YEARS of indoor farming experience.
YEARS of indoor farming experience.
Fascinating - thanks for posting.
Do you think their awoke end-customers eating their very flavorful and crunchy veggies know they are eating fossil-fueled food? The plants are grown under LED lights which are powered by coal- and natural gas-fueled power plants.
The joke’s on them!

Lef Farms is doing this here in NH.
I would rather buy their lettuce than produce that illegal aliens pick in California. If we move the food production closer to the people that want to buy it, then we do not need illegals workers to pick it. Let the robotics pick it in the green house. This greenhouse facility is in central NH. It is about 80 miles north of Boston.
Greenhouses like this could be located close to all major cities OR in the cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, etc where there are empty old factory buildings sitting there rotting.
I like the idea of indoor farming so cities can provide at least some of their own fresh food instead of pigging out on processed crap that keeps them fat and unhealthy-most of us out here who like organic veggies use greenhouses in the winter months to grow them-indoor farming on a very small scale-I do like seaweed-it is a healthy food and available online or from the Asian market in a nearby town-but I draw the line at meal worms-they are one of the things you feed to tropical fish-so no thanks...
There are NO ECOIL problems from the robots that plant and harvest the lettuce and other produce.
No romaine lettuce recalls from these type of farms.
My wife buys mealy worms all the time.
She feeds them to the Blue Birds.
The Blue Birds hang out all winter at our house.
Interesting.
Healthy food, thanks to coal and nukes.
That’s where the power comes from to fuel those LEDs after all.
I wonder what evil chemical conglomerates supply the nutrients they put in the water...
interesting
we now have so many incurable tomato plant diseases in Colorado that practically the only way to successfully grow tomatoes here is indoors ... i’ve now given up trying to grow tomatoes after my last crop was wiped out by the incurable tomato leave curl virus ...
Everyone and their cousin can grow zucchini by the bushel. Not me. Too many squash borers.
You don’t enjoy the extra protein illegals smear on your veggies?
Find a sunny window and get some LED grow lights and have your own little veggies.
Who needs direct sunlight when you can build a large warehouse, import custom dirt, put solar panels on the roof and convert the sun into electricity and with just a bit of power conversion convert that electricity into what is needed by LEDs.
Direct sunlight is so yesterday.
We used dried bags of meal worms and ALMOST had the eastern blue birds trained to come to our hands. Fun!
i really want to grow lettuce indoors. Doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult.
We have a round flat mesh feeder that hangs right in front of our kitchen window. That way my wife can pour in a cup of worms by just opening the bottom sash. The hanger is about 6’ off the ground.
However, our blue birds are very flighty. When we come up to the sink they fly away immediately. We also have a heated bird bath about 6’ from our glass doors.
Those solar panels don’t require “direct sunlight”?
