Baltimore, Maryland - June 23, 2016: City-Hydro uses Baltimore City water filtered through a 3 stage filtration system -- gravel, sand and charcoal -- maintaining a 6.0 ph balance. It only takes 5 gallons to water the entire room twice a day.

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.
