NEXT MEETING: Friday, April 11th, 2025  Speaker is Mark Kanterman: 

Mission Microgreens took root in Mark Kanterman's apartment in New York. He decided to try his hand at Aquaponicsa symbiotic system between fish and plants. As time went on he researched a faster way to grow vegetables. These microgreens can be harvested from seed in 7-10 days and this intrigued him. His research led him to a farmer's course created by Nade Dodson. This course helped him to fine tune his growing methods. Another mentor was Don Dillilo of Finast foods who was able to supply the system for growing. Together with their help he learned how to consistently grow microgreens. Mark began sampling his product in his condominium to neighbors. 

For more information, please contact Petra Russell, RFC President - President@pbrarefruitcouncil.org 

We hope to see and connect with you soon!
