Elevator Pitch

Modgarden is bringing organic (tiny) vertical farms to within steps of any urbanite, ‘around the corner’ from where they live, with the same principles of organic farms that existed before. Our soil is living, transparently & organically sourced and nutrient correct. Our tinyGroves (commercial product) offers lowered scarcity risk by decentralizing the current soil-to-table value chain significantly for businesses like restaurants and residential towers.
