Patru Dumitru is a mushroom microgreen wunderkind. If that wasnât a thing, it is now.
After dropping out from a year of business school at UCCS, he started a hydroponics business at age 19 in his parentsâ garage, selling a rig he designed called the âHerbaHammock.â Sold for $125, it could grow 30 lettuce heads monthly. He wanted to empower people living in apartments or places without backyards to grow their own food, but after a couple years of giving it a go at farmers markets and failing to make much money, he embarked on a new journey. A local chef had asked him one day if he grew microgreens, so he looked into it, and became interested.Â
