It's awesome! Thanks so much for sharing everything you do and being so transparent. You mentioned you get your sunflower seeds from Italy, What supplier do you use? I'm based in Europe and i'm having a harder time sourcing seeds as simply as everyone in the states seems to be able to with trueleafmarket. Thanks in advance :)
Thanks so much! I will definitely get that together soon, it was super easy to set up and very valuable. It'll be fun to show you how it works! Where is your farm?
That's pretty awesome. I just started watching your videos a few days ago and already learning so much. Thank you for making videos and being a great teacher. I want to be like you in the future, hopefully soon!!!!😊
Thanks for answering all these questions! I was going to ask about your lighting schedule but saw someone else already did. I'm currently about half way through watching all your videos and am loving it! Much appreciation! 🙌 I'm excited to see if I can earn some supplemental income for my family while helping family, friends, and local community eat healthier!
What an incredible set up you have...wow! Blessings on your success & please share more or tag links of specific steps you took to scale from your basement on up...for those of us just starting our 1st trays💚.
Thanks so much! Just keep watching my content and I'm sure you will learn everything I know :) I'll be sharing the best content I can create so everyone can improve their businesses and sell more greens! Whats your biggest struggle right now?
Love what your doing man keep up the good work. Currently trying to gety micro greens going so I have heard your voice and watched your videos to many times. Thank you for all the help!!
Thanks so much for this comment Dylan, these really brighten up my days and keep me going with more content for you. Much love, I will definitely keep the videos coming 🌱💚
New Sub Man and a Black Urban Farmer as well. I really appreciate how you detailed everything and have an established order for different levels of the layout & Grow. Especially the handle for the Door of the fridge. Proper Bredda. Peace & Blessings
Great Video I loved it. Very surprising it doesn't need much space to run a successful business!!. May Almighty give you the strength to make this even bigger in scale and serve the community.
Thank you!!! I really appreciate this feedback my friend, It brings me great joy to know that my tips, tricks, and content are helping other growers! Where are you located?!
Slick set up ❤️ lots of room for scaling up too . I encourage you to experiment more with salad greens and cherry toms , they work well inside with LEDs , exceptionally with a hydro set up . You can get seed to harvest in 4-6 weeks depending on what green you're using , also cut and come again , if you're adding it to a salad mix . Thanks for sharing what you got growing on 👍
Thanks so much for your kind words 🌱💚 Not sure ill be growing sherry tomatoes indoors but i do intend on growing some outdoors along with some leafy greens. Probably only for personal use though
I'm sure glad I found your channel. I have been interested in spouts or micro green for yrs. But with LEDs and my green room where I have grow tent and more. I'm growing tomatoes,peppers,and a line of cooking or salad herds. And now I revamped my room where I can start a small micro green. I found trays on wish site and I have full spec leds. Umm I hope I didn't order wrong ones for micro. They are purple. But anyways ty for your videos. I'm starting out with just 2 trays. Will have to hunt down seed . I'm 53 so starting a new venture into indoor veggies thru our winter months. Mainly just for me and work thru the mistakes. And share with couple friends. You have inspired me do more. And I think you have done great job building your business. And great building. Get that water system in lol. I ordered a 18 station water kit for some of my full growth plants. Hope to get my fish tank going soon and use that water at times. But this micro has be wanting bad for salads and cooking.
At what stage of the business (profits and returns) did you start using timers and automation? Is it critical to the ops or just convenient for the scale you are at? Also please do a video on basic equipment required for a commercial setup.
A timer is like $12. Buy a timer right away so you don't have to manually turn your lights on and off. I had a timer on my first rack. Glad you asked the question about equipment! Stay tuned for tomorrow's video which is on that topic!
Always trying to be as transparent as possible brotha, thanks for noticing! Check out this new video to learn why I was absent for a year: th-cam.com/video/FKYaEMKOQjs/w-d-xo.html
Haha thanks so much!!! Im glad to help and really appreciate your feedback! I'll be sure to make a video on the seed soaking contraption in the future so more people can utilize the technology. How are you holding up during quarantine?
Hello Donny, thank you for the amazing video and congratulations for your company. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). Now I'm studying to start my own business and I'm following you. Thank you!
Congratulations for your very super farm. Please, share your Italian sunflower seeds provider. I live in France and i think it can be the best for my farm.
Thanks so much! Wow so cool, I think you might be the first Finland farmer I know! The beginning is so much fun, you're going to learn a ton of information by practicing. Zero competition, thats great! What varieties are you growing first?
Very nice choices. Sunflowers may be a little tricky but you should be fine - especially if you soak for only 4 hours. Thats awesome that you already have a farm space - good for you!! 🌱 🚀
Thank you for showing and explaining the ins and outs of your beautiful business. Because you mention growing organic garlic on your farm...I would love to find out if you deliver as well?? I can't find it ANYWHERE!
