I've been looking at seed catalogues and seed packets on sale locally
in grocery stores, etc., and have seen that prices are much too high
to grow ones own microgreens based on the price for the small seed
packets.

Does anyone know of a source in _CANADA_ (or at the very least USA) of
mixed microgreen salad green seeds sold in bulk - i.e., priced per lb
or kg), by any chance?

I'd also prefer organic seeds, too.

Thanks so much in advance!

What exactly do you mean by "microgreens"?

LOL. I'm pleased to see that you aren't following the latest fad :-))

Microgreens are the latest best thing and are EVERYWHERE at the moment.
Just look around the counter area of your local nursery next time you are in
there and you'll see them. You will also have been given a packet if you
buy both of the local major gardenign mag as they've been the 'free' feature
pack on the front of one or the other within the last couple of months.

Basically cast your midn back to the 70s when it was all about sprouts in
jars festering on or under sinks in old jam jars.

Microgreens are the modern day equivalent but rather than using the old
rinse twice daily method they now say to put them in a seed raising tray in
seedling mix and cut when they get their first set of true leaves.

The 'greens' part of the name is a mesclun mix in effect.
