How does the microFARM hydroponic system work?

Grow Smarter with the Automated Hydroponic Tower

Fresh, Homegrown Food — No Guesswork

Our automated hydroponic system makes growing vibrant greens at home easier than ever. With full smart control via your phone, you'll have fresh harvests right at your fingertips—faster than traditional gardening and with a fraction of the space and water to traditional gardening.

Precision Automation, Full Control

The heart of the system is a smart timer that connects to the KASA app on your phone. Automate your:

  • Water pump
  • Lighting system
  • Air stone for oxygenation
  • Fan for air circulation

Give your plants exactly what they need, when they need it—resulting in rapid, healthy growth.

From App to Harvest

Using the smart app, you can create custom schedules for each plant requirement.  So, essentially, you control the weather and you can make a perfect environment that your plants will thrive in. Whether it's basil, wheatgrass, or Rambo radish microgreens, you'll see results fast—some within just 5 days.

Grow More with Less: Water-Efficient by Design

Our hydroponic tower uses a fraction of the water compared to traditional soil farming. While most outdoor irrigation is lost to ground absorption or evaporation, this closed system delivers water directly to plant roots—reducing waste and improving efficiency.

Just a few gallons a week

The reservoir typically needs only a few gallons of water per week (depending on how many levels you have). The system recirculates water through timed cycles, ensuring plants get consistent hydration and nutrients, without oversaturation or waste.

Run on pennies a day in Electricity

With your smart app installed, you can track the electricity costs to run the tower. The average for a 3-tower system is about $4/month, or around $50/year to run. 

Stronger Roots, Healthier Plants

This bottom-watering approach encourages deep root growth while keeping foliage dry—preventing mold, pests, and disease. It’s a smarter, cleaner way to grow indoors.

Set up in under an hour

This tower ships in 3 boxes with clear instructions, and with the plumbing pre-measured and connected for you, your setup will be a breeze.

Grow More Than Greens—Grow Freedom

From peppery radish to lush basil, you're now in control of your food. Make fresh salads, green dressings, wheatgrass shots, and more—all with produce grown just steps from your kitchen. Check out our Recipes page for lots of great ideas!
