Hydroponically grown greens use 90% less water than traditional methods, all without the use of harmful pesticides. Plus the greens are <a href=\"https:\/\/babylonmicrofarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Babylon-Nutritional-Data-Sheet-4-27-2023-no-bleeds-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">better for you<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How do the Micro-Farms work?<\/h2>\n<p>Each Micro-Farm features sophisticated software and sensors that work together to ensure crops get just the right amount of light, water and nutrients. And Babylon\u2019s mobile app helps you keep tabs on your crops and get notified when they\u2019re ready for harvest.<\/p>\n<h2>How much does one cost?<\/h2>\n<p>There are several different pricing options. Please <a href=\"https:\/\/babylonmicrofarms.com\/get-a-quote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contact us to learn more<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How much work is involved in growing?<\/h2>\n<p>Our technology and mobile app make it simple to operate. Farming typically takes an hour or so per week. We also have partners in select cities who can handle farm operation for you, if you\u2019re interested.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is the company called Babylon?<\/h2>\n<p>Our founders Alexander and Graham drew inspiration from the proto-hydroponics of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hanging_Gardens_of_Babylon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hanging gardens of Babylon<\/a>, one of the original seven wonders of the ancient world.<\/p>\n<h2>Do you offer a farm for personal use?<\/h2>\n<p>Not at this time.<\/p>\n<h2>Do your farms grow marijuana?<\/h2>\n<p>No. Our customers use their Micro-Farms to grow leafy greens, herbs, edible flowers, and microgreens.<\/p>\n<h2>Do you ship outside the US?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes. We currently have a number of clients outside the US.<\/p>\n<h2>Are you hiring?<\/h2>\n<p>Please visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/babylon-micro-farms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">careers page<\/a>.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; prev_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; next_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/babylonmicrofarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/microgreens-for-email-CIA-ACF.jpg&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_center&#8221; background_vertical_offset=&#8221;7%&#8221; min_height=&#8221;516px&#8221; max_height=&#8221;388px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; top_divider_style=&#8221;wave&#8221; bottom_divider_style=&#8221;wave&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;CONTACT FORM&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||125px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||75px||false|false&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover_enabled=&#8221;off|hover&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|60px||60px|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|25px|15px|25px|false|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;HEADLINE: Let\u2019s Harvest Together.&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;|600|on||||||&#8221; header_6_text_color=&#8221;#5991A1&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||15px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Let&#8217;s Change The World<\/h2>\n<h6>Clean, sustainable, pesticide-free food, grown as locally as it possibly can be.
