Introduction

Below are the approximate yields that we expect when we grow our microgreens at my farm, Piedmont Microgreens, as of July 12th, 2024. We’ve tweaked our yield numbers during the last five years of growing microgreens, but your yield numbers may be different. I’ve also included the sow density, grow time, and whether or not we soak, for each crop.
