A hydroponic VF in Irvine is ‘a playground for chefs’
Added on 06 December 2022
Owners Malaia Martinez, and Jaebin Yoo, both 22, say that their farm yields nearly 400 pounds of organic produce a week. It’s 90% more water efficient than traditional farms and uses significantly less space. In just two years, the duo have cultivated a group of chefs who enlist them to provide grown-to-order organic specialty produce.