Haha thanks so much! Well the outdoor farming is my landlords thing. I just do my indoor farming. I deliver microgreens all over long island. Are you local?
Can't wait to see your flood and drain system! Please make videos for this build! Yours already look s quite different from others I've seen. I'm very interested. Your flood trays look huge! I haven't invested in my rack system (business a$$ets/infrastructure) yet and would really like to start out with the most efficient and automated system possible so I can optimize my use of time for other stacked regenerative enterprises. Super stoked! Thanks for everything Donny!
Hello Donny... Got a cute place.. really loved your setup and video. This has prompted me to go for it as I have been playing with growing micogeen idea for long. Can u just help me with the transit packing. Like once u stuff in boxes how do u deliver. Does it need to be in ice for transit ?
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you are diving in! I keep everything in the fridge overnight to get the product nice and cold. I then deliver the next day with coolers. No need for ice, everything is cold in the first place and packed into the cooler which keeps them cold for the few hours i'm on the road. Where is your farm going to be located!?
Thank - you for the tour it looks like a great place to work! I love your part about the music the plants need I seen on one of your other videos I did not see you mention that? Lol I can not wait to learn more
Hey Donny great stuff and content. I wanted to know what you think about generators as another source of energy if it is a better way to save money with electricity bills. I am working on starting my business and was looking for ways to save money while working in my garage. Thank you for all the advise
Hi donny am very very interested into what you do. Is it possible to create a system where the micro greens will be able to grow with a system where you have recyclable enegery and maybe the gases from the plants get measured ect and extracted? I am pretty sure what if you managed to create something that uses the gas of the plants itself to extract from the air and use as a fuel to recycle back into the system of growing the plant? Maybe a solar panel and a water purification system within a seal environment box where the micro greens grow? As we all know there is alot of heat that gets produced from the actual plants themselves. And you get loads and loads of humidity from growing micro greens. Am guessing alot of gas will amit from the plants themselves. Am thinking of some kind of box. Like a vacuum sealed box where the micro greens can grow? You'll be able to create a system where the humidity from the plant can be recycled and within the process the water will be purified.
Thanks a lot Jeff! I use one light per shelf because that's all I need! The lights linked in the description of this video are the same exact ones I use. I mount them with zip ties. Does this help?
Do u have a video of getting started? ie none of this lights and tons of racks/trays/fans etc but just the absolute minimum at minimum cost and the top 2,3,4 most popular or easiest to grow seeds you advise to start with? A real simple how to guide for beginners basically, totally not business in mind. Is there a cheaper, equally as good medium than soil? Do we NEED a grow light? I have a conservatory let gets good sun light but it does get cold, currently freezing temperatures, then summer it gets to like 40c.
Integrated shelving? You can find links to all the supplies and equipment I use in the descriptions of my TH-cam videos! I'm waiting to move my farm again until i set up the flood and drain tables
My 2 lol cents: you're supporting local economy & giving your customers the freshest food possible. Definitely grow them at home for yourself to enjoy too.💚
@@DonnyGreens yes. But i only soak sunnies, i dont soak peas ( not necessary) i just add a thin layer of soil on top of seeds, then staright to germination. Maybe soaking peas in ur case will save u sometime if u're on a schedule.
Thanks for the reply. I really like that you take the time to connect. The favorite greens I like are the Spring Mix Blends. However, they 're adding too much spinach. There can be health issues from too much spinach. Iron is one. But certainly Spring Mix is my most familiar and favorite. I think addibg those micro greens instead of spinach would be a nice blend with Spring salad. Question: Can you use the soil in the l trays over again once or twice before disgarding to a compostwith worms?
oh my I'm very interested, I currently do all our gardens flowers from seeds every year and have for about 10 years now and it's become my passion. The micro green addition I think would be equally fun to add and possibly turn into a business. Really great video and you've now got my brain working overtime :) Keep up the great work Donny !
Olá Donny, gosto muito dos seus videos! A organização do ambiente é muito importante! Me inspira! Sou brasileira e me interesso muito aprender sobre Microgreens.
Great video really appreciate it! Was wondering if that was 1 or 2 lights that you use for each rack and also what type of lights and bulbs do you use? Thanks Donny!
Thanks! You can find links to all the seeds, supplies and equipment I use in the descriptions of my TH-cam videos and Ive always used one light per shelf
@@DonnyGreens thanks! I tried getting the same light fixtures but they are sold out :( been trying to find a fixture that holds a single light but it seems they are all made to hold 2!
Donny Greens Have you calculated how much sales per sq. Ft. Two ways to do it. Actual growing space and total space. Love to get an idea. Thanks. Getting ready to watch your new latest vid.
