21919 E Rowan Ave, Otis Orchards,  WA  99027

What is Hydroponics?  Hydroponic plants are grown in water instead of soil.  All of the nutrients they need are circulated directly to the roots.  This enables plants to spend less energy on creating root systems and more energy on developing fruits, flowers, and leaves.  
What are the advantages?  We can produce up to 1000 heads of lettuce per week using 25% less space and 90% less water than traditional farming methods.  And we can do this 365 days a year. We’re not depleting soil resources, we use no artificial chemicals as fertilizer or weed control, and there’s nearly zero waste.
