Garrett Corwin started Piedmont Microgreens out of his garage in Durham, North Carolina, and after six years he's scaled the business to 350-400 trays a week. In addition to the farmers market, Piedmont sells to more than 50 restaurants, grocery stores and wholesalers, including FreshPoint and Sysco with just a two-person team. As the business expanded, Garrett realized the limitations of spreadsheets for crop planning, so he enlisted the help of his brother Spencer to help build a better way to keep track of their crops and customers.  Spencer left a software engineering role at Meta to help build Microgreen Manager, and now it's how they plan their crops and is available to other farmers. In this interview we discuss how Garrett hacked his house to provide a low-cost platform for the business, how to get in with wholesalers, and what equipment he would buy if he were starting over. We talk about the functions of Microgreen Manager that make it more robust than spreadsheets, how Piedmont Microgreens has kept its workforce the same size even as they scaled production, how they grow everything to order and lots more in this week's Growing for Market Podcast interview!

Vegetable farming is a food and health business that requires dogged persistence, curiosity, and a no-quit attitude. Bob Jones, Jr., is a second-generation vegetable farmer and the chief executive officer of The Chef's Garden in Huron, Ohio, who has been growing vegetables for over 40 years. Bob and The Chef's Garden team collaborate with culinary professionals, physicians, and oncologists to test the taste, flavor, aesthetics, nutrient density, and food as the foundation of health. More than 700 chefs tour the farm and exchange ideas in The Chef's Garden's Culinary Vegetable Institute. Additionally, they worked with Regenified to certify their farm as regenerative for the practices that nourish healthy soils, water, plants, people, and communities.We can all be 4 The Soil, for the future! Here is how with four principles:1) Keep the soil covered -- (Cover crops are our friends and allies; avoid leaving soil naked).2) Minimize soil disturbance -- (Gentle, take it easy).3) Maximize living roots -- (Keep roots growing)4) Energize with diversity -- (Thrive with diversity of plants, rotations, and livestock). If you are interested in art and framing the 4 The Soil posters for your office or home, the 16” by 20” posters are available for purchase and printing as single posters or a set of five posters.If you have questions about soil and water conservation practices, soil health principles, and starting your journey to restore the life in your soil, call or visit a USDA Service Center, a Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District office, or your local Virginia Cooperative Extension office.  4 the Soil: A Conversation is made possible with funding support from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and The Agua Fund.

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Tom Maus, CEO von Greeny Plus, und Jonas Hülskötter, Gründer von Urban Hive. Gemeinsam haben sie eine Technologie für den privaten Haushalt adaptiert, die bisher vor allem im großen Stil im Indoor-Farming genutzt wurde: die Aeroponik. Dabei wachsen Pflanzen ohne Erde; die Wurzeln hängen in der Luft und werden in Intervallen mit einer Nährstofflösung und Sauerstoff versorgt. Dieser "Ackerbau fürs Wohnzimmer" ermöglicht es, bis zu 95% Wasser gegenüber der herkömmlichen Landwirtschaft einzusparen und das Wachstum massiv zu beschleunigen. Besonders im Hinblick auf Healthy Longevity ist die maximale Frische entscheidend: Zwischen Ernte und Konsum vergehen oft nur wenige Sekunden, wodurch wertvolle Vitamine und sekundäre Pflanzenstoffe voll erhalten bleiben. Wir besprechen die Funktionsweise der 2-Meter-Pflanztürme, die Kosten, den Stromverbrauch und das enorme Potenzial von Microgreens für unsere Zellgesundheit.  In dieser Folge sprechen wir u.a. über folgende Themen:  Was genau ist Aeroponik und wie wachsen Pflanzen gesund ohne einen einzigen Krümel Erde? Warum spart dieses System bis zu 95% Wasser im Vergleich zur klassischen Landwirtschaft ein? Wie schafft es die Technik, dass Gemüse zu Hause deutlich schneller reift als im eigenen Garten? Kann ein zwei Meter hoher Pflanzturm wirklich eine komplette Familie gemüsebasiert ernähren? Wie imitieren spezielle Lichtschwerter das Sonnenlicht und was kostet das an Strom? Warum sind Indoor-Systeme quasi immun gegen Schädlinge, Schimmel und Pestizide? Wie hoch ist die Dichte an gesunden sekundären Pflanzenstoffen bei der Ernte direkt in der Küche? Was macht Microgreens zu echten Nährstoff-Bomben für unsere Zellverjüngung? Wie nachhaltig ist ein Pflanzturm aus dem 3D-Drucker, der aus Bio-Materialien besteht?    Weitere Informationen zu Tom Maus (Greeny Plus) findest du hier: https://greenyplus.com/pages/unser-team LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tom-maus-a2715313 Weitere Informationen zu Jonas Hülskötter (Urban Hive) findest du hier:  https://urbanhive.de/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jonashülskötter  Du interessierst dich für Gesunde Langlebigkeit (Longevity) und möchtest ein Leben lang gesund und fit bleiben, dann folge mir auch auf den sozialen Kanälen bei Instagram, TikTok, Facebook oder YouTube. https://www.instagram.com/nina.ruge.official https://www.tiktok.com/@nina.ruge.official https://www.facebook.com/NinaRugeOffiziell https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOe2d1hLARB60z2hg039l9g   Disclaimer: Ich bin keine Ärztin und meine Inhalte ersetzen keine medizinische Beratung.

