Greenhouse for Microgreens Growing
Greenhouse microgreens are one of the highest-margin crops per square foot in modern protected agriculture, with 7-14 day cycles and selling prices 5-15× higher than the equivalent mature vegetable. A greenhouse guarantees the light, temperature and humidity conditions needed to produce microgreens with intense color, concentrated flavor and free of contamination, meeting the food safety requirements of restaurants, hotels and premium supermarkets.

7-14 day maximum rotation cycles
Extremely fast turnover lets you adapt production to weekly demand from each client, growing exactly what the market pays most for at any given moment.
Premium product for foodservice
Greenhouse microgreens are standard in fine dining, valued for flavor concentration, vibrant color and visual presentation that no other product matches.
Agronomist Tip
Invest in full-spectrum LED supplemental lighting for cloudy days in microgreen greenhouses, insufficient light produces etiolated (pale, flavorless) microgreens that lose all premium value; the lighting investment recovers in 2-3 weeks of production.
