The Five Promises
What every screen has to honor
Best-researched content
Every factual claim cited. Gold / Silver / Bronze source tiers visible on every page. Reviewed every 12 months.
Most interactive learning
Simulations, drag-and-drop labs, photo challenges. Talking-head video capped at 15%. If a concept can be a sim, it is.
Progression that feels like achievement
XP, streaks, levels, and verifiable certifications. Stardew Valley meets Khan Academy. Every step celebrated.
Universal access
Foundations tier free forever. WCAG 2.2 AA. Low-bandwidth mode. Offline core. Built for every learner.
Real-world outcomes
Every module connects to a real tray, a real yield number, a real business decision. Knowledge for growing food and earning a living.
Interactive over passive
If a concept can be a simulation, it is one.
Every core microgreens concept has an interactive lab — not a YouTube link, not a PDF. Drag sliders on the Mold Risk Visualizer and watch species-specific risk change in real time. Walk through phase timing at 1:1000 speed. Diagnose real grower photos. This is how you actually build intuition.

Four-tier mastery model
From your first sprout to your first sale — and beyond.
Progress by demonstrating skill, not by watching videos. Every module ends in a real tray, a real measurement, or a mastery quiz at 80% threshold.

~80 hrs
Specialty species, climate control, restaurant sales, full P&L.
Master
Educator & innovator
Commitment
~150 hrs + capstone
Design facilities, mentor cohorts, run original research.
The Research Integrity System
Cited over claimed.
Every factual statement is tied to a peer-reviewed source, an extension publication, or a named expert. We tier every citation and tell you exactly how confident to be. Every page has a "last reviewed" date. You can flag anything you disagree with — it routes to the editorial queue.
Peer-reviewed journal articles

Practitioner anecdote
Clearly labeled, never fact-adjacent
Microgreens can contain up to 40× the nutrient concentration of their mature vegetable counterparts.
Your first tray is one lesson away.
Foundations is free — five modules, roughly eight hours, ending with your first harvest and your first certificate. No credit card. Ever.
