@@ThePursuitofHappiness Next to nothing after start-up costs, depend on the containers that you use. I've been thinking of microgreens buy may do full tomatoes, berries and such instead. It's really just your time that you put in and what you charge is based on what the market is charging in comparison to what you can afford to sell your products for. You can start small and scale it up (recommended). It's of course based on demand as well. Best way to find out is to call around (restaurants are a good starting point) and see what's available to make deals on. There's so many ways to exchange goods for money, it's unreal. Hard part is the footwork and finding what other people are charging to give you an idea of what to break into. Remembered to pay yourself as well.

So, if you work incredibly hard to innovate and develop your own idea, and take great risk financially to do so, you would have no problem with someone else taking that idea from you and profiting at your expense? And, by your logic, if you do have a problem with that, you are being "selfish" and "viewing them as competition".... may I suggest a remedial course in basic logic?

If you truly ran an “entertainment” company as your tagline suggests you’d understand the importance of networking and relationships. Being selfish and cutthroat can sometimes be your worst attributes as a business owner/entrepreneur. Helping other people out doesn’t necessarily mean you’re giving them the keys to your business or livelihood. In fact, it can open many doors to other business opportunities or future collaborations.

A ‘tea bag’ of Coriander seed may help as a super potent antimicrobial when soaking any seeds, if concerned about sanitizing. I got that trick from brewing, fermenting, pickles, etc., now use with my home sprouting, bean cooking.

Before the pandemic started I was saying we needed some world wide crisis... to wake people up. Easy times builds weak people and we are a world full if market reliant people. People that can't contribute to thier own sustainability, seperate from the commercial life we all have to live. I settles on a pandemic in my head... with in a couple months we were finally told what was going on....honestly the timing of my thoughts frighten me... but I took my own reason for thinking we needed this pandemic. I used my unemployment to buy a 5th wheel, I used my ssi when I was approved to buy livestock... goats sheep, turkey, chicken... currently. Going to work on rabbit, and quail as food sources as well. I Do raise amazing healthy animals...but plants I kill lol.... I'm working on the growing plants, I think I'm gonna start with micro greens... my animals would enjoy them, and I'd eat them too.... thankyou for this video

Most of the people near me are farmers, so if they want it, they grow it. Theyd only be paying for convenience

Great video, have reviewed parts of it several times. I see this as an additional way of farming especially living in the cold NW.

Curious about the direct harvest to clamshell method and if that produces condensation in the container. I cut to bins so field heat comes off first, and have found that cooling them without lids works best, because of condensation otherwise. Great video. Thanks

When I harvest I immediately put my product in clamshells and into cold storage. It does condensate but it only rests on the plastic for an hour or so, I have microgreens in my fridge at home right now that I harvested 27 days ago and they just stopped being crunchy. I do wonder if chilling them before putting them in clamshells first might produce a longer lasting product.
