The Leafy Green Machine is a powerful tool that enables our customers to grow fresh food in any climate. Unlike traditional farming, the LGM requires only about twenty hours of labor per week to grow the same amount of food that you could produce on two acres of farmland inside a 320 square foot shipping container. The LGM also eliminates a lot of the risk and weather variability that traditional farmers face such as having not enough, or too much water and sunlight.

• Our hydroponic growing system provides a constant supply of nutrient-rich water that helps plants grow more consistently, using 90% less water than traditional agriculture.

• The LED light strips will give your crops light from only the part of the spectrum that they need for photosynthesis, reducing energy waste.

Automating the Farming Experience

Climate sensors inside the LGM to automatically adjust components and maintain the ideal growing environment. The farmhand mobile application acts like an employee in your pocket, allowing farmers to monitor, control and track various components in the farm, access our online knowledge-base, and even restock on items like seeds and nutrients. 

Before you get growing, it's important to understand the technology behind the LGM's various systems. Andrew from our Sales and Support team goes over the basics of the Leafy Green Machine, from how the climate automation system functions to the lifecycle of crops.
