In this episode, host Jonah Krochmalnek sits down with Josh Schaver, founder of Greener Harvest Seeds, who shares his inspiring story of building a thriving microgreens business in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Josh takes us through his journey from initial research to growing his first 25-30 trays, securing his first restaurant client, and scaling up to a climate-controlled warehouse. He also delves into launching a seed business in 2021 that tackles quality issues in the industry and now supports a wide range of growers. Josh talks about the challenges he’s faced, from supply chain struggles to the need for better education in urban farming, and discusses how this work impacts food security and nutrition. Tune in to learn about the evolving urban farming landscape and why reliable, top-quality seeds are essential for success.
