Why You’ll Love It

Unleash the power of fresh food with this energy-efficient system

This fully self-contained and portable hydroponic growing system is being used by schools, libraries, and other institutions to produce harvest after harvest of nutritious vegetables, herbs, and more!

Besides the nutritious benefits, Flex Farm can also be a versatile hands-on learning tool that’s fun and instantly engaging. Kids grow high-quality, nutritious produce, and the short turnaround time between planting and harvesting really drives home lessons. Fresh crops can be used in school food programs, donated to local food pantries, incorporated into micro-enterprise and fundraising projects, and more.

Requirements
Each Flex Farm requires just one grounded electrical outlet and less than 10 square feet. The best space is temperature controlled (ideally 68–75°F), has a ceiling height of at least 7′, and has an accessible water source (i.e. sink).

Light Assembly Required. You may have to tighten a few bolts or turn a few screws. (less than 15 min)

How It Works
The indoor vertical growing system takes advantage of nature’s design by carefully controlling everything plants need to thrive and optimizing growth while minimizing inputs required. Every Flex Farm comes with a self-contained water system, energy efficient LED light tower, submersible pump, Grower Toolkit, and starter Supply Kit that contains everything you need to start growing, including seeds. Assembly takes less than 15 minutes, and then you simply add water and nutrients, plant your seedlings, and watch the magic happen!

Easy Access to Resources
Your purchase includes free access to Farmative, a digital platform with growing and learning resources to help you have the best growing experience. Farmative includes exclusive grow videos, K–12 lesson plans, activities, and much more.