Wer sich die Zeit bis zum Start der Gartensaison vertreiben möchte, kann Keimsprossen oder Microgreens auf der Fensterbank anbauen. Für die Keimsprossen benötigt man eine Tüte Bio-Samen (Brokkoli, Karotten, Hafer, Radieschen oder Kresse), die in ein Keimglas gefüllt werden (gereinigtes Marmeladenglas). In den Schraubdeckel kleine Löcher bohren. In das Glas die Samen füllen (etwa zwei, drei Zentimeter hoch). Dann wässern und die Samen über Nacht einweichen. Am nächsten Tag das Wasser herauslaufen lassen und die Samen mit frischem Wasser spülen. Wasser durch die Löcher im Deckel abtropfen lassen. Je nach Art zwei- bis dreimal am Tag wiederholen. Das Gefäß auf eine helle Fensterbank stellen bei einer Raumtemperatur von 18 bis 22 Grad. Schon nach kurzer Zeit bilden sich Wurzeln und Keimblätter. Nach acht Tagen können gesunde Keimsprossen verputzet werden. Bei den Microgreens (können dieselben Sorten sein) wird erst später geerntet - nach ungefähr zwei, drei Wochen. Und auch die Anbaumethode unterscheidet sich. Dazu Anzuchterde in einen Tontopf oder eine Anzuchtschale füllen. Darauf die Biosamen streuen. Lichtkeimer bleiben auf der Erde, Dunkelkeimer werden etwas in die Erde hineingedrückt und mit Erde bedeckt. Angießen und mit Frischhaltefolie bedecken. Das Gefäß kommt ebenfalls auf eine helle Fensterbank bei 18 bis 22 Grad. Die Samen brauchen die ganze Zeit über ein feuchtes Milieu. Nach spätestens drei Wochen können die Microgreens geerntet werden.Sprossen und gesunde Microgreens ziehen: So geht'shttps://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/garten/nutzpflanzen/Sprossen-und-Microgreens-ziehen-So-gehts,sprossen188.htmlGesunde Sprossen: Was steckt in Alfalfa, Kresse, Brokkoli?https://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/gesundheit/Gesunde-Sprossen-Was-steckt-in-Alfalfa-Kresse-Brokkoli,sprossen210.htmlRobuste Gemüsesorten: Welche Saat eignet sich?https://www.ndr.de/ratgeber/garten/nutzpflanzen/Robuste-Gemuesesorten-Welche-Saat-eignet-sich,gemuese574.htmlDie neuste Folge von "Im Grünen Bereich" gibt es immer zuerst in der ARD Audiothek:https://1.ard.de/imgruenenbereich2 Habt Ihr Anregungen?

