In late 2016 we started growing our own microgreens and salad mixes indoors. We had so much fun learning new methods of growing different species of plants that our dining room had started to become a greenhouse and we had way more produce that we could eat between the two of us. This year (2017) we have started to begin expanding / formalizing our indoor growing area as well as learning about mor
e plants. While sunflower micros are awesome... you can only eat them with every meal so long :-)
Currently we're getting ready to start sprouting for our gardens outside starting with a huge batch of lavender, followed by another batch of peppers, tomatoes, squash, eggplant, and a few others. Even more exciting, when we finish that, the rack will be converted into a nutrient film aquaponic system for indoor lettuce, spinach, kale, and chard. Right now we want to see how much of our own food we can produce, as well as try to develop a steady enough system to supply some local restaurants with some portion of their produce. We've even been looking into the organic certification process for down the road. Then people started asking about it when we didn't, so we figured our little micro farm deserved it's own page. So here you have it!
