Hi, I'm Sean Short
And I empower chicken keepers to feed their flocks affordably, sustainably, and easily.
I'm the co-founder of Blooming Health Farms, a nonprofit farm that nurtures at-risk youth through agricultural entrepreneurship. With a B.S. in Molecular Biology from the University of Hawai'i at MÄnoa and ongoing graduate studies in Systems Engineering at Johns Hopkins, I've dedicated over thirteen years to mastering hydroponics and water treatment. Today, I help chicken keepers improve egg quality, regulate feed costs, and raise thriving flocks.
I understand the challenges you faceârising feed costs, ensuring proper nutrition, and staying sustainableâand Iâm here to make it easier for you.
âNow, in my new book, Thinking Outside The Soil, Iâm excited to share the proven techniques and insider tips Iâve refined over the last decadeâso you can give your flock a nutritious, cost-effective feed source. If youâre ready to reduce your feed bill without compromising on quality, this book is your step-by-step roadmap.
Whether youâre a backyard hobbyist or a growing farm, youâll find step-by-step guidance, troubleshooting advice, and real-world examples that make it easy to start sprouting for your birds right away. I wrote this book with you in mindâwhether youâre a complete beginner or a seasoned farmer looking to optimize your flockâs nutrition.
âBut my path wasn't always smooth. I've fallen from a thirty-foot building and fought addictionâbattles that have molded me into the resilient soul I am today. When I'm not working, you'll find me competing in off-road triathlons, breeding cherry tomatoes, or penning poetry and reflective essays.
â
âTake a peek inside, and discover how to give your chickens the nutritious edge they deserve, starting today!
âOrder your copy and give your flock the boost theyâll thank you for.
Now, my mother taught me not to brag, so I'll let others do it for me. So,
Here's what Other Homesteaders just like you are saying
âââââ
An easy, enjoyable read that makes complex ideas simple

STILL GOT QUESTIONS? I GOT YOU!
âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ - A hydroponic sprout system would definitely add a ton of value to my homestead!â
Obviously, a ton of research and time went into the author's explanations in laymanâs terms, which I really appreciated. Getting to know his background and passion behind Blooming Health Farms was really helpful, and I loved that he also gave us (as readers) other options that he felt were reputable and sound investments.
Overall, I really like what Sean is doing, and a hydroponic sprout system would definitely add a ton of value to my homestead.

âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸âď¸ - Now I know the secret to saving money while producing higher quality product
I love that this book breaks down hard facts to a level I can easily understand and apply. I learned a lot about how hydroponics systems work & why they should be better utilized. Not only does it make sense from a financial standpoint, but with so many other benefits it seems silly not to invest in this method of farming.
It was fun to learn a bit about the author. I can see where Sean's passion comes from. As an expert in his field, he brings knowledge to the table. But I see additional advantages to working with him. I admire the "hands-on" approach to his philosophy. Running his own farm enables Sean to really grasp farming needs and identify opportunities to produce higher quality product with fewer resources.
