Spring leaves are almost in full bloom. Summer kisses are yet to blossom the winter frost is vastly
behind us. What a beautiful presentation of the cycle of life the four seasons. Spring is my favorite time of year, so much to look forward to. So much is revealing with the full
pluming foliage, we don’t see what’s really be-hide the scenery.
Springs brings to light what we normally don’t see every day. Which brings me to an interesting subject
matter called turgor pressure. Hypotonic in concept for those who are really on board with this
Turgor pressure a topic I studied more than twenty-five years ago or more were water wants to go from
area of low concentration of substance to an area of high concentration of substance.
Meaning water wants to go where there is less water and more substance to balance the amount of
water. The palm tree is a prime example of this happening. Since there is a low concentration of
substance inside and high on the outside, the water will travel outside, causing the cell to shrivel up or
stretch. In the hypotonic cell. There are certain palm trees being used in New Orleans I notice while
watching. the news during all of their bad weather condition to battle high level of water concentration.
Call to action find a local tree conservationist and donate, Volunteer, or just buy a native tree in your
area and plant one. Mother nature is on our side we must take care of her.

Hat City Farms: Fresh, Local, Tasty Produce

What we do & how we do it:

Hat City Farms delivers produce that tastes and looks great, is healthier than organic, and is better for the environment than anything else you can buy. We use cutting-edge hydroponic technology to deliver a superior product at a competitive price.

Our indoor hydroponic farm in Danbury grows the popular herbs and leafy greens that make your fresh-cooked dishes look and taste great. Because we’re local, we harvest before dawn and have our produce at your restaurant or local store just a few hours later. The only way you can get anything fresher is to grow it yourself.

Because we use hydroponics, we grow year-round and we harvest every day. You get the same variety of each herb in the winter as you do in the summer. This keeps the taste of your signature dishes exactly the way you like them.

What you get when you buy Hat City Farms produce:

Fresh: Our produce is harvested just hours before it reaches your store or restaurant. Hat City Farms products spend minutes, not days or weeks, in transit. That keeps the natural flavor locked in. And because there’s less handling, our produce looks better when it reaches you, so you’ll be proud to serve it.

Tasty: Conventional and organic growers often compromise on flavor to minimize costly waste on the long journey to you – produce often comes from other regions of the US or even from Central or South America. To survive the journey, farmers grow thick-skinned varieties that sacrifice flavor you want for damage resistance and for ease of picking using automatic equipment. We’ve all complained of immense, bland strawberries and rigid, tasteless tomatoes. Hat City Farms grows heirloom and gourmet varieties that you’d want to grow in your own garden. And we prevent damage by picking and packaging everything by hand, then cutting the amount of handling once your food leaves its home at our facility.

Healthy: We deliver all the benefits of organic produce without the drawbacks. Like organic, we never use chemicals to prevent bugs or w**ds. And we don’t use genetically modified seeds. All of those techniques are designed to increase pest resistance. But in our controlled environment, pests can’t get to the crops, so we don’t have to make them bug-resistant using artificial means. And unlike organic, our produce looks fresh, healthy and inviting, not droopy and shopworn like some organic varieties do.

Environmentally friendly: Because we grow locally, our produce travels a handful of miles. We use a tiny fraction of the fuel to get our products to you compared to other companies that bring grapes from Argentina, basil from Chile, tomatoes from Mexico and lettuce from the Salinas Valley in California. Hydroponic technology recirculates nutrient solution with 100% efficiency; there’s no fertilizer runoff to choke waterways and kill fish as there is with field-grown crops.

Perhaps the most important benefit of our hydroponic technology is the near-elimination of food waste. Depending on the crop, 30% to 50% of sprouted seeds for herbs or vegetables never make it to market. Crop losses can come from drought/flooding, an increasing problem in the climate change era, from bugs, from loss in transit or spoilage if it rests too long on the way to your restaurant or store. Our hydroponic technology plus our continuous inspection of our crops means that over 98% of the seeds we sprout make it to consumers; the tiny amount that fails visual inspection gets composted. Better for the environment, and cheaper for customers, who aren’t paying for growing twice the product they actually receive.

Impeccably safe: In the wake of frequent national recalls of contaminated produce, consumers are worried about the safety of the food they buy. Hat City’s technology sidesteps all major risks for food contamination. We grow in a controlled clean room-like environment with filtered water and air, reducing the risk of pest or w**d contamination to nearly zero. We thus never have to use chemicals. Our farmers wear protective coverings whenever in growing areas, eliminating risk of human contamination. Complying with leading-edge industry best practices for food safety is effortless.

Energy efficient: While we use electricity to grow our product indoors, the amount of fossil fuel to generate that electricity is less than the fuel cost of trucking crops thousands of miles to market plus the energy used in refining the tons of ammonium nitrate fertilizer wasted in conventional farming. The next generation of our facility will exclusively use renewable sources to generate the electricity we need.
