I recently moved to my friends house, a guy came to fix her ceiling and we ended up talking about growing cannabis. He says micro greens are way better than bud because of the short turn around time and types of clients youll meet and that it sells out so quickly. I started doing some research on micro, I see the BS on youtube (make 1000 a week with microgreens) how much of this is fact and how much of it is bs. I have put a hold on cultivating, Im looking for more crop to grow.

I’d say it’s mostly dependant on your local market.
If you’re in or around a big city where people got a few extra bucks and are into healthy stuff, I’d imagine you’re probably in good shape.
Middle of cheeseville Wisconsin, you’ll probably have a harder time.

Currently in Atl. My biggest concern is getting customers with, which is completely different than selling bud.
youll be selling it to chefs- thats the same customer.id imagine its alot of work to schedule things to supply your customers while trying to grow new business and probably alot goes to waste.

Do you have a location with foot/car traffic?
Any other competitors you’ve found?
Much like weed it’s gonna be all about that distribution network. Provided you’re growing decent stuff, it’s gonna be about getting it into people’s hands.
Maybe get an electric delivery van? Do a tray delivery program with wheatgrass and other micros.
Whats the legality? Lol you need to give the state a two week heads up to harvest so you just tell em “okay seeds are in im harvesting in two weeks”

you were right on the wisconsin market- wisconsin whole foods - Google Search
Lol yall dont know much about wisconsin.
The places where people are into this sort of thing, are so into it that whole foods cant really compete with local farms
We are farm, to table

true, but its not like chicago where you sell it to alinea or some other fancy restaraunt for exorbinant prices because you take care of the plant like they do food.

I was mostly making reference to the cheese vaults.

Really you want to hit the farmers markets. I would contact all the local restaurants and tell them they can find you at the farmers market

im saying that if you sell some stuff like greens thats probably how restaraunts operate. it makes no sense, after the first 60 days its the same as just being on time to pay, alot of people are dumb on that. Id pick up steady shipments of next day air packages. Thy coulda waited 3 days on the first shipment and then shipped ground and skipped hundreds of days shipping next day air every day shipping the same thing to the same factory. Id fill a truck in my first hour and drive back and get another truck, each truck was making ups like 100k in next day air.
I think this will be a good year for veggies also. I’m probably gonna do the Lincoln park farmers market this year.

anyone doing this? what numbers are you getting?
Seems like customers for microgreens would share some overlap with gourmet mushrooms. I’d figure out how to incorporate them into your enterprise. If nothing sells, you’ll be eating great.
