We are super excited to review 4 Mobile Hydroponic Trailer farm designs from Farmoponics. Growwithoutsoil is one of the few distributors of Farmoponics.com hydroponic trailers. You have probably never seen anything quite like these, because until Farmoponics invented it a few years ago because they didn’t exist. Sure there are greenhouses and shipping container farms. There are also tent systems you can set up in a room in your home, but there is nothing quite like these mobile green machines. The smaller models can be modified to go off-road and off-grid! Grow and take your greens with you anywhere on the planet. Why, you ask, would anyone want to do that? I’ll give you 4 good reasons. 1. Survivalists. 2. Renters or anyone not sure where they are settling down yet. Just load up and take the garden with you…or sell it. 3. Avid campers or perpetual travelers. 4. Anyone who wants to start a farmer’s market, concession, or food trailer business.
The future of mobile Controlled Environmental Agriculture (CEA) has arrived
- Grow your own super-fresh lettuce, greens, microgreens, and herbs on the go when camping across the country.
- Renting but want a decent size garden? This may be the product for you.
- Have specialty diet requirements but can’t get the items locally. Grow your own.
- No room for a garden at your home or the only space is not in sunlight.
- Create a farmer’s market business and “bring the farm to the market“
- Great for survivalists. Fit out with the off-road and off-grid packages to grow anywhere in the world of the grid.
- If your town allows you to park an RV on the side of your home then you can park one of these. Most town ordinances will not allow you to set a shipping container or assemble a greenhouse on your property even if you have considerable acreage.
