    Advantages of Hydroponics

    Hydroponics is the method of growing plants without soil in which the nutrients are specifically administered using mineral nutrient solutions in a constant flow of water. In our case the lettuce is seeded in rockwool cubes that will hold the plant in place and allow the roots to grow covered in the N.F.T (nutrient film technique) hydroponic channels. We also use a variety of growing mediums such as hemp and burlap for hydroponic microgreens.

     

    Unlike Soil, our hydpronic systems feed the plant directly.  This way they get more of the water and nutrients they need in an ultra-efficient manner
    We have installed the latest Reverse Osmosis water filtration system to ensure our plants have the cleanest water available.
    Efficiency is the name of the game and what we excel at.  Because we are more efficient, the plants require less energy making it more sustainable for the environment
    This is a major concern for farmers that utilize soil as a medium.  Since we don't use soil, we don't have to worry about soil quality at all!
    We have full control over our environment including heat, humidity, shade, water supply, nutrients, and more.  We can match conditions to best suit our current crop.
    Just like it sounds.  We avoid soil completely.  If our plants don't contact soil, they stay cleaner.
