Safety First
Be aware that the Flex Farm uses water and electricity, so there is a risk of electric shock if
instructions are not followed carefully. Also, some of the materials used are caustic and should
be kept out of the reach of children.
Your Flex Farm is equipped with safety features. Its in-line GFCI protection ensures that if
water ever meets the light tower, no one will get hurt. The water tank is designed to prevent
leaks and protect your floor.
We recommend using food safety gloves when handling plants. If you touch anything other
than plants with the gloves, you should re-glove before handling plants again.
Visit the Fork Farms website
(www.forkfarms.com/growing-resources/) for commercial food
safety tools and resources. Fork Farms recommends following standard food safety practices
to farms of all sizes.
