We recognized that vegetables often travel long distances before reaching consumers, resulting in reduced freshness. Additionally, traditional farming methods frequently rely on pesticides and consume large amounts of water. We created a solution to these issues through innovative hydroponic farming, offering fresh, locally grown produce that’s sustainable and eco-friendly.
Our journey began with the ambitious dreams of two migrants who envisioned a future where fresh, locally-grown produce would be accessible to all residents, regardless of the island’s rugged terrain and harsh winters.
Recognizing the challenges posed by importing greens and herbs from thousands of kilometers away, which diminishes their nutritional value and freshness, we set out to redefine what fresh produce means. At InnovaNL Farms, we use innovative hydroponic farming techniques to cultivate premium-quality vegetables that are just minutes away from consumers – freshly harvested and delivered straight to the table.
Our commitment to environmental sustainability is at the core of our operations. By employing cutting-edge technology, we conserve water and energy while maximizing efficiency. Advanced sensors monitor temperature, pH, and EC levels, automatically adjusting to optimize growing conditions and minimize resource usage.
Engaging with our local community is a top priority. As a proud member of the Canadian Hydroponics Association, we collaborate on initiatives to promote food security and sustainability. Through educational programs and partnerships with schools and community organizations, we empower individuals to make informed choices about their food and health.
Driven by a passion for sustainability and community empowerment, our founders explored innovative agricultural practices that could thrive in Newfoundland’s unique climate. Their journey led them to hydroponic farming, which has the potential to revolutionize local agriculture and ensure food security for the island.
From humble beginnings, InnovaNL Farms quickly gained recognition for its dedication to sustainability, quality, and community engagement. Our farm has become a beacon of innovation and inspiration, fostering a stronger sense of food security and healthier lifestyles for residents.
Today, we continue to uphold the legacy of our founders, cultivating a future where access to nutritious, locally-grown greens is a fundamental right for all. With each leaf harvested and every seed planted, InnovaNL Farms remains committed to fostering a healthier, happier, and more sustainable future for Newfoundland and Labrador.
