In this episode I'm joined by Jonah Krochmalnek from Living Earth Farm in Ontario, Canada. Jonah has been growing microgreens professionally since 2013. He has went from starting out in his parents spare bedroom to creating and owning a large scale, automated indoor microgreens farm.
Jonah shares so much valuable knowledge in this episode. Here is some of what is discussed:
- How Jonah scaled from a spare bedroom to growing and selling 1500 trays of microgreens a week.
- The ideal lighting for microgreens to produce the best results while also being energy efficient.
- The best climatic conditions for growing microgreens and why everything needs to be in balance to have the best results on your microgreens farm.
- Why the soil you are using could contribute to your microgreens yields being inconsistent.
- The costs of the machinery used in large scale microgreens production.
- Why the system you have in place is so important for the consistency of your business.
