Professional Training –
Start your own Sustainable Urban Microgreen Farm
Dreaming of starting your own urban farm but don’t know how?
At InstaGreen, we have more than 8 years experience in research and running a successful urban indoor hydroponic microgreen farm. In those years we have invested a lot of time and money on research and development. We have tested a lot, made many mistakes and learned even more lessons. We’d love to teach you everything we learned. So you don’t need to make the same mistakes. Instead, you can hit the ground running!
The 3+1 day microgreen farm training
In 4 intense days we teach you everything you need to know about professional urban microgreen farming.
Developed so you can hit the ground running, without spending tens of thousands of euros on research and mistakes. After 3 days of life training, you will be a true urban farmer who is able to start growing microgreens right away and build a profitable business out of that. On day 4 we further support you 1 on 1 on your specific urban farming project. You decide when and on which topics or hurdles.
Talking about learning…
When we started, we worked with 3 people fulltime on agriculture and lots of R&D. While having only 14 clients.
Now, with our in house developed growing system, it only takes 1 person about 2 hours per day to cultivate microgreens for more than 100 clients.
Proud to work with enthusiasts around the world!
