As an Organic Microgreens Farmer selling at farmers markets, I am responsible for planting, maintaining, and harvesting microgreens in a controlled environment to ensure optimal growth. I dehydrate and process microgreens into powder form, manage inventory, and set up and operate a stall at farmers markets. I engage with customers, providing product information, and handle sales transactions while promoting products through social media. Additionally, I maintain accurate records and ensure compliance with organic certification standards, consistently delivering excellent customer service and building a loyal customer base.
