FreshBox Farms’ sustainable indoor growing enclosures use no soil, very little water, a rigorously-tested nutrient mix and LED lighting to produce the freshest, cleanest, tastiest produce possible. Unlike lettuce and other produce that are frozen and spend weeks being transported to local stores, FreshBox Farms’ greens are harvested, packaged, and shipped within hours to local grocers.
All FreshBox Farms products are kosher and non-GMO certified, grown without pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. The greens are also GAP (Good Agricultural Practices)-certified by the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources, which identifies locally sourced products grown, harvested and processed in using practices that are safe, sustainable and don’t harm the environment.
