Green Wolf Vertical Farm uses a closed-loop hydroponic vertical tower system. Intensive greenhouse management is used to greatly reduce environmental waste as opposed to conventional soil farming. They have vertical towers that are an intense growing system that can produce in 100 square feet what traditional farming produces in 400 square feet. They have microgreens that can last longer. "With the microgreens, nobody sells them live here. They're all cut. And they don't last very long. Where with mine, they last seven to ten days. Its fresher, it tastes better. I had one [customer] tell me that 'I never knew lettuce had a flavor until I bought yours.'" Check out their Facebook page for updates about their farm. They haven't updated their CSA page since December 2016, contact them directly for more information.
