My Story
Meet Milos Vukcevic – Founder of Microgreen Silo
Hello there, I’m Milos, creator of Microgreen Silo.
I’m a blogger, gardener, husband, and father with a Bachelor of Agricultural Science – BAgSci from Massey University New Zealand.
I’m excited to share my story behind Microgreen Silo.
This story began with a cherished Slavic tradition from my mom, Veselinka – growing microgreen wheatgrass to predict the year’s prosperity.
Before Christmas Eve, usually on Saint Nicholas Day, December 19th, she would plant wheatgrass, symbolizing a good harvest, traditionally adorned with a red ribbon and a lit candle.
Later, during my teen years, in early 2004, she was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. She had three surgeries in an attempt to remove the tumor, and every time, the cancer came back stronger than before.
Not long after the surgeries, she tried to treat her cancer using wheatgrass. I would help her cultivate, juice, dry, and make powder.
Even though she was very sick, she knew this wouldn’t cure her illness; she made up a story about how wheatgrass could help her beat this thing to comfort me. Before passing, she told me the truth: she just wanted to spend as much time with me as possible.
I grew and consumed so much raw wheatgrass juice during this time that the mere smell of it made me feel sick! But I did it in solidarity with my mom in hopes it would cure her; life, though, had other plans.
She passed away in early 2005, on January 5th.
After her passing, I continued growing wheatgrass. I transformed her tradition into a personal passion.
What started as a coping mechanism evolved into an obsession with growing various plants as microgreens. From cultivating radishes to popcorn, I just went crazy at all the possibilities.
Since then, I’ve faced countless challenges and learned from numerous mistakes.
That’s why I created Microgreen Silo – to share my insights and help you grow amazing microgreens while avoiding the pitfalls I encountered.
