INTRODUCTION AND SAFETY

with people and communities to make 

the process of producing healthy food 

accessible to the world. 
We believe that when people have the 

right tools and knowledge, they will feel 

empowered, happier and healthier.

movement to close the gap between 

people and the nourishment they 

depend on. 

Fresh food awaits!

Understand Your Flex Farm 

Your Flex Farm is a fully self-contained, indoor hydroponic growing system. Hydroponics is the 
practice of growing without soil. Instead, you add nutrients directly to the water supply to feed 
the plants. As water runs down the panels to wet the roots, the plants will pull the nutrients 
right from the water.
