In Portland, Oregon, a sustainability-minded urban resident adopted our 3-1 indoor hydroponic microgreens system and successfully achieved year-round, efficient cultivation of microgreens in a compact apartment, which gradually developed into a small-scale side business.
The 3-1 hydroponic microgreen system features a compact design, occupying only about one square foot, making it ideal for small indoor spaces such as kitchen corners, windowsills, or balconies. It supports simultaneous cultivation of six trays and comes equipped with full-spectrum LED grow lights and an automatic recirculating water system, creating an energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and low-maintenance growing environment.
As production increased, excess green vegetables were sold to local farmers' markets, community residents, and specialty cafes, and received enthusiastic feedback. The pesticide-free, ultra-fresh, hyper-localized vegetables quickly attracted a loyal clientele. With this hydroponic microgreens system, the customer now earns an additional $200 to $300 per month.
Whether it's growing food for a self-sufficient family, lowering the cost of living, eating healthier, or using indoor farming as a business opportunity, the 3-1 Hydroponic Microgreens System offers an efficient, user-friendly, and scalable growing solution. It's an innovation worth trying for those looking to start sustainable urban farming in limited spaces.