In this episode, the Hort Culture crew dives into the joys and challenges of growing herbs indoors during the cold season. After swapping stories about Kentucky snow days, childhood folklore, and the chaos of cabin-fevered kids, the hosts transition smoothly into practical horticulture: how to bring fresh flavors and greenery into the home when outdoor gardens are asleep.The conversation covers the best herbs for indoor growing—from Mediterranean sun-lovers like basil, rosemary, thyme, lavender, and sage, to reliable cool-season performers like parsley and cilantro, and the ever-vigorous mint and lemon balm. The hosts emphasize realistic expectations: herbs grow slower indoors, flavors can be milder, and supplemental lighting is often essential. They explain how to choose the right pot sizes, avoid moisture‐retaining soils, fertilize lightly, and select the brightest window available (while watching out for drafts).Listeners get guidance on starting seeds indoors, preventing leggy seedlings with close grow lights, and even strengthening plants through airflow or the classic “pet your seedlings” method. Microgreens also make an appearance as a fast, rewarding winter crop.The episode wraps with encouragement: don't be too hard on yourself, try different methods, and remember you can always snag a starter plant or a cutting from a friend. Indoor herbs bring freshness, flavor, and a bit of mental sunshine to the darkest winter days.Growing herbs indoors adds flavor, saves moneyGrowing Herbs IndoorsIndoor HerbsCulinary HerbsQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!

Jessi Ricci  - New Life Greens On Being Present: "It's definitely life changing when you put your phone down for a meal." In the mad rush that is our world, we often take for granted some important things.  Some of those things are nutrition, flavor, time spent with friends enjoying a great meal.  Celebrating the gift of life that we have instead of just rushing through it. Jessi Ricci started New Life Greens, partly as a way to help people enjoy life.  In the food they eat and the people they share the experience with.  At only 19 years old, she is already a successful entrepreneur. In this inspiring conversation, Jessi Ricci opens up about how her dream of becoming an environmental science teacher at UW Madison took an unexpected detour when a part-time job at an aquaponic farm introduced her to the world of microgreens. From those first nervous meetings with chefs, armed with living trays of fresh greens, to building relationships with supportive mentors and her own family, Jessi Ricci reveals how authenticity, faith, and hustle fueled her success. Listen as Jessi details what she has learned and how she has made New Life Greens a success. Enjoy!

And I really do not feel like I'm pushy. I just really believe in my product, and I think it speaks for itself. Like, I don't need to talk to them. I can leave them these microgreens, and they speak for themselves. So I'll come in. Jessi Ricci [00:00:19]: And bring my price sheets and everything and a live tray of greens. Like an alive plant of greens, some cut product and. And talk to them. Just show it to them, have them eat it. And they're like, whoa, this is so flavorful.

