucked off to live in the woods.

Why does he want to make dynamite?

Based and tedpilled.

When I read this post I began researching immediately because I've had a past interest that never came to fruitation because I am from a small area where there wouldn't be many buyers, the main problem with these is unless you have a restaurant who buys them constantly then it's a waste because produce goes bad and they are unable to be shipped long distances because they would go bad, would it be possible to sell certain dried or dehydrated microgreens on Amazon as such, there would be no worries about shelf life and they would be able to be shipped, but there would still be the health benefits plus seasoning value of the item, someone tell me me if I'm being retarded but that's my rant for tn.

Super green.

I wish, there's an industrial competitor in my area that opened within the last year.
What other kinds of low-land farming exist, like microgreens or shrimp farming? I feel like they should be slapping me in the face, but I don't know much about this "industry."

Holy based

Restaurants aren’t the only potential customer. You can also sell to small local grocery stores and put the Microgreens in your own branded packaging. Another option is you can have a website and people in your town can order the freshly harvested Microgreens and you can either deliver to them for free or they can pick them up from your property. Another potential customers base is friends and family. Oh, and consider your local farmers market too.

Just don't.
People who want them grow them themselves,
if you don't have a restaurant which will buy from you you are fucked.
