In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran talk indoor gardening with an expert on the subject.
Gardening: Did you Know?
Did you know that more than 50% of the food grown in this country goes to waste? It feeds the bottom of trash cans, instead of feeding the millions of Americans that rarely get to taste freshly grown foods.
LettuceGrow saw the problem and set out to help the average American – even city dwellers – start their own mini farms. It is all done simply, conveniently, and takes up very little space, thanks to the Farmstand.
Meeting an Indoor Gardening Guru
For this episode, River and Terran met with LettuceGrow’s co-founder, Jacob Pechenik, so we can learn more about LettuceGrow’s take on sustainable food.
Jacob is a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a longtime farming and gardening enthusiast. He’s founded or co-founded multiple brands devoted to solving problems related to food, addressing issues such as logistics, waste, chemical use, and more.
After growing all of these fantastic veggies, we had to prepare something for the family. The following is the recipe we used. Check out our social media accounts for bonus footage of us prepping the lettuce wraps.
