Testimonial

"Working with this team has been a game-changer for Leafy Green Farms. Our decision to collaborate was driven by their strong online presence and industry knowledge. Having iGrow Pre-Owned as a buffer between buyer and seller significantly reduced our worry about investing in secondhand equipment. The insights we've gained from their data on market trends and pricing have been invaluable to our business strategy. With their help, we've expanded to 12 operational farms and have seen tremendous success with our Farm to School program, directly benefiting 10 schools. iGrow Pre-Owned can cater to anyone at any level, whether they're novices or experienced growers. 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.

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.
