Our MissionTo be the leader in providing high quality locally grown organic food to the people of the city. To use the most efficient methods and modern technology to save natural resources, eliminate waste and inefficiencies.

About Home Town Farms®The vision for Home Town Farms® grew out of a concern about the lack of nutritious food in this country and the enormous amount of water, fuel and other natural resources used to grow it.Our approach is simple but powerful.After years of research all over the globe, we discovered there were highly efficient growing systems already being used on large scale farms in other parts of the world that could be scaled down for use in urban areas. Home Town Farms® adapted these proven technologies and by bringing them to densely populated U.S. cities and urban areas we are able to grow and sell affordable, locally grown, nutritious, and great tasting produce where the demand is greatest.Home Town Farm’s® approach is perfect for urban environments because our flexible growing technology allows us to grow and sell produce directly to local businesses and families in any community. Our farms can be set up on parking lots, rooftops, open land or any unused space. The savings are passed on to the consumer, allowing everyone to afford locally grown, high quality vegetables and berries.Home Town Farms® is part of and supports the growing community garden, local farming and farm to table movement. Our mission is to help increase the availability of locally grown fruits and vegetables. Home Town Farms® is committed to bringing this new vertical organic urban farming business to the United States. Please join us in making this happen.Benefits to the CommunityHome Town Farms’® farming methods offer many benefits to the communities we serve:

Home Town Farms delivers Mother Nature’s finest directly to youHome Town Farms invites Mother Nature into our greenhouse to ensure

you get the best tasting locally grown, vine ripened organic produce. We

allow our fruits and vegetables to vine ripen in order to be full of flavor as

well as all the vital nutrients our bodies need to stay healthy and active.

Our grower, Mike Castro believes that Mother Nature has perfected the

best way to grow the best tasting most nutritious vegetables and berries.

Our plants are grown in a sustainable organic growing medium where we

create an ecosystem that makes nutrients available to the plant like in

Nature. The plants thrive because they receive the nutrients the way

Mother Nature intended. Bees are used to pollenate our greenhouse

plants and beneficial insects eliminate unwanted pests that attack our

vegetable and berry plants. We provide great tasting very nutritious

produce from happy plants.
