Microgreens Production Workshop, Friday December 6, 2013

Micro-greens are young, nutritious seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs that are harvested and eaten in less than 14 days. Research has shown that micro-greens offer a nutritional punch well above their weight, providing nourishment and flavor that is sought after by consumers and top chefs. 

Participants will join veteran micro-greens producer and farmer Ken Ryan who will impart sound knowledge and techniques gathered over three decades in New England and in Florida, on how to grow, nurture and excel at producing micro-greens as nutritional “powerhouses” that can be enjoyed all year round in salads, soups, and sandwiches. Drawing on his skill-sets and unique marketing approach, Ken will elaborate on how to produce micro-greens as an agri-business enterprise.

Space is limited so please pre-register with a non-refundable payment of $100 by Friday November 22, 2013.
