The Mustard Seed Tower Farms aeroponic growing process will produce up to 30% greater yields 3x faster compared to traditional farming methods. For most herbs and leafy greens, the seedling to harvest cycle can be as short as 21 days.
At the Mustard Seed, we reduce food transportation time. That means your produce retains peak freshness and flavor. Plus, aeroponic methods actually increase the nutrient density of some crops, such as kale, tomatoes, and squash.
A single Tower Farms unit takes up less than 6 sq ft. and uses stackable sections that can hold four plants each. (So, an 11 section-tall unit accommodates 44 plants.) That means you can produce up to 10x more food than a conventional farm of the same size — without paying for extra land.
For soil-based farmers, a change in weather can be the difference between a record harvest and a debilitating season. But with Tower Farms, you never have to worry about droughts or floods. And if you grow indoors or in a greenhouse, you can even control temperature, light, humidity, and other variables to consistently produce predictable yields, regardless of the weather.
With closed-loop technology, The Mustard Seed Tower Farms systems recycle water and nutrients. In turn, they use up to 95% less water than conventional farms, which is especially critical for those growing in drought-stricken regions.
Many hydroponic farming systems limit what you can grow. But Tower Farms supports more than 150 different plants — from delicate herbs and greens to hearty fruiting crops, such as tomatoes and squash. As a result, you can adapt your crop selection strategy on the fly to meet market demand.
Unlike most white plastics used in agriculture — which degrade with time and solar radiation — the FDA food grade-compliant, UV-stabilized plastic we use is designed to survive decades. So you can focus on farming, not replacing equipment every season.
By growing crops off the ground, you reduce the risk of soil-borne pests and plant diseases. And since each tower grows independently, you can isolate and address any issues that do arise without jeopardizing your entire farm (unlike many hydroponic systems, which connect growing units to a common reservoir — allowing problems to spread and wipe out a farm overnight).
If you’re looking for a sustainable and profitable investment opportunity, vertical aeroponic farming is the way to go. Not only does it have a diverse range of crops that are able to flourish in the system, but it also offers investors the flexibility they need to stay ahead of market trends. From leafy greens like lettuce and kale to delicious fruits like strawberries and watermelon, vertical aeroponics offers a wide variety of crops that ensure a diverse portfolio. As an investor, you’ll want to minimize your risks, and what better way to do that than with a system that can grow multiple crops with ease?
