I'm starting something new for this group. I'll keep teaching live on YouTube, and right after each teaching session I'll open a live Q&A on Backstage where you can ask me anything about growing and selling microgreens. Backstage is also where I'll share content that won't be posted anywhere else. Follow me here so you get notified when I go live: https://backstagepass.com/mikehicks/s/live-with-mike-hicks Drop a comment once you've followed so I know you're in.
Quick Saturday tip. If trays aren't labeled with crop and sow date, you will lose track the week you get busy. Sharpie on tape works. So does a printed card. Takes 10 seconds. Saves a whole harvest from guesswork. Drop a photo of your labeling system if you have one. What's your tray label method?
Most growers stall waiting for the "perfect" first customer. Skip perfect. Pick one outreach today: • One chef / restaurant you already know • One farmers market booth check • One friend who cooks a lot and might place a tray order Say who you're reaching out to (or where you're stuck on pricing / pitch) in the comments. I'll help you tighten it. If you want the full first-customer playbook later: https://www.microgreensbusinesscoaching.com/
What's the one grow issue slowing you down this week? Germination, mold, watering, lights, density — whatever is costing you trays. Drop it in the comments Keep it specific: crop + day + what you're seeing. I'll dig in and help you tighten it.
Friday = Show & Tell. Doesn’t have to be big. A tray that finally came in clean. A restaurant that said yes. A tweak that cut mold. A harvest that sold out. Drop one win below — photo optional, story welcome. What’s one thing that worked for you this week?
Thank you so much for asking @Mike Hicks I still haven’t started producing or investing yet. I have a suitable place for it, but it’s very far away, and work still keeps me very busy… work. I hope I can find the time soon to get started and turn the idea into reality.
