The Hydroponic Farmstand Grows Farm-Fresh Produce at Home

— May 2, 2020 — Lifestyle
The Farmstand by Lettuce Grow is a compact system that has the potential to be used to grow over 200 different kinds of fruits, vegetables and herbs. Best of all, the low-maintenance system is self-watering and self-fertilizing, so that it requires only a fraction of the time, space and effort of traditional gardening systems. Lettuce Grow, founded by Jacob Pechenik and Zooey Deschanel, is available in five different sizes and pairs a tiered column with a water pump and a timer, so that care of the plants can be automated.

The hydroponic system promises to be particularly appealing at a time when many people are doubling down on their home gardens, especially when it comes to growing their own produce.
