HOW WE GROW

Hydroponic Indoor Growing

Our farm is indoors and set up in a vertical growing style. Growing vertically gives you the opportunity to grow more crops in a smaller space.

Soil-less Growing

All of our crops are grown hydroponically. Hydroponics is the process of growing plants in sand, gravel, liquid or an alternative soil blend. This is basically a method of growing plants without traditional soil. We grow our crops on a peet moss medium mixed with Coconut Coir and airlite. The is made from coconut husks and ground down so it gives you a finer, softer finished product. Coco Coir is 100% organic, renewable and environmentally sustainable.The coir is PH neutral, holds moisture very well, has no odor and is bacteria free. We combine the coir with PRO MIX HP soil with is a combination of purified soil and perlite.

Watering

We water our microgreens in a flood and drain system, it keeps watering very efficient and allows the micros to drain easily from excess watering. Its also a very sustainable way to preserve water and prevent waste.

Organic/Compostable/Sustainable

Microgreen grows require very little power and natural resources. Hydroponics are very earth friendly and sustainable. Plants grown this way require 20% less water than traditional growing. All our micros are grown organically and with NON-GMO seed. We also compost all our used mediums after harvest, putting them back into our garden outdoors.

Lighting

Microgreens can grow under full spectrum pink grow lights. The bulbs are very efficient and energy friendly. Each unit has a reflective panel so they can increase their output by 50% without consuming more electricity. There is very little wasted light energy in the microgreen production.

Growing Conditions

Growing indoors has another big benefit, you can easily control the growing conditions of your crops. We have air conditioning, a dehumidifier and fans all running inside the grow room. Optimal temps and humidity in the room give our crops the best possible chance of survival and producing the best yields.
