Home Town Farms combines proven vertical farming (growing) technologies in such a way that drastically reduces the amount of water, fuel, fertilizer, packaging and land that traditional farms use to grow the same amount of food. Home Town Farms will virtually eliminate the cost of transporting produce hundreds if not thousands of miles by setting up vertical farms in densely populated areas with direct to consumer sales, on location where the food is grown in addition to wholesale sales to local farmers markets, restaurants and grocery stores. Urban Farming that is economically viable today!

Question: Wouldn't this same vertical technique still be even better on cheap land i.e. out of the city? And that way you could do it on a large scale with many employees --> intensive farming.

then you take 10,000's plus of drivers on welfare

That's a nice video by the way:) would you like to try my method of composting? It's on my channel

good ideas.many can try it

Utopical idea. There is natural way of growing food with support of all natural elements. You cannot recreate them in artificial surrounding. The option is again natural: Get out of cities on land. Research the experience of harmonius life with nature from Sepp Holzer (Google, YouTube). And another thought : the plastic for drinken water is already proved to be toxic. The water you drink from those bottles has also toxic elements. Everything you grow in bottles also will have them. Everything created by nature has own reason and wisdom. You don't need to invent the bycicle. It is already invented!

This would work for tomatoes and other vine plants. but lets be honest this method is extremely unproductive when it comes to things like corn, potatoes, rice, and other staple foods. This is a good idea, but it will not single handedly fix big city food needs. It can help, but it's too impractical for the American people to adopt because we want it now and we want it easy. lol

Seems like a WIN/WIN situation!

60 days before today I woke up with a dream to grow a plant, I spent over 5 hours today planting 70 more(along with tending to the forest in my home) and have over 12 blooming tomatoes, 4 squash, 2 corn and 2 watermelon/cantelope along with loads of lettuce and peppers. I still have a hard time though, you see; it's 2a.m and my mind & body want to plant bamboo, hemp, oak trees and all sorts of wonderful forms of life. I think I have a problem, my backyard still has layers of snow and ice on it. These plants have lured me into their life and make me feign for a better community with a stronger movement. Please help me grow

This is FAKE organic farming, it's not even natural, this is like making test-tube babies.
-
I look forward to see more videos from you! Vertical farming is so cool!

Hi.... can you grow sweet peppers vertically?
-
I for one am sold

Do you use pollinators? Such as having honey bee hives in the green houses? If you have a large enough grow area and captive bees, it might slow down the loss of these insects. Imagine going to the grocery store and seeing the food growing in through the windows with bees and butterflies flying around them. :-)

What about areas that do not get great light in the winter such as the Northern states?
-
that is so true, people are going organic, i grew up in a farm, and now we are changing to organic, and its easier than inorganic, we are using very cheap organic fertilizer, less work but it doubled our produce...
-
It's called EVOLUTION!
-
It's that kind of attitude that keeps our economy from producing things like a car that runs off of water. Who cares money isn't that important. Just live people!!!!

More people want to eat organic, but are they willing to work for it? I am a organic farmer its a lot of work and most people are not willing to go and harvest, dig and water. Permaculture works great the diversity is life giving but as far as feeding New York city I have my doubts. It's a lot of work. Polyculture works on the same principles it's just designed to work with a little more ease of harvest. It still utilizes diversity and soil production without chemicals
