About our journey into Urban Farming
Years back, our microgreen farm in Barcelona started to inspire others. What was initiated as a local farming research project in 2012, had blossomed into a full-scale successful business.
Besides farming ourselves, we then started to help and teach people from Europe to Africa, and from South to North America. Soon after, we also started to build our in-house developed cultivation systems for other farmers. Supplying our growing trays and cups, our substrate, organic seeds, and more ….
Now, we completely dedicate ourselves to personally help enthusiastic entrepreneurs all over the world to set up and run their own local thriving microgreen businesses. Some of these farms are now bigger than we ever were. Others grow crops we never grew. And we’re loving it!
We are here to also help you create the life you want and spreading the sustainable local farming movement!
These are the topics we cover during the training:
Day 1:
How to grow microgreens
Day 2:
