About this listen
This isn’t a dream for people with sprawling backyards or fancy greenhouses; it’s for renters, dreamers, and anyone fed up with overpriced, wilted groceries that taste like cardboard. In 2025, food prices keep climbing—$3 for a sad bunch of spinach? No thanks. Meanwhile, apartments keep shrinking, leaving us with barely enough room for a couch, let alone a garden. But you don’t need space to grow your own—you just need a plan, and Pocket Farm is your blueprint. Sage has been there, starting in a studio with one foggy window and a fire escape that creaked under his dreams. He overwatered, under-lit, and still turned that corner into a jungle of tomatoes, herbs, and greens. If he can do it—a guy who once killed a cactus with too much love—you can too.
Inside, you’ll get everything you need to start today: a $20 shopping list (think buckets, soil, seeds), step-by-step setup for your 5-square-foot farm, and daily care tips that fit into your busiest days. Sage walks you through 10 crops that thrive in small spaces—cherry tomatoes, microgreens, basil, radishes, spinach, green onions, arugula, cilantro, pea shoots, and lettuce—each with clear instructions on planting, growing, and harvesting. You’ll learn to stack pots like a pro, use a $15 LED bulb if your window’s weak, and troubleshoot like a farmer (gnats? Vinegar. Leggy plants? More light). In as little as 10 days, you’ll snip microgreens for a salad; in 60, you’ll bite into a tomato you grew yourself—sweet, warm, yours.
But this isn’t just about food—it’s about taking back control, finding joy, and proving you can do it. Every leaf you pick is a win, a middle finger to grocery bills, a quiet rebellion against a world that wants you dependent. Sage shares his hard-earned tricks—like using coffee grounds for fertilizer, regrowing green onions from scraps, and turning a milk jug into a planter—so you skip the mistakes he made (sorry, cactus). He’s with you every step, from your first sprout to your first harvest, cheering you on like a friend who’s been there.
Whether you’re a renter with a corner to spare, a student in a dorm, a parent juggling chaos, or just someone who wants to eat fresher, Pocket Farm empowers you to grow your own way. You’ll save money—$20 grows more than you’d spend on greens in a month—save space, and savor the pride of eating what you nurtured. Picture it: 5 minutes a day, a few pots by the window, and suddenly you’re eating salads, garnishes, snacks you grew—not bought. It’s not a pipe dream; it’s a pocket farm, and it starts now.
