Covered Benches: An Accessible, Expandable Outdoor Microgreens Growing Space
Introduction to Microgreens Growing Benches Microgreens growing benches are one of the simplest and most effective ways to begin producing microgreens, particularly in milder climates. They represent a low-barrier, semi-outdoor infrastructure option that provides a surprising amount of flexibility. Originally developed out of necessity for low-cost infrastructure that could be rapidly deployed and adapted, the…
Designing Microgreens Workflow and Layout: Creating Flow, Minimizing Risk
Introduction to Microgreens Workflow When setting up a microgreens production site, one of the most impactful — and often underappreciated — tasks is designing a site layout that supports efficient workflow and reduces the risk of contamination. Whether you’re working in a greenhouse, warehouse, or backyard setup, your layout directly affects how well your system…

Introduction If you’ve outgrown your living room grow rack but aren’t quite ready for a commercial lease, a garage can be the perfect transitional space. Garages offer more flexibility and capacity than indoor home setups, while still benefiting from the cost-saving advantages of using property you already own or rent. Many successful growers scale up…
Greenhouse Microgreens Production: Harnessing the Power of Sunlight
Introduction Greenhouses occupy a unique and powerful middle ground between low-cost outdoor setups and high-investment warehouse systems. They combine the environmental control of indoor production with the natural benefits of sunlight, offering a high-performance space that can scale up or down depending on your needs and climate. Maximizing Light At their core, greenhouses are about…
Indoor Home Production: From Basements to Bedrooms to Living Rooms
Introduction For many aspiring growers, the easiest place to begin producing microgreens is indoors at home — especially during colder seasons or in dense urban areas with limited outdoor space. Indoor home production can be as modest as a metal rack with a few lights in your basement, living room, or spare room. Home is…
Warehouse Microgreens Production: Scaling Up for Commercial Volume
Introduction When demand grows beyond what a garage can handle, many growers consider moving into a commercial warehouse space. This is a major step — both in operational complexity and in cost. A warehouse can support hundreds of trays per week, but it also requires serious investment in infrastructure, utilities, and (often) regulatory compliance. Warehouse…
