I've been growing microgreens and giving out free samples to restaurants, neighbors, and at the farmers market for two months. But no one has followed up or shown interest in buying.


I'm starting to feel like I've been growing and harvesting every week for nothing. I've got 20 trays of different varieties on shelves, and it feels like I'm just wasting money.


I don't know what else to try to sell them.


If you're wondering about pricing: I charge $15 for a full tray and $5 for a 10 oz portion. It's cheap—but still, nobody seems to want them.

Alright, so here's the deal. You're running into a classic conversion funnel snag right between leads and actual sales. Let's break it down. First off, what kinds of microgreens are you growing? And are you pitching to high-end restaurants or more casual spots like cafés? That $5 for 10 oz pricing is kind of throwing things off. Most buyers are used to smaller units, so they might not be getting the value you're offering. You'd probably benefit from a clean CRM setup to track follow-ups, and a solid sell sheet with flavor notes and usage ideas could really help you stand out.

yeah, your pricing isn't the problem. In fact, $15 for a full tray might even be too low, and that could be hurting you.
Microgreens are a premium product. The issue isn't that they're too expensive, but it's that people don't know why they should pay that price.
You have to sell the value, the fresh flavor, the high nutritional content, and the fact that they're locally grown. Focus on your message more than your price
