Plant
Students plant the seeds into coconut husks (no soil needed!) About 80% of seeds turn into seedlings.
Grow
Seedlings get transferred into vertical rows. The technology within the farm provides the water, light and nutrients for the seedlings to thrive!
Harvest
Once the plants are big enough, it's time to harvest! The greens are plucked and separated - no need to wash! The farm is fully organic and there's no harmful pesticides to rinse off!
Consume
Now that the harvest is over, the organic lettuce can be sent to the cafeteria or even sold to local restaraunts or at farmers markets!
ABOUT THE FARM Classrooms
The farm classrooms we place at schools are contained inside of converted shipping containers that utilize state-of-the-art technology, systems, and design. These efficient farms of the future utilize vertical, hydroponic grow towers which are harvested year-round, producing the equivalent of a two-acre traditional farm. Once established, the farm systems including watering, nutrient infusion, and grow lights can be operated from a computer or mobile app controlling all aspects of the environment including temperature and humidity. A wide variety of vegetables can be produced inside these units including leafy greens, root vegetables, herbs, and even berries and flowers. All of the food is grown free from herbicides or pesticides and never absorbs contaminants often found in the air, water, and soil. These nutrient-dense foods are easy to harvest and distribute through cafeterias, classrooms, food pantries, farmer’s markets, and more!
Student Involvement
Not only are the agriculture students learning the about high tech hydroponic farming, other classrooms can gain valuable knowledge as well!
Salad Bar Savings
The produce is grown by the students, and eaten by the students! Each school can save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on cafeteria costs.
