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.
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 🌱💚
Goals!! Beautiful grow space Donny! Thank you for taking the time to share your wealth of information!
Thanks so much! The more microgreens being grown, the healthier our species and planet will be, so i'm happy to share!
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.
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 !
Thank you for this video Donny! It Is very inspiring and helpful!! And the times soaking system is ingenious - excited - super interesting innovations
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?
I really appreciate your genuine energy. I'm getting started this summer, thank you. 🙏
Dude you are CRUSHING it! Good for you man, I'm looking to start a business myself sometime in 2022. Keep up the content, it's fantastic!
Thanks so much!! You totally should!! Thanks for your comment 🌱💚
guy is annihilating
@donnygreens thanks for the tour. Love watching your videos, very informative and easy to understand.
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!
Thanks so much fro your comment, its my pleasure!! I will surely post videos about the automated watering system once I build it in my new farm!
Love your farm, Im new to microgreens enjoy hearing about how to and tips, thanks again for great content Donny!
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.
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
@@DonnyGreens I thought that tomato foliage was toxic.
Love your farm! Getting tips and tricks left and right.
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?!
Can’t wait to learn more!
Have been waiting for this! 😊
Haha well you're welcome! I hope you enjoyed it!
cool, thank you . This video was truly COMPLETE!!!
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?
Microgreens go !
Thank you for the tour.
Thanks, that was great visual of everything. All the setup.
Great set up! Thanks for sharing :)
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!
Thanks so much! I'm pumped for you - it's definitely a fun time 🌱I look forward to helping you along the way 🚀
I ‘m. Curious how you are drying your micro greens. Thx
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.
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
What is a black urban farmer?
@@mightyconker3903 an urban famer who happens to be black maybe? The guy in the video doesn't appear to be black though
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.
🌱💚
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
Thanks for watching! Its a great spot for sure. Check out my spotify playlist for some of my music!
fantastic set up...great concise information..thank you
super clean, streamlined, sensible!
Thanks so much for making this video- super helpful. I see that you're using the Pro Mix MP organic soil. Do you add any nutrients or anything to this soil or just use it as is?
This is amazing and very encouraging Donny. Just started and looking forward to having one like this.
You will have one in no time once you start making weekly sales! Best of luck to you 🌱Where are you growing?
@@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
Wow, I've never heard of Zambia! Thanks for sharing the knowledge of microgreens, you are contributing to making this world a better place 🌱💚
This is an awesome tour Donny! It's helpful to see the inner workings of your operation and what a successful micro-farm looks like. I'm curious about the water filtration system you use. Can you please add that to your show notes? Thanks for all your amazing content. I just signed up for Nate's course and am eager to dive in. Thank you for sharing your experience with it. That made it a super simple decision for me!
I second that - can you provide details or a link to your water filtration system?
Thanks a lot for commenting!! I use the pHountain home water filtration system!
Great space and set up!!
Thanks for this! Much love! 🌱💚
more videos like this thank you for the transparency!
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
Thanks for share man !
Great stuff man :) Really impressed with the DIY soaking gadget :)
Haha thanks so much! I was so pumped when I discovered it. I'll be sure to make a video on this soon. Are you soaking seeds manually?
@@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.
That is an amazing setup!
Thanks so much! Do you grow too?!
fantastic Donny.
Thank you!
Hi Donny, thank you, thank you so much. I love your farm ops, biz model and your ever timely content. So much that it has motivated me to start acquiring a startup kit. I have a question; could you please explain the logic for your weekly visual indicator whiteboards for germination and harvest. In place of your response here, a video will likely suffice for all those who would love to know like I do. Your consideration ☺️ will be appreciated. In the meantime, keep your lively and real approach coming, you're a gem.
Thanks so much william, Ill try to get on that
Wow ! Super ❤
Pretty awesome!
Thanks Dunny.
Beautiful Farm!!!!
Thanks so much Monica, hope you are well! How are your plants growing?
Borage leaves make great tea when you dry them too
Thanks so much for sharing
No problem!
I am trying to grow Lettuce and Basil in New York apt. Thank you for making this video!!!
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?
Really appreciate this! Thank you. 🌱
You're very welcome 🌱💚Are you growing microgreens yet?
@@DonnyGreens Yes sir. In a garage.
Very nice, for personal use or to sell as a business?
@@DonnyGreens As a business. You have actually given me consults. Jaja. Super helpful! And these videos have also helped a ton.
Very nice set up!
One day I wanna be just like you. Keep up the good work 👏
I love 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?
Very nice 👍 I love your farm.
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?
No, you can't really reuse the soil again. A root mat forms. I recommend growing some microgreens so you can get a feel for how it works!
Great job love the way u explain
Thank you!!! I try to be as helpful as possible, as efficiently as possible!
Awesome walkthrough Donny! What size containers do you use? Looking at purchasing 32oz for salad mixes, and 16oz for individual varieties? Thanks for the content dude, love the channel!
Thanks a lot! You can see the exact containers I use my going into the description and clicking the links. Where are you growing?!
The automatic seed soaker is so cool!! I wanna see the video!
Just to mention - I've eaten Arugula/ Basil/ Alfalfa sprouts grown by a friend of mine in Argentina - really good - and yes - healthy.
Borage is awesome. I love it for tea.
Yeah i gotta start growing it again!
Hey Donny, thanks for the great video. Really cool to see how your space is arranged. I have a much smaller operation myself and I also have a couple of customers that want broccoli sprouts. I've been using jars but this is not effective for scaling up. I know that you do some sprouts yourself but what kind of equipment do you use for that?
