Sustainable microgreen farming
Environmental Commitment

Grown Sustainably

Indoor controlled-environment agriculture is inherently one of the most resource-efficient food production systems in existence. We maximize those advantages with additional sustainability commitments across our entire operation.

The Water Story

Indoor microgreen production uses approximately 93% less water per pound of produce than conventional field-grown vegetables. This is not a minor efficiency gain — it is a fundamental structural difference between controlled-environment and field agriculture.

In field production, the vast majority of applied irrigation water is lost to evaporation, runoff, and soil absorption that never reaches plant roots. In our system, water is applied directly at the root zone of the plant with no runoff and minimal evaporation loss. Every drop is accountable.

Additionally, our reverse osmosis water treatment system eliminates chemical impurities from the water supply, reducing the environmental impact of any discharge while ensuring product safety.

Our Full Sustainability Picture

No-Till Production
Indoor production eliminates the soil disturbance, compaction, and carbon release of conventional tillage. No plowing, no tractor passes, no soil erosion.
LED Energy Efficiency
Commercial LED grow lights consume 60–70% less energy than HPS lighting of equivalent output, and produce zero heat waste that requires additional cooling energy.
Local Distribution
Growing in the Southeast serves Southeast customers — eliminating the truck and air freight miles of California or international greens. Dramatically reduced food miles and packaging waste.
Zero Pesticide
Our controlled indoor environment requires no pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. The substrate, water, and air management eliminate the conditions that require chemical intervention in field production.
Compostable Packaging
We offer compostable packaging formats for accounts that prioritize this. Our standard packaging is fully recyclable. We are working toward 100% packaging sustainability by 2026.
Waste Reduction
Our staggered daily production model eliminates inventory waste. We produce to order — no overproduction, no landfill waste from unsold product. Spent coco coir substrate is composted.
