Have you ever wanted to start a microgreens business? Or simply be a microgreens farmer? My friends Remko and Anneke are DOING IT in the middle of Barcelona, a bustling international city.
In this tour I take you through their farm in two parts. First, we look at their initial test farm, going over their growing method and crops they grow. Then, we go to their new facility which is still under construction to show you how they plan to scale up.
You’ll learn a ton about unique microgreen growing methods as well…a few I’ve never seen or tested before!

interesting might try that wicking system with my aquaponic setup , might let me grow ontop of the fish tanks then 😛 the running water will have better oxygen absorption from having a huge surface area that's why they grow better, look into Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor and get some living organisms into the mix for Symbiotic Relationship to help aid the roots
Nice set up and good video
Great video.
I have to questions as I do not know how to get this:
A) the cellulose grow medium – where do get it?
B) the great steel shelves – where can I get these? I love the construction of them.
Thanks.
Awesome set up. What material were they using for the water to slide down to each new level? Metal or fabric?
If it's not grown in soil it's not a microgreen. Hydroponic/soiless is called sprouts. Drastic difference in taste, color and quality
thanks for the video. I prefer natural light. Nothing can replace our beloved sun.
very nice! 🙂
Is there a way to contact remko or Anneke. I am curious about their lightning. The growshops here only sell weed stuff Wich I highly doubt are good for this. Way to overpowered. I wonder if they meant dutch grow shops
Where did they get the mini trays, wicks etc from? Are these custom made or readily available?
Hello! Great video, curious if the water is straight water or if there is nutrients added to water. Thanks!
Excellent, thanks for sharing the wisdom.
Badass
I'm in the US and just starting this. Interested in where you get the cellulose medium. I'm searching for a non-soil medium that has no chemicals and certified food safe trays.
wow great video! one question how often do they change the water in the "new system" they use? thanks
I don't think they mentioned this but is the water they run through the system just water or is the water "treated" with a nutrient system?
I like this style and the prototype watering system looks amazing. What is the watering cycle times on and off? This food is a better choice and nothing compares
for anyone looking for the trays I did find something very similar and just ordered a few of them. You can find them at this link: https://www.gardeners.com/buy/large-boot-tray/30-144.html
for their germination process, do they do it the same way as one would do it with soil? Does the thin cellulose material make it difficult to germinate?
Hi how many holes has each big tray to let the water drain? thanks
Holy crap….I have a drawing we did of System like this that we were going to implement. Cool to see a running system like this. Damm they beat me to it…hahahah
does anyone have a similar system? Wondering what the gallon per hour rate of water is.
Wow that system is so awesome!
Great content, thank you for sharing 🙂
Another interesting tour. Thank you, Josh. I appreciate your efforts and look forward to your videos.
Any idea where i could get info on those cellulose pads?
If I wanted to build the same racks and bolts what do I google or buy at home depot?
@Epic Gardening
This is so encouraging. Looking at a video like this makes me want to push harder to start my own business.
