An apparatus for growing and harvesting a tangled mass composed of sprouted seed grain, including a plurality of overlying movable (relative to the frame), substantially planar surfaces having a length, each surface movable (relative to the frame) between a first position and a second position, each surface configured to receive a layer of seed grain that is permitted to grow for a predetermined period of time on each surface in the first position, the layer of seed grain becoming a continuous tangled mass of sprouted seed grain. After the predetermined period of time, a surface of the plurality of surfaces is moved to the second position, such that the mass associated with the moved surface is at least substantially removable from the moved surface due to gravity.
