The Future of Farming

CHIEF is the Victory Garden for the 21st Century!

C.H.I.E.F. stands for Compact, Hydroponic, Indoor, Efficient, Farming.

We are passionate about people – especially the next generation. The CHIEF system is a teaching tool that gives people hands-on experience with producing vegetables and microgreens indoors and year-round. Each CHIEF Classroom system can produce up to 20 harvest per year -- all with no soil, no sun, no pesticides and 97% less water than traditional farming.

CHIEF is a powerful tool that allows families and organizations to stretch their food dollars. CHIEF produces fresh food for up to 90% less than grocery store prices. One of our latest nonprofit projects is a solar-powered water pump and CHIEF system for people living in Malawi in Southeast Africa. CHIEF will allow an entire village to produce foods they were never able to grow in the arid soil.

Most people don’t know how beneficial microgreens can be in their diet. Cruciferous vegetables like Baby Broccoli are rich in sulforaphane, a compound that has antioxidant properties and can help protect the body against cancer. Studies show that consuming just a small serving twice a week improves digestion and promotes healthy weight loss.

History has shown us that grocery stores will not always have food on their shelves, so people need to be more self-reliant. The Great Depression of the 1930s resulted in widespread food shortages and malnutrition that lasted for several years. Natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina in 2005, illustrate how long-lasting supply chain issues can take years to correct.

During World War II, our grandparents started growing "Victory Gardens" to produce most of the fresh food consumed by American families.

Parents and educators love the CHIEF system -- it's an excellent teaching tool that promotes self-sufficiency, follow-thru, and accomplishment. Many students admit that they enjoyed growing their own food and felt a real sense of accomplishment for the first time.

It is wonderful when people see how easy it is to grow fresh food for their families and perhaps sell extra food at farmers’ markets. Every time there is CHIEF workshop, there is at least 1 or 2 people in the group who are motivated to start a fresh food business.