Downloadable audio episodes can be found in the podcast link found at drawincustomers.com we are locally underwritten by the bank of Sun Prairie and today we are welcoming slash, preparing to learn from Jessi Ricci of New Life Greens. So, Jessi, how is it going today? Jessi Ricci [00:01:00]: I am doing great. How are you? James Kademan [00:01:02]: I am doing well. I'm in green. Jessi Ricci [00:01:04]: I know. I love that you're in green. I always wear green. James Kademan [00:01:07]: So you really. Jessi Ricci [00:01:08]: Yep. James Kademan [00:01:09]: That's cool. Is nature of the business. Right. Jessi Ricci [00:01:10]: But I love that you're in green, too. James Kademan [00:01:11]: Oh, thank you. Tell us the story. What is New Life Greens? Jessi Ricci [00:01:14]: Yeah. So New Life Greens is a microgreens farm based in Verona, Wisconsin, and we distribute just to the greater Madison area. And we focus on distribution to chefs, which is what kind of sets us apart. We grow specialty microgreens with chefs in mind. James Kademan [00:01:32]: All right, now I'm going to play dumb. Jessi Ricci [00:01:34]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:01:35]: Or maybe I am. Whatever. What is a microgreen? Jessi Ricci [00:01:38]: That's not dumb. I did not know what a microgreen before I started my business. So you. James Kademan [00:01:44]: Did you say when you started your business? Jessi Ricci [00:01:45]: No, before. I did not know before I started my business. James Kademan [00:01:49]: All right. Jessi Ricci [00:01:51]: Yeah. I still don't know. James Kademan [00:01:53]: These things just ship up and I sell them and. What? Jessi Ricci [00:01:56]: Yeah, yeah. The textbook definition of a microgreen is that it is a young seedling of an edible flower, vegetable or herb. So if you. Do you have a garden? James Kademan [00:02:08]: I'm going to say yes. But I mean, it's. Jessi Ricci [00:02:11]: Do you start your own plant starts or no, it's fine if you don't. James Kademan [00:02:15]: Tomatoes, you do Okay. I grow things that are very easy to grow. We're talking rhubarb, tomatoes, cucumbers, stuff that you could probably light the entire world on fire and they would still grow. Jessi Ricci [00:02:25]: Yes. James Kademan [00:02:26]: That's what my skill set is. Jessi Ricci [00:02:28]: It's funny that that's the vegetable that you said, because tomatoes are part of the nightshade family, so they actually are deadly in microgreen form. James Kademan [00:02:35]: Really? Jessi Ricci [00:02:36]: Yes, because they are. They like. Well, it's a whole thing. But basically, if you think of your garden and your plant starts, if you're starting like a pea pod or a cantaloupe or what's another one? Radishes, that little start, that's a couple inches, it's what is what is technically classified as a microgreen, just so it' easier to, like, envision. Usually they're like the size of a blade of grass. And since they are microgreen and they're harvested before they actually produce fruits and before they run out of nutrients in their seed and start using from the soil, they are extremely nutrient dense. So that's kind of the appeal from the consumer. But chefs really don't care about the nutrition. Jessi Ricci [00:03:15]: They just care that they are really beautiful. They're very colorful and flavorful. So they're a great way to garnish. So a lot of high end restaurants will garnish their dishes with them. But I do partner with some restaurants, like Settled Down Tavern, who puts it in a burger, or Youngblood who puts it on a hot dog. But typically they're used as more of like a fancy garnish. James Kademan [00:03:34]: All right. Jessi Ricci [00:03:35]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:03:35]: So how do you get into the microgreen business? Jessi Ricci [00:03:38]: Yeah, you know, I was trying to think of. I knew you probably would ask this, so I was trying to think of my answer for this, and it's really confusing. I mean, if you look back, because I started my business in high school. I'm 19 right now. So if you look back back in your high school, I'm sure, you know, it's totally a blur. And even though it was just a few years, for me, high school was totally a blur. I started my business kind of by accident in a way, actually. So all of high school, I always dreamed to go to UW Madison, be an environmental science teacher, or go to UW Madison. Jessi Ricci [00:04:15]: I said, go to UW Madison, be an environmental science teacher, be in the band. And so my whole high school was just. My whole high school career was filled with trying to accomplish that dream. So I was 4.0 student. I joined all the clubs. I was in band. I joined a sport just to make my application look better. And kind of like the final seal of that was me applying to be a youth apprentice my senior year to make my college application look better, which I did not go to college. Jessi Ricci [00:04:41]: I Don't know if you. I did. I would be in college right now. I would be in class right now. So I'm not there. Jessi Ricci [00:04:50]: Yeah. So everything I did was with that goal in mind. And the job in which I started my business out of was literally. I got the job because I wanted my application to look better. So I got a job at an aquaponic farm in Paoli, Wisconsin, which is definitely the up and booming little area near Madison, at Clean Fresh Food. And they provided an array of products to restaurants. When I started working for them, they only had one restaurant client, but it filled up, like, a third of their capacity. And so I started working there, and I was thinking, you know, this is kind of. Jessi Ricci [00:05:24]: They grow all year round, which is really environmentally friendly. So I was thinking, this will look so good on my application for UW Madison. I'm gonna be a part of this farm who has really great values. And I thought it would really set me apart. Little did I know. I mean, it set me apart so much that I'm not going there. Jessi Ricci [00:05:43]: Yeah. So this farm was the hub for my business. The owner of the farm, Mike Knight, helped me incubate my business. It all started out just with me. My dad always raised me to have, like, a strong work ethic, and so there wasn't that much work for me to do at the farm. There was one other. I had one other co worker and me, and it was just us two, and he worked in the mornings, and I worked, like, at the end of the school day, and so I never saw him. So I would show up to the greenhouse, unlock the door, and I was all alone, and I would just kind of find things to do, like organize or do whatever. Jessi Ricci [00:06:20]: But my dad, like, just knowing him, I could never sit down. I, like, when I was working, I was working, and I didn't have anyone watching over me, so. So I could have done whatever, but this, like, strong work ethic of mine ended up with me reaching out to the owner. And, I mean, I. I love this guy. He is like my business mentor. He's an amazing guy.
