Growing Microgreens for Profit (Profitable Plants)

Description

Big Profits from Small Plants Unlike most other specialty food crops, microgreens are easy to grow and can be ready to sell in about two weeks. They can be grown indoors or outdoors, so microgreens are a perfect crop for urban farmers who may not have access to a patch of dirt. Because microgreens are expensive, selling for $20 to $60 per pound, growers can produce a solid income in a very small space compared to traditional farming. For example, growing microgreens on a rack or shelving to grow vertically can produce several pounds per square foot per month. You can start a microgreens business with just a small amount of money - as little as a few hundred dollars for seeds and supplies.
