If you’re new to the Microgreens world, you may have noticed that most people are focused on selling Microgreens rather than only growing them for self consumption. To further clarify, as you’re scrolling through social media, you may have seen over the last couple years that there are many people that tend to sell you courses or books on the business aspects of growing these tasty, highly nutrient-dense Microgreens and tell you how you can turn them into profit. While said courses and books are admirable – and, most of all, convenient – very few teach you the needed methods of growing them nor how to use microgreens. However, for most of us, this is the first thing we want to do before developing a successful business model.

Growing Microgreens for self-consumption are becoming more and more popular across the globe, as they have been making headlines on many popular news outlets, big-name articles, and health-conscious influencers. For instance, the widely-followed Instagram page Medical Medium has deemed Microgreens as revitalizing foods in their post, offering tons of information on their properties and benefits. However, we may all agree that starting a microgreen business and actually growing these green beauties are two completely different things. Normally, you’ll want to learn how to professionally grow the products you’ll be selling in order to maximize your profits.

For that reason, “Becoming a Microgreen Master” by On The Grow teaches you the very basics of these greens – how they can be beneficial for your own health and, furthermore, your business. The founders of the company and expert plant growers, CJ Vaughn and Mandi Warbington (soon to be Mrs.Vaughn), have compiled all of their knowledge about growing Microgreens during their 10,000+ hours & 1000s of experiments conducted via YouTube and behind the scenes from 2018 to 2021. The book mainly focuses on teaching the in’s and out’s of ‘How to grow Microgreens’, but it also includes a lot of insightful information about starting a successful greens business, where you’ll be selling a product that noticeably stands out from the rest. Additionally, you’ll find that the On The Grow YouTube channel fans have been honored in the best way! Mainly, BAMM is written in a tone of voice that’s on point with how we talk in our videos - this is a self-published book, after all! We did our best to add our voices and humor while keeping things highly educational and entertaining.

 

So, what was the main goal of our book? Simply, we wanted to make “Becoming A Microgreen Master” THE best book for all things Microgreens, starting with the ABC's to the biggest complexities. For the beginner grower, all the way to veteran green thumbs, “Becoming A Microgreen Master” has provided value to thousands of people worldwide. With this in mind, there’s a reason why our book has sold in over 75 countries around the world since May 2021! And, while we try to keep to our most humbled selves, we take great pride in knowing that many people refer to it as a “Microgreen Bible”!
