Think about it... without plants we all die! Only plants know how to convert the sun's energy into an energy form that feeds us and other animals.

     Through erosion and poor farming practices, most soil has no microbial life or nutrients left in it. Then we have erratic weather that makes each season a gamble.

     Hydroponics is a controlled environment growing system. Although it appears to use more energy than field planting, it doesn't. Hydroponics uses only 5% of a normal garden's water, and supplies nutrients directly to the roots, including trace minerals.

     The temperature, humidity, light levels and even the amount of carbon dioxide is optimized to allow plants to fully realize their potential. The results are phenomenal. Vibrant, delicious, nutrient-rich produce in abundance.

     Earth Song is consulting with Crop King of Wadsworth (the worldwide hydroponics systems leader) for our greenhouse expertise. We hope to develop not only a highly productive 10,000 sq. ft. facility, but also an ongoing research site, working to increase the nutritional content of the produce and reduce energy costs of running the greenhouse. The greenhouse is split into 2 zones, one for cool crops such as lettuce and herbs, and a warm zone for tomatoes and cucumbers.

     The prolific production provides the primary income to run Earth Song Discovery Farm.... and we get the best salads year 'round!
