Have you ever thought about starting a new business that doesn't require a lot of time, space, and investment? In this book, I want to tell you about this new business idea that can allow you to make a thousand dollars or more a week! Microgreens are a new category of vegetables that are harvested shortly after the first set of true leaves form. Some chefs in California have been using them since the mid-1980s, but the demand for microgreens has only recently grown exponentially . That's because microgreens are healthy foods that contain many more nutrients than plants harvested at an advanced stage of maturity. For this reason, they are recommended by nutritionists and are popular among healthy lifestyle enthusiasts and environmentally conscious people . Growing microgreens is quick and easy , with most microgreen varieties reaching a harvestable size in about two weeks, allowing for up to two dozen harvests in a year. Only some basic equipment is needed, and you don't have to worry too much about the plants. You can grow microgreens in a spare room of your house or in a small garage . Once or twice a week, you can harvest and sell your microgreens. In this book you will find: Which microgreens are best to start with, which are the easiest to grow, and which are the most difficult Step-by-step instructions for soil and hydroponic growing methods . How to solve the most common problems with microgreens. How to build a grow rack with readily available components without breaking the bank . How to set up a proper vertical farm in a small 60 square foot space. How to identify your market niche . Where to sell your products. How to build your brand . How to choose the best packaging . How to set prices . How to create labels and barcodes . How to comply with hygiene and food safety regulations. If you have no intention of selling your produce, but are curious to learn more about microgreens, I definitely recommend reading the book because this is not just a business book . Like I said, microgreens are incredible foods that are great for your health and are not easy to find on the market . By reading this volume, you will learn how to grow them yourself at home . This way you will always have a very fresh product with unique properties available for your consumption. What are you waiting for to get started? Start reading the book now. The world of microgreens will soon have no more secrets for you! Review: Very good Information for beginners - I really liked this book. It did give steps for beginners to grow and enter the marketplace. I was a little unsure of the packaging of the greens, and the cutting of them from the trays. I guess I will learn by trial and error. Thanks again for a great book. Review: Very informative - Well worth reading if you are interested in micro farming as a Business. I feel that the business of micro greens growing could be both satisfying and profitable

Not Useful for Even the Slightly Experienced
This book was a decent weight & paper quality (& I like the cover illustration), but it's an independently published book (read: no editor) &, (even accounting for cultural differences in such), there were NUMEROUS spelling & grammatical errors. In my opinion, even self-published books should be free of such errors. If you even have ever had, grew. or re-potted a houseplant this book will be useless for you. The author does not have detailed specifics on harvesting ("harvest in 2-4 weeks when the greens are big enough but not to big"... oooohh kaaay.... could ya' be more specific??? & "greens varying in growing time based on their variety"... huh! who knew!?!) , speaks in broad generalities about sowing ("plant seeds enough apart that the plants aren't crowded"... no kidding!?!), light sources ("plants will need significant light but not too much".. ya' don't say!?!?), and watering ("plants will need water and humidity, but don't over water".... no way!?!?). If you even stayed awake in high school biology class you'd already know these things. There are some details in the book about constructing vertical growing units which might be of some use to readers, but sections on packaging, branding, & pricing your produce leave everything to the imagination & provide no real constructive detail on these topics. Generally speaking, the information int his book can likely be found FREE on the internet through YouTube videos, talking with your local gardener, or your own independent, general internet research. I've given this book 2 stars only because if there is someone out there who has never, ever had a houseplant or lived in the dessert where no greens grow, this book would be valuable. Otherwise, for more experienced folks, I recommend looking for another book source.

Very easy to read.
Microgreens Business I had been wanting to learn about new types of gardening for a while now, this is going to be great to get some greenery in my little apartment. Loved the book. But I did get the pdf they promised. I see microgreens in a different way.

Avoid this Book
This small book supports the idea that microgreens farming is simple. It provides no depth. The index of types to grow is shallow, providing only generic descriptions of the named crop. Many sites ("Itty Bitty Micro Farm" and "Johny's Seeds") provide more depth on free, one page resources well beyond anything covered in this so called guide.
