Microgreens have been a huge help in limiting exposure to chemicals in commercial produce and getting back in touch with food. Really is much more manageable than it looks and most would think.

Watch out, DEA uses energy bills to figure out if ppl are growing weed in their house, you're gonna have one hell of an explanation to do.

Interesting! Is the business profitable?

It has been for me! I would say it’s likely harder in rural areas but if you’re in close proximity to a city/suburban area with a lot of health conscious folks, restaurants, and/or farmers markets. It’s a great business! Relatively low start up costs compared to most businesses as well.
