If you want to grow more microgreens with less space and labor, then this farm tour is for you. Microgreens Consulting is visiting Kyan Culture, a certified organic microgreens farm in Ottawa, Canada run by Sam Doucet. Sam started in a one-bedroom apartment and now runs a streamlined, high-yield operation — producing 500g of broccoli, 900g of pea shoots, and 1200g of sunflower per tray.
Sam dives deep into how he built a grocery-store-focused farm that's profitable, efficient, and ready to scale. If you're serious about growing better microgreens or building a successful business, this video has tips to help your learning curve.
You will learn how Sam is able to double his average yields with seed selection and soil strategy, his exact process for seeding, watering, climate control, and germination, why Kyan Culture's custom tray-cleaning setup saves hours of labor, how they manage inventory, traceability, and GAP certification, and what it really takes to scale a microgreens business for retail. Additionally, Sam speaks about the seeding and germination process involved in microgreens, the climate control needed for such a large operation, the harvesting and packaging of his products, and how he and his team are able to make sure that their facility stays free of any habits that may cause the microgreens to become diseased.
