@Mike Hicks sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Praying for speedy recovery.
How to Store Microgreens for Maximum Shelf Life
Keeping your microgreens fresh starts with how you handle them right after harvest. 1. Harvest clean, dry microgreens. Do not rinse before storage. 2. Store in airtight containers only, never breathable containers. 3. Keep them cold in the fridge, ideally between 35°F and 38°F. 4. Label your containers so you know exactly when they were packed. Done right, you can get a solid 10to 14 days of freshness, which keeps customers coming back for more. What is your go-to storage container for your microgreens?

Before actually packing up into individual clamshells, we store in large food grade Rubbermaid bins.

@Mark Parker We have tried both ways and found that if we harvest into large bins and refrigerate a few hours, the greens have time to produce any condensation, so when we pack up the individual orders into clamshells, there is no condensation to deal with. I small extra step, but works best for us. We are careful not to harvest wet, but this extra step takes out the remaining moisture from condensation and increases shelf life based on our tests and feedback from our customers.
Sunflower Microgreens: Big Seeds, Big Flavor, Big Sales
If you want a crop that sells itself, sunflower microgreens are a great choice. They’re nutty, crunchy, and ready in about 10 days. Here’s how to grow them: 1. Soak seeds for 12 hours in cool water. 2. Sow them thickly in a shallow tray with drainage holes. 3. Cover for 3 days to germinate, then uncover and give them light. 4. Water from the top at first, then switch to bottom watering to keep them clean. Customers love them on sandwiches, in salads, or just as a snack. Their size makes them eye-catching at markets and easy to handle when packaging. Have you tried growing sunflowers yet? How did your first tray turn out?

We grow them regularly. They are growing a few days faster than the rest of our 10 day crops
Social Media Growth
Social Media - love it, hate it! Do you use the Facebook Weekly Challenges to grow your microgreens farm presence on FB? I have started using the challenges, and find that I usually fall short. Would love it if you would like our Facebook page and interact with a few posts to help us grow in this area and I would be happy to reciprocate!

Tray Identification
How do you identify your trays? The current system I use is to label them with a removable sticker with the crop and expected harvest date.

We tried using colored trays assigning different crops to a color, but I just did'nt work for us as we would end up with not enough of a color some weeks and they are so much more expensive - but color does make me so happy :-). We then designated each tray with a dyno tape - micro name, then a series of info that told us date of germination, when to put under lights and harvest date. Now that we have a fairly stable amount of trays and recurring orders, we just have a piece of tape with the abbreviated name of crop and we have gotten our schedule tight enough that we have only one germination day per week so we don't need anything else on the tray itself. Spreadsheets tell us what and when to harvest.
