About Lettuce Grow
Founded by Jacob Pechenik and Zooey Deschanel, Lettuce Grow is on a mission to bring much-needed change to our food system and help people use fewer resources by growing healthier food at home. Lettuce Grow's self-watering, self-fertilizing hydroponic Farmstands are vertical vegetable gardens made from ocean-bound recycled plastic that make it easy and fun for everyone to grow fresh food, no matter their gardening knowledge or background. Lettuce Grow’s Farmstands provide a serious harvest while remaining accessible to the modern, busy lifestyle — finally making “grow your own” a viable path forward to a better food future for all.
How It Works
Lettuce Grow customers choose from one of five sizes of self-watering, self-fertilizing Farmstands at LettuceGrow.com. It’s a soilless hydroponic system that delivers the right amount of water and nutrients to the plants at the right times, helping people with some of the most challenging parts of growing.
Customers can select a Nutrients Pack and a full set of seedlings to kick things off. Once you’ve planted the seedlings in your Farmstand and after spending only about 5 minutes on “farming” duties each week for 2-3 weeks, you’ll have the freshest veggies and greens imaginable, ready to eat. After your first harvest, we stay in touch to help you select new seedlings from over 200 varieties of greens, veggies, fruits and herbs. Lettuce Grow also has a companion iOS app to help you every step of the way. You can scan plants on your Farmstand to see what you're growing, get advice on when to harvest, and more.