One of the clearest videos I've seen on the topic and no wastage of viewer's time. And this goes for all the videos in this series you've made. Thank you! On a side note, I think I was hearing 'wheelbarrel' instead of 'wheelbarrow'... probably just the audio...also not important.
Wow, thanks so much fr your kind words! I'm so glad you are liking my videos 🌱💚 And yes, actually you were hearing correct lmao I'm a total dumbass sometimes. My mom called me out on this too hahaha. I honestly thought it was called a wheelbarrel thinking that the first ones were probably made from those big whiskey barrels cut in half or something. Anyways.... Hope I gave you a good laugh 😂
@@DonnyGreens Actually I've heard it both ways (reminds me of Psyche every time I say this). I had to check online to figure out which version was correct and then simply passed on the knowledge :)
What would you estimate you're average yield to be every harvest or every 1 or 2 weeks.. Or whatever way you normally calculate it out as being. Many thanks
Thanks for your kind words. I actually have a post all about stacking trays and weighting them on instagram: instagram.com/p/CERoZktgIsH/?igshid=16mhvcckeez9z
Congrats you just won a subscriber. I have been wonder what up with all doors being blocked. I'm sure you aware of fire safety and those door block make it hard for firefighters to hose down fire.
Awesome, I wish you the best of luck with that. I think it's so important for people to grow at least a little bit of their own food at home. What type of lettuce are you growing? Whats your favorite?
@@DonnyGreens Thank you for the encouragement Donny. I m growing in Zambia and just introducing the population to microgreens. Thanking you again for your help rendered everyday
What do you think about my urban farm!?
I love it and am super grateful to have the opportunity to run my business here! 🌱💚
Very nice! Would love to see a video on your automatic watering setup for soaking seeds.
It's awesome! Thanks so much for sharing everything you do and being so transparent.
You mentioned you get your sunflower seeds from Italy, What supplier do you use?
I'm based in Europe and i'm having a harder time sourcing seeds as simply as everyone in the states seems to be able to with trueleafmarket.
Thanks in advance :)
Thanks so much! I will definitely get that together soon, it was super easy to set up and very valuable. It'll be fun to show you how it works! Where is your farm?
Very interesting. Thank you.
I highly appreciate this video Donny!! I'm a first time viewer of your channel and appreciate your transparency. You're a man helping the millions.
Transparency should be the new currency!
amazing!. a "farm" in a compact, controlled environment, where you don't get rained on, or have to be in the heat/cold. Brilliant. Thanks Donny.

Thanks so much! The more microgreens being grown, the healthier our species and planet will be, so i'm happy to share!
Hi donny am very very interested into what you do.
Is it possible to create a system where the micro greens will be able to grow with a system where you have recyclable enegery and maybe the gases from the plants get measured ect and extracted?
I am pretty sure what if you managed to create something that uses the gas of the plants itself to extract from the air and use as a fuel to recycle back into the system of growing the plant?
Maybe a solar panel and a water purification system within a seal environment box where the micro greens grow? As we all know there is alot of heat that gets produced from the actual plants themselves.
And you get loads and loads of humidity from growing micro greens. Am guessing alot of gas will amit from the plants themselves.
Am thinking of some kind of box.
Like a vacuum sealed box where the micro greens can grow?
You'll be able to create a system where the humidity from the plant can be recycled and within the process the water will be purified.
Wow that sounds really interesting! Definitely start trying it out and keep us all posted!
Really nice setup! It would be cool to have a business like that someday, and maybe a green house with some other staple vegetables to sell.
Quick question...what is your lighting setup? Congratulations on your success and thanks for all the useful info.
Thanks a lot Jeff! I use one light per shelf because that's all I need! The lights linked in the description of this video are the same exact ones I use. I mount them with zip ties. Does this help?

Great set up! Thanks for sharing :)
Donny, is the Farmers Market at 1028 Park Ave Huntington? Will see you tomorrow .
Thanks for stopping by!
@@DonnyGreens Thanks for taking the time and helping me. My younger son loves the microgreens, which is surprising, he hates everything.
What's advantage for me being resturant owner, if i am buying microgreens from farmer or grower? Vs if i decide to grow my own.
My 2 lol cents: you're supporting local economy & giving your customers the freshest food possible. Definitely grow them at home for yourself to enjoy too.💚
If you grow your own you will have better profit margins but potentially a lesser quality product. I like what Tanya said too
TIME is the advantage for sure
Thank you 💚. I would love to have a micro green farm 🌿
Get growing!!! Lets get you set up, this is a great option for you: onetrayaway.com/

What if we had a grid shut down do you own a generac or 2 hooked up or would it all flop?
Very well done. How many square ft and sales per square foot. Thought about a small rain harvesting system for outdoor or indoor plants?
Thanks a lot! Its about 2000 sq ft. I dont use rainwater, i use tap water that goes through a water filtration system 🌱💧
