What We Grow
Our technology from FarmBox Foods has the ability to grow over 200 varieties of leafy greens, herbs, roots, trees, and flowers all year. We will be focusing on leafy greens & herbs to start but will add in special offerings seasonally
If there is a variety you would like to have us test in our farm, please send us a note on our Contact Us page and we will be happy to look into the opportunity.
HOW WE GROW
What is Hydroponic Farming?
Hydroponic farming is a growing method that submerges the plants roots in nutrient rich water to enable growth, no soil required. Additionally, the water used can be recovered and recycled. Using this innovative technology allows us to have a higher yield and use less land, water, and energy than traditional farming
By using controlled environment agriculture (CEA) we are able to keep and maintain the optimal growing conditions for plants, even though the weather outside may be inhospitable

PROXIMITY
Growing in and around the community maximizes the freshness and nutrition levels by having harvest to table times in a matter of days or hours.
NUTRIENT DENSE
Most food available today travels hundreds if not thousands of miles and takes days or weeks to reach your store, losing at least 55% of their nutritional value along the way (source: UC Davis).
NO NEED FOR HERBICIDES OR PESTICIDES
All plants are grown without the use of pesticides since we control the environment and use at least 90% less water than traditional farming; good for you AND good for the planet.
HIGHER YIELD
Plants grow twice as fast and produce 3x-10x more food than conventional agriculture in the same space
LOWER WATER CONSUMPTION
Hydroponic farming uses at least 90% less water than traditional farming because the water goes straight to the plants roots, they absorb what they need, and the rest of the water becomes recirculated and reused.
