Water

We use up to 80% less water than conventional field growing and have virtually zero water waste. Here are 3 huge reasons why:

1. Recirculation - we recapture every drop of water that plants don't take up and pump it right back in a closed loop system.
2. Rain Catchment - we capture all of the rain water that falls on our roof. 4 hours of rain = 1 month of free water
3. "Pulse" irrigation - we use a computer system to "pulse" short but numerous watering events based on how much water plants need in real time

 

 

Soil

Soil is where the magic of life begins and is the core of our organic growing practice. We combine modern and traditional techniques to craft a beautiful and rich soil for our crops. We believe that organic soil must:

1. Be rich in microbiological life that fosters soil ecology: protozoa, fungi and bacteria
2. Contain plant and animal matter - both a food source for biology and crop
3. Utilize compost as a source of soil biology and nutrients
