When we were thinking about building this proto-company, it was actually a question about what our next home would look like. We eventually settled on building a home somewhere with a decent amount of land, but then, what do we do with that land? A few folks in this area that have large lots rent that land to the farmers, but couldn't we do something with it that blends our profession and our love of tea?
This brought us to the idea of building a hydroponic farm, with automation systems in place to monitor and even harvest the plants we grow. We're pretty far from that goal at the moment, but it is the long-term vision of where we want to take this. And even kid #1 got into it and did a hydroponic farming activity at a local middle school, bringing home her first hydroponic plant (pictured above)!
Not now, but hopefully soon.
