From the skies, 3 Boys Farm appears so futuristic and spotless--immaculate, even. And that's exactly what our farm is all about: growing vegetables and herbs in a contained, pest-free environment without needing to apply dangerous chemicals to them. Using modern hydroponic and organic technologies and carefully controlled climate zones to maximize outputs of flawless, highly nutritious produce year-round. And doing it all in the greenest way imaginable, using sophisticated rainwater cachement systems and harvesting much of our power from alternative, green-energy sources such as wind and solar.
Let's show you around our sparkling, laboratory-like facilities.
Step this way, into the living rooms of 3 Boys Farm.
Greenhouses redefined: climate-controlled, with filtered rainwater stored alongside.
Support structures for the photovoltaic solar panels we'll be installing.
Inside one of the houses, cucumber vines are already flowering; soon they'll be climbing, too.
Seedlings burst toward the light in special above-ground trays; next they'll be transferred to custom-built hydroponic nutrient channels.
Our first crop: an explosion of fragrant basil. Success!
A closer view of a cucumber plant; they're growing in Dutch bato boxes.
Baby red-leaf lettuce are ready to be transferred to nutrient channels, too.
Tomato plants are just getting started, and so are we. Onward!
