Hi! We're Brandon and Ryota. We started in 2020 as urban farmers, creating indoor farming systems for Singaporeans. Now, we've grown into a hydroponics farm that hosts workshops to teach Singaporeans about sustainability and urban farming's role in Singapore's future. Plus, we reduce plastic waste, use eco-friendly tools, and donate veggies to families who need them.
