Cultivate Learning & Unleash the Power of Fresh Food
with the Flex Farm Hydroponic Growing System

Sprouting Student Interest in Cross-Curricular Topics

Inspiring the Next Generation

The Flex Farm is an engaging cross-curricular learning tool that takes a different approach than other STEM and health-oriented applications. Fresh, student-grown crops can be used in school food programs, donated to local food pantries, and incorporated into micro-enterprise and fundraising projects.

A Growing Experience

While students learn to grow high-quality, nutritious produce, you’ll have access to farmative, a digital platform with growing resources and collaborative tools. Included for free with the Flex Farm, farmative offers lesson plans and activity guides, tools to interact with other educa­tors to get teaching inspiration, grow guides and videos, and the ability to purchase additional supplies.

What is a Flex Farm?

At first glance, the Flex Farm Hydroponic Growing System is a fully self-contained, portable, hygienic, and cost-effective way to grow fresh food in environments where there isn’t the space or time to grow food outdoors. But, educators across the country are also finding that it’s an interactive learning tool that produces engaged learners along with harvest after harvest of nutritious food.

How does it work?

The indoor vertical growing system carefully controls everything plants need to thrive and optimizes growth while minimizing inputs required. Every Flex Farm comes with a self-contained water system, energy-efficient LED light tower, submersible pump, Grower Toolkit, and starter Supply Kit that contains everything you need to start growing.

Assembly takes less than 15 minutes. Once it’s put together, you can simply add water and nutrients, plant seedlings, and watch the magic happen. The Flex Farm can produce up to 3,400 plants annually, requires less than three hours of maintenance per month, and costs less than $1.00 per pound to operate.
