GreenReach Q & A

Q: Are you a farm? This is the most unusual farm I have ever seen!
A: Absolutely! Thank you for noticing. At GreenReach, we’re redefining what a farm can be. Traditional farms often bring to mind wide-open fields and soil, but at its heart, farming is about nurturing food to support families and communities. Our approach is innovative, but we’re equally devoted to cultivation and sustainable food production.

Q: How can you grow without dirt?
A: Great question! While many think of “dirt” and “soil” as the same, they’re different—soil is full of life, while dirt is just the medium. At GreenReach, we skip the dirt but keep the life! We grow our crops in a carefully controlled environment using purified water enriched with essential nutrients and micronutrients. This ensures each fruit and vegetable is healthy, delicious, and consistent in quality.

Q: Do you offer certified organic fruits and vegetables?
A: The term “organic” traditionally refers to soil-based farming that avoids synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilisers. Our approach aligns with the same values of sustainability and healthy farming, but without soil. While we may not carry the “certified organic” label, our commitment to clean, responsible farming is unwavering.

Q: Do you use pesticides or herbicides?
A: No. Our controlled environment means we don’t need pesticides or herbicides. By maintaining pristine growing conditions, we naturally keep pests and weeds at bay. That’s one of the key benefits of hydroponic farming—no need for harsh chemicals, just healthy plants.

Q: What is safer: non-organic, organic, or hydroponic produce?
A: Safety in agriculture can vary depending on practices. At GreenReach, we take pride in our hydroponic methods, which avoid the need for chemical treatments and reduce exposure to common pests and pathogens. Our produce is grown in a clean, controlled environment—safe, delicious, and always fresh.

Q: Do hydroponic fruits and vegetables taste better than field-grown vegetables?
A: Taste is always subjective, but hydroponics lets us focus on maximising flavour, texture, and nutrition. Without the variability of soil and climate, we can consistently produce vibrant, tasty produce, often with unique varieties that stand out. Our customers regularly tell us they love the fresh, delicious results.

Q: Do you grow seasonal vegetables?
A: Yes! While our technology allows us to grow a wide variety of crops year-round, we celebrate the seasons and local flavours. Our flexible crop rotation means we can offer unique produce throughout the year—perfect for seasonal dishes, special events, or just adding variety to your plate.

Q: Is indoor farming environmentally friendly?
A: Definitely. Indoor farming is a sustainable choice. We use far less water than traditional farms, eliminate the need for soil, reduce land use, and avoid harsh chemicals. Plus, by locating farms closer to consumers, we cut down on transportation and lower our carbon footprint. That means fresher produce with a smaller environmental impact—a win-win for both people and the planet.
