Baltimore, Maryland - June 23, 2016: A tray of opal basil in City-Hydro's vertical farm, located in a spare bedroom of Larry and Zhanna Hount's Baltimore rowhome.

City-Hydro owners Larry and Zhanna Hount started growing microgreens in a spare room in their Baltimore rowhome a year and a half ago. Since then, their vertical farm has earned them $120k a year. They sell their crop directly to local restaurants, but, "What we want to be at the end of the game is a supplier..." says Larry. The couple sell their custom made racks, which use daylight balanced LED lights and offer training.