You shouldn't be growing sprouts for your customers because it is a liability. Unless you have the proper infrastructure and licenses, I highly recommend staying away from the sprouts. The broccoli microgreens are just as good. Grow those for them and educate them on why they are just as nutrient-dense, using the additional chlorophyll factor to excite them and make them OK with the switch. Let them know that they can grow sprouts themselves at home! Does this make sense?
What you say makes sense and I have my concerns as well about sprouts but my understanding is that the guidelines for microgreens are the same as sprouts. Do you need a different license for sprouts?
In that case are you outsourcing the sprouts you have in the sunny mix that you sell?
Thanks again for the answer it's really important to get advice from more experienced people.
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/
Great tour. Thanks. Grace
No problem! Thanks for your comment 🌱💚
Very encouraging ..
Thanks so much! Have you started growing yet?
Cool stuff
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?
Thanks for all from France!
No problem from America!! 🌱💚
Nate's course is really great, very complete. If I recall correctly, you're over in Huntington. Nice setup.
Thank you for the comment! yes, I am in Huntington! Thank you so much for your kind words, I hope my videos are helping. Are you a grower?
I took his course. It is very good.
definitely a fait bit more involved and bigger than expected but that's super cool. I could probably get away with a smaller space while building up business, say $1,500 per week. I'm really hoping to do as much as I can at home solo or with minimal help. Maybe I'm just averse to having employees since I'm new to all of this, but it was super cool to see your setup! :D
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.
Much love!! 🌱💚
Hi Donny - my husband is converting a sea container into a temp controlled grow house. We have subscribed to your channel and love watching your videos. He wants to hand out information to potential clients who might not know anything about the benefits of micro greens in our rural area. Do you have a web page or a recommendation for the uses and benefits of a few specific plants or advice on what one would tell a potential new client who might not know why they need micro greens ?
Awesome setup bro, congrats on your business running strong. What kind of water filter are you using for irrigation?
Thanks so much for answering our questions! It's SO helpful! I have another one, do you have insurance for your urban farm?
Yes, you can look up FLIP insurance
Great job man ;) I want to know if it necessary to have a sterilazed soil and biological seed!! Or it's not very important, thkx
You're definitely going to want a sterile soil so you don't have to battle with fungus or pathogens that may be living on the soil. Are you growing yet?
@@DonnyGreens Can you reuse the soil, perhaps rotating between seeds/crops?
Wow !
What do you do Donny if you go to deliver to a customer and they did not put out their cooler for you? Thanks for all your hard work and for sharing.
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 :)
very nice
Thank you for your video. What is the air temperature in the growing room and in the germination room?
No problem, I hope you enjoyed it! I keep the temp around 73 F in both. Ideally a little lower in the germ room. Does this help?
Awesome
Thanks!
Can you recommend the type of grow lights you use and where to purchase them? Thank you for all your help on You tube!
Awesome video, thank you. I just couldn't catch the link for the course you took.....
You can find links to all the seeds, supplies and equipment I use in the descriptions of my TH-cam videos!
Great
One with your environment. This is a common trait for green people👽
Love your set up! We are just getting started with our 1st batch! We plan to eat them ourselves and share with family but hopefully soon we'll start selling! One question Donny I have, do you have annual inspections by the state? How does that go? Have a great week!
No annual inspections. You can check with your local dept of ag
Hey Donny, what trays are those? I am using standard 1020 trays but I would love the low profile trays! Awesome tour of the farm. Love what you are doing.
Thanks so much! These are the only trays to buy!!! There is a link in the description of this video (Shallow black trays). You can click on there and it'll bring you right to their website 🌱💚Those standard 1020 trays stink don't they!?
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!?
@@DonnyGreens it will be in Mumbai
Nice farm
Just discovered this channel, thanks for the educational information, much appreciated. Wow, that's a nice setup. I really appreciated the efficiency improvements you've made for the operation. One question - can you recommend a source for the stainless equipment in the main grow room, specifically the tables, triple basin sink and the hand sink? Thanks
Hey Dave, thanks a lot! I use the regency brand and buy them from webstaurantstore.com 🌱💚
@@DonnyGreens Excellent, thanks!
Thanks great video, do you have higher Tº and H% in the germination room?
Thanks! A bit higher humidity in the germ room but I actually prefer the temperature to be slightly lower in the germ room 🌱👍🏼
So beautiful and successful farm bro . Do you use grow light or just a regular light works?
really want to do this. hope to start this year
do it!!
I’m loving your channel. Very informative. Can you make a video, or directly tell me, about what your income stream was looking like pre and post-covid? I’m wanting to get into the industry and I’m making calls to see what the market is looking like and it’s looking pretty meh with the virus. Thanks!
Precovid was around $12k per month revenue. I was doing $17k in the peak of covid. This business THRVES during these times. Go watch the recent video I did with Curtis Stone
@@DonnyGreens nice! Thanks man will do!
Love your videos. Just started growing last week and here in finland there are almost 0 mickrogreen growers
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?
@@DonnyGreens sunflower radish and peas.
1 flat of each just to learn and have plans to start bigger after i know what im doing. just bought a small farm so i have plenty of room.
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!! 🌱 🚀
@@DonnyGreens Where in italy did u get your sunflower seeds from? Or is that a secret?
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!
Great questions!,
Nice setup.
Thanks Rich!!
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.
i win!
Very.good.system...Compliment..👌👌
Thank you!
Good morning Donny! Awesome work! What is your best advice on how to find buyers or the demand for microgreens in our areas? Thank you!
Restaurants, health food stores, grocery stores, direct to consumer, distributors, etc
Can this be done in a greenhouse vs indoors? Just found your vids and still watching and learning. Thank you
No problem Christa! Yes, you can definitely do this in a greenhouse!
Great insight to the setup. I have a question. Why are you using weights on the germination trays?
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
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
A generator is just another method of energy production
awesome
Thank you!
