Well, after a very successful season I am pretty much fully wrapped up now. I should have my production manual finished within the next 2 months and will soon start doing seed trials for next season as I am considering trying to get my production Certified Organic. There may be a few challenges since I am urban-centered, but I am confident I will be able to adequately address any concerns of the Certification Committee. I am now more concerned about finding good enough certified organic seed. This year I used a hybrid seed that performed so perfectly it is almost hard to believe (though I will give my production method a bit of credit as well!). I am not as concerned about volume of production as I am about uniformity. The sprouts this year were so uniform the trays looked like a perfect carpet of sprouts. Quite beautiful.
My big challenge right now is still finding an appropriate urban location for production! I have been too busy lately to do a thorough search, but I do have a few potential spots. I am just holding out for something a little closer to home!
