Training Services

Our hydroponic farm training is a powerful foundation of success for all vertical and urban farmers!

Our trainings are delivered in 2 parts, classroom time and hands on activities. Included in the training, farmers will be given a full classroom review of everything from plant science to irrigation filter maintenance. Based on the growing equipment and basic food safety standards, we provide farm operations manuals, aggregate and provide all the supplies needed, and customize crop schedules to empower our customers to successfully run a farm from day 1.

Curriculum Modules for Our Agricultural Operations and System Maintenance Training

Most of our clients register for the 3 day comprehensive training course which must be in person either at one of our training locations or at your farm. Our trainings are comprised of both classroom and hands on time. Our methodology is highly engaging and interactive, with reviews and test to ensure each participant not only receives the agricultural and systems knowledge, but also retains the information through repetitive drills in workflow.

We also offer shorter and more targeted training for clients who are unable to join us in person, or are looking for a refresher on something specific. You may hand pick which topics you want to cover. Reach out to us to get more detailed description on what is covered in each of these modules.
