New Jersey indoor farm can grow plants all year long while using 95% less water than outdoor farms, with no pesticides at all

There’s something special about a new farm in Kearny, New Jersey. Headed by a former techie turned farmer, Bowery Farming is uniquely poised to serve as the blueprint for future farms with a focus on sustainability and reliability. More specifically, by applying clever new methods, the CEO and founder of Bowery Farming, Irving Fain, has created what might well be the most productive land-based farm in existence.

Technically an indoor farm, Bowery Farming is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. It doesn’t require the use of huge tracts of land and uses less than water than practically every other farm out on the planet. And yet its founder says it’s able to grow 365 days each year, regardless of any outside factors. It’s a serious operation that shows how well a system can work if prepared with proper planning and executed as well as possible.
