Their reputation and expertise have truly set them apart."

The Challenge

Leafy Green Farms, a leading hydroponic farming business, faced challenges scaling its operations. Owner Brad Fourby was concerned about risks when working with independent sellers, particularly around seller backouts and potential fraud. He needed a reliable partner to help manage these risks and provide insights into hydroponic market trends and pricing.

The Solution

Brad chose to partner with us due to our reputable hydroponic marketplace and strong presence in the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) industry. Our escrow service acted as a trusted intermediary, reducing the risks associated with transactions. Additionally, our in-depth knowledge of the hydroponic farming market—including sales history and price trends—helped Brad make informed decisions that supported his long-term business growth.

The Results

  • 12 Hydroponic Farms in Operation: With our support, Leafy Green Farms expanded to operate 12 hydroponic container farms.

  • Farm to School Program Success: The Farm to School program has flourished, with 10 schools directly benefiting from fresh, locally grown produce and innovative educational opportunities through Leafy Green Farms.

  • Actionable Market Insights: Our data on hydroponic farming market trends helped Brad better understand the current market, allowing him to make strategic, data-driven decisions for his farm operations.

Conclusion

By working with us, Leafy Green Farms has not only scaled its hydroponic farming operations but also strengthened its community impact through programs like Farm to School. Brad appreciates the transparency, expertise, and reliability we provide, which have empowered him to grow Leafy Green Farms with confidence in the highly competitive hydroponic farming market.
