Learn how we grow

Harvest more, waste less, taste better

Our plants grow in a safe, clean, controlled atmosphere, in water, without soil, using just the right mix of nutrients and light. This allows us to increase crop yield and nutritional value with less waste, using fewer natural resources. The result is outstanding, all-natural disease-free produce without the use of pesticides. Truly, the taste of better.

  • Know where your food is grown

    Nearly all produce sold in stores is imported. Ours is grown locally in our communities.

  • Close proximity to the market

    Greens arrive fresher than imports harvested thousands of miles away.

  • No pesticides, chemicals, or GMO’s

    Our plants grow in a closed grow room with a controlled atmosphere & are disease free.

  • Protection from climate change

    Indoor farms produce high volume using less resources & with very little waste.
