Living Earth Farm is all about sustainability, flavor, and nutrition. In the heart of the city of Toronto, the vertical farm grows premium quality microgreens indoors year-round.
The growing process blends traditional organic farming practices with cutting-edge technology, creating a perfect environment for the plants. While organic seeds, soil, and fertilizers get the crops going, the microgreens are grown in a climate-controlled facility equipped with LED horticultural lighting.
It takes anywhere between 9 and 15 days for the greens to reach maturity; after harvest, they’re packaged and delivered within 24 hours. Living Earth Farm packages its products in clamshells made from recycled water bottles! Its indoor growing method also uses 95% less water than conventional outdoor farms and renewable electricity.
It sounds like working there is a treat too; Living Earth has a smoothie bar, so its staff can make unlimited juices with its microgreens. Cheers to that!
