Meet St. Pete's Brick Street Farms 4-3-24 Jordan Kalajian

RadioStPete INSIDER correspondent Jordan Kalajian toured Brick Farms in downtown St. Pete, a hydroponic farm whose organic produce is in great demand. Just in time for April's celebration of Earth Day (April 20), it's one of downtown St. Pete's sustainable businesses. You can even tour the gardens with owner Shannon O'Malley. Jordan chatted with Alicia Geigel about Brick Farms. The tour begins with an introduction to the concept of vertical farming and its impact on sustainable agriculture. You'll learn how we've maximized space by stacking layers of crops inside shipping containers, utilizing innovative hydroponic systems, and optimizing LED lighting to simulate ideal growing conditions regardless of the external environment.
Stroll through rows of vibrant leafy greens and striking micro green varieties, all thriving in this controlled indoor environment. Shannon will share insights into the careful monitoring of plant growth, from seedling to harvest, and the precise balance of nutrients and water conservation technologies for sustainable farming. You can order in advance or become a member as well. Visit https://brickstreetfarms.com/ and check out the events.
