Hydroponics Flex Farms at FCHS

Franklin County High School's hydroponics system have produced three locally grown harvests, providing fresh lettuce to the salad bar! Vonda Bradford, Director of Nutrition for the district, states "this project not only brings fresh, nutritious produce to our students' plates but also teaches them the value of sustainable agriculture right in our district!" They can't wait to incorporate these homegrown goodies into our school meals, giving our students the freshest, healthiest options available. Stay tuned for updates on how they're bringing farm-to-table straight to our schools!

About the Flex Farm:

It is a mobile indoor vertical hydroponic system. By mimicking nature's design, Flex Farms grow food faster, in less space, and with less water and electricity than traditional agriculture. The Flex Farm requires only a standard electrical outlet and about 9 square feet of space to grow leafy greens, herbs, strawberries, cucumbers, peppers and more year-round in any climate.
