Are you looking for a new business venture and also like the idea of organic, sustainable urban farming? The Local Farmer makes use of a franchise model that is ready to expand into new neighbourhoods and we would love to have you on board!
We are dedicated to sustainable urban farming and as such, we have put a lot of effort into designing our systems so that they are easy to manage and small enough to fit just about anywhere. Our Mighty Grow Machines – a hydroponic system with UV lights and timers – can be installed in just about any room on your property. Turn a spare garage into a verdant paradise, or make use of that unused corner in your office space. All you need is electricity and patience and the grow machine will pretty much take care of the rest. We even prepack the seed trays, ready to go into your machine. We weren’t kidding about it being easy to manage!
We want you to rather focus on growing the right microgreens for your community and marketing them locally. Maybe a nearby restaurant is partial to bok choy, or the area has a healthy demand for wheatgrass? We have a wide variety of microgreens to choose from, ready to improve the taste of a dish or add some nutrients to a smoothie.
Put that extra space in your building to work for you, and create your own green empire of healthy eating. In providing for your local community you will make money while also improving the lives of those around you with organic, sustainable produce. Our dream is to push back against food scarcity and create more places where people eat healthy whole foods.
If any of that sounds good to you, maybe you are our next Farmer Jo? If you want to take the next step, we are keen to guide you on this journey towards environmentally-friendly farming. We will provide you with training in the various facets of the business, from using the Mighty Grow Machine right through to sales and time management.
