Growing Media for Microgreens
Commercial microgreens growers switching to bio365 growing media harvest larger crops faster that taste and look better using less space, soil, and labor.
Specifically Designed to Optimize Microgreens
bio365 custom designed the perfect media solution for microgreens growers. Our multi-patented technology help plants reach their full potential and help cultivators reduce the cost of growing.
- FSMA compliant
- OMRI Listed® for organic use
- Tested for pathogens and heavy metals
- Third party lab tested
- Manufactured, packaged, and stored in HEPA-filtered, positive air-pressure controlled environments in the USA
Why Commercial Microgreens Cultivators Choose bio365
Controlled environment growers who switch to bio365’s biologically-active and clean media report transformational changes in yield, speed, efficiency, and quality.
Food Safety Compliance Guarantee
bio365 is perhaps the only growing media that is both FSMA compliant and OMRI Listed.
Rigorous batch-level testing for Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli, and heavy metals comes standard — with documentation you can hand directly to purchasing managers at grocery chains and institutional buyers.
Better Yields, Taste & Shelf Life
Living biology in the rootzone allows microgreens to maximize genetic potential.
Growers consistently report stronger, more nutritionally dense crops that taste better, hold their appearance longer after harvest, and command premium positioning with quality-focused buyers.
Faster Harvest
Cycles
Biologically-active rootzones drive faster seedling establishment and crop development.
Commercial growers routinely report reaching harvest maturity multiple days sooner — compressing cycle times, increasing annual production runs, and expanding revenue capacity without adding facility space.
Automation-Ready Consistency
bio365 media is manufactured to a precise, fine-grade specification — uncompressed, evenly hydrated, and completely free of rocks, clumps, and debris.
It flows through automated flat-filling equipment without disruption and delivers consistent germination performance batch after batch, crop cycle after crop cycle.
Optional Water-Only Workflow
You have the option of a water-only workflow because the media is pre-loaded with bioavailable organic nutrients (right amount of nitrogen and complex organic nutrient profile) so your team simply waters from seed to harvest.
No fertigation equipment, daily mixing, or nutrient solution management. The savings can reshape your cost structure for a 7-14 day crop.
If you prefer controlling your own feeding, we have a media option for that, too.
Cost Savings
bio365 media is designed for optimized microgreens, so plants reach their full genetic potential while large-scale commercial cultivators’ save money.
The precision engineered media improves nutrient and water efficiency, allows you to grow bigger, healthier plants faster using less soil, and eliminates many operational tasks that require labor expenses.
Reliable Partnership
bio365 manages its supply chain proactively. Standard lead times are measured in days, not months.
Emergency orders are handled the same day. And every shipment meets the same specification as the last.
In an operation where production runs continuously, your media supplier is a strategic partner — bio365 treats it that way.
How does bio365 make Clean, Biologically-Active Media for CEA?
There are real science, innovative technology, multi-patented inventions, and proprietary processes that go into manufacturing the only 100% clean and biologically-active growing media that safely brings nature back to controlled environments.
bioCHARGE® Beneficial Biology
Proprietary clean, wide-spectrum beneficial microbiology cultured entirely indoors without compost or worm castings.
It allows plants to signal the clean microbiology when they need nutrients, water, or help battling pests and pathogens.
bioCORE® Biochar
Patented high-temperature, high-carbon biochar matrix derived from softwoods.
It acts as the ideal host for bio365’s clean microbiology, stores water and bioavailable nutrients to deliver on demand as the plant needs them, and boosts cation exchange capacity (CEC).
Bioavailable Nutrients
Using a proprietary biotransformation process, we transform organic nutrients in bio365 media and nutrients growers add into their most bioavailable form.
This provides plants the high-quality nutrition they need to thrive while reducing fertilizer costs.
Clean Manufacturing
Every bio365 blend is manufactured in the USA, entirely indoors in HEPA-filtered, positive air-pressure facilities following a strict 42-point quality control process.
Every input and batch is tested for cleanliness to meet FSMA and OMRI requirements.

Contamination incidents since switching to bio365
From inconsistent, untested soil to a
150% yield increase and a business transformed.
Farming Turtles operates 958,320 sq ft of canopy in Rhode Island producing certified organic microgreens, baby greens, and wheatgrass for supermarkets, specialty retailers, and restaurants across New England.
The Challenge
For years, Farming Turtles struggled with suppliers who couldn’t provide FSMA-compliant growing media on reliable timelines. Some required up to three months’ advance notice. Others shipped media that arrived inconsistent or untested — a liability for a farm whose food safety certification required rigorous pathogen and heavy metal controls.
The Switch
Over the years, Farming Turtles has used several bio365 mixes — including BIOGREENS™ and BIOSTART™— all manufactured indoors, batch-tested, and delivered within typical two-week lead times. The farm’s food safety program requires testing everything that enters their property; bio365 provides the documentation as standard practice.
The Result
A complete transformation. Higher yields per tray. Faster cycles. Dramatically lower resource requirements. And microgreens that taste better and hold their quality longer for retail and foodservice buyers.
“In the microgreen world, you get your money from how big and beautiful your crops are, how long they last, and how good they taste. With bio365, our crops are bigger, stronger, more attractive, longer-lasting, and better tasting. We can grow more than twice as much with half the soil, half the space, and half the labor.”
bio365 Works with You from First Conversation to Full production
bio365’s commercial team understands how microgreens operations actually run. The path from inquiry to results is short.
Step 1
Contact our Commercial Team
- Tell us about your operation — your canopy, your crop mix, your current media, and what you’re trying to improve. We’ll identify the right blend and discuss trial parameters tailored to your production environment.
Step 2
Run a Structured Trial- Start with a side-by-side comparison against your current media. Track germination rates, days to maturity, yield per tray, and any labor changes. The data from your own facility is the most compelling evidence you’ll find.
Step 3
Scale with Confidence- Once the trial results are clear, bio365 works with you on supply planning, lead times, and order structure to ensure a seamless transition at full production volume — with no disruption to your crop cycles.
