  • Microgreens Entrepreneur Podcast

    Ironically, I started looking for a podcast on this subject at exactly the same time Brian started producing a podcast on this subject!

    I really enjoy this show, and I enjoy listening to it each week. As a new grower, I’d love to see more crop-focused episodes like the one he did for Broccoli. I have listed to that episode a dozen times as I have worked to perfect my grows.

    Keep up the good work!
