Show Notes
Farmers at A and B Indoor Farms in Delaware transform old chickenhouses into hydroponic setups, growing vegetables year-round without soil or pesticides. With a grant from the Physicians Committee, they shift from chicken farming to plant-based crops like lettuce and peppers. The Convert to Crops program aims to promote healthier eating and support family farms. The Owens family, now focusing on plants, is testing their low-cost hydroponic design against a professional system, aiming to provide year-round greens to local schools and markets.
