In this episode I'm joined by Katie and Jon Tlush from Tlush Family Farm near Philadelphia. Among other things, Katie and Jon are growing and selling both mushrooms and microgreens, growing both indoors.

This is a really interesting episode, especially if mushroom growing is something you have been considering or are interested in.

Discussed in this episode:

• How within 9 months, Katie and Jon have outgrown their basement grow room, and are ready for a commercial facility.
• The whole process of mushroom growing - how you do it, the challenges, where to sell them etc.
• Running a microgreens business as a couple.

In this episode I'm joined by Sho Kasuya and Tony Ross from Creative Urban Farms in New Zealand. Tony and sho are business partners and manage to run their microgreens business from seperate households, while also keeping full time jobs and having young families!

An interesting thing about ton and Sho's partnership is that they didn't know each other before going into business together. So this is a really good episode to listen to if starting a microgreens business in a partnership is something you've been considering.

Tony and Sho also have other interesting business projects going on, including bee keeping and designing outdoor growing spaces. We cover this in the episode too.

Discussed in this episode:

• Starting a microgreens business in a partnership.
• The logistics of running a microgreens business from two locations.
• What it's like running a microgreens business in New Zealand.
• What makes a successful business partnership.
• Renting bee hives and bee keeping as a subscription service.
