Future Growing LLC — Our Purpose:

• Produce healthy plants.
• Produce healthy food for people.
• Produce food in a “green” or sustainable growing system.

To achieve the first goal, we designed a water based growing system that created its own highly oxygenated environment for the plant roots. Modern research has shown that increased oxygen to the root system helps to prevent disease and improves plant growth. Concerned with outside contaminants in today’s food, we chose to build the Tower Garden™ with a better quality USDA approved food grade plastic.

To achieve the first and second goal of producing healthy plants and healthy food for people, we also had to develop a water based mineral solution to support the Tower Garden™ technology.  It took support from leading world experts in plant and human nutrition to develop the proprietary Tower Tonic plant food we use today. The Tower Tonic contains a wide range of specially formulated ionic minerals and plant nutrients. The Tower Tonic provides a pH balanced blend of natural plant nutrients that stimulate plant roots, flowers, fruits, and leaves. The Tower Tonic is the world’s first high performance ionic mineral solution specifically designed for all types of food and flowering crops. The amazing Tower Tonic can be used to grow everything from gourmet lettuce, to edible flowers, to beautiful vine ripened tomatoes. Healthy plants packed with nutrition help create healthy people! The Tower Tonic is loaded with minerals essential to vibrant human health! 

Our third goal—to have a “green” or sustainable technology—was an integral part of developing the Tower Garden™ technology.  The majority of food grown for the US market is not produced in a green or sustainable way. Today’s food travels great distances using gas and electricity.  It is stored in a chilled environment for a period of time using more energy. It requires layers of packaging to end up in the consumer’s hands. It is sprayed with fungicides, pesticides, and herbicides, which require more energy and pollutes the planet. Water practices for organic or conventional agriculture, is extremely wasteful and a huge concern with looming water shortages worldwide.

The modular Tower Garden™ technology can be utilized anywhere in the world.  This is highly beneficial because the carbon foot print of the food is greatly reduced by virtually eliminating shipping and storage. The Tower Garden™ uses a closed system technology to recycle 100% of the nutrients and water. This means the plants only use 5%–10% of the nutrients and water that is commonly used in conventional and organic farming. Food is also not wasted because crops can be harvested as needed in each household. Finally, the pH balanced ionic minerals and plant nutrients found in the Tower Tonic (Ionic mineral-based plant food used in the Tower Garden™), produce strong, healthy plants that can better protect themselves from plant pests and disease. This reduces the use of organic and conventional pesticides.
