Nature of Operations [Text Block] | Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business Effective January 21, 2021, we changed our name from Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. (business acquired with our October 1, 2020 acquisition of S-FDF, LLC) to Sow Good Inc. (“SOWG,” “Sow Good,” or the “Company”) to pursue the production of freeze dried fruits and vegetables, a business we later expanded to include freeze dried candy. At that time, our common stock began to be quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG,” from the former trading symbol “ANFC.” Prior to April 2, 2012, Black Ridge Oil & Gas was known as Ante5, Inc., a publicly traded company since July 1, 2010. From October 2010 through August 2019, Ante5, Inc. and Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. participated in the acquisition and development of oil and gas leases. On May 5, 2021, the Company announced the launch of our direct-to-consumer freeze dried consumer packaged goods (CPG) food brand, Sow Good. Sow Good launched its first line of non-GMO products including six ready-to-make smoothies and nine snacks. On July 23, 2021, we launched six new gluten-free granola products under the Sow Good brand. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company launched a freeze dried candy product line with a 9-nine SKU offering that is projected to continue being a major driver of growth. After launching our freeze dried candy product line we discontinued our smoothie, snack and granola products. During the second quarter of 2023, we completed the construction of our second and third freeze driers to facilitate the increased production demands for our recently launched candy products. The significant and rising demand for our freeze dried candy products has led us to begin construction of our fourth, fifth, and sixth freeze driers, which we expect to be completed in the first quarter of 2024. | Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business Effective January 21, 2021, we changed our name from Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. to Sow Good Inc. (“SOWG,” “Sow Good,” or the “Company”) to pursue the freeze dried fruits and vegetables business as acquired with our October 1, 2020 acquisition of S-FDF, LLC. Our common stock is traded on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG”. At that time, our common stock started to be quoted on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “SOWG”, from the former trading symbol “ANFC”. Prior to April 2, 2012, the Company name was Ante5, Inc., which became an independent company in April 2010. We became a publicly traded company when our shares began trading on July 1, 2010. From October 2010 through August 2019, we had been engaged in the business of acquiring oil and gas leases and participating in the drilling of wells in the Bakken and Three Forks trends in North Dakota and Montana and /or managing similar assets for third parties. On September 26, 2017, the Company finalized an equity raise utilizing a rights offering and backstop agreement, raising net proceeds of $5,051,675 and issuing 1,439,400 shares. The proceeds were used to sponsor a special purpose acquisition company, discussed below, with the remainder for general corporate purposes. On October 10, 2017, the Company’s sponsored special purpose acquisition company, Black Ridge Acquisition Corp. (“BRAC”), completed an IPO raising $138,000,000 of gross proceeds (including proceeds from the exercise of an over-allotment option by the underwriters on October 18, 2017). In addition, the Company purchased 445,000 BRAC units at $10.00 per unit in a private placement transaction for a total contribution of $4,450,000 in order to fulfill its obligations in sponsoring BRAC, a blank check company formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. BRAC’s efforts to identify a prospective target business were not limited to a particular industry or geographic region. Following the IPO and over-allotment, BROG owned 22% of the outstanding common stock of BRAC and managed BRAC’s operations via a management services agreement. On December 19, 2018, BRAC entered into a business combination agreement, which subsequently closed on August 9, 2019.
