About
About a year ago my 95-year-old grandfather who never gets up before noon, called me one morning at 7 AM saying that he had watched a program the evening before and he thought we should start a hydroponic farm. This was an especially interesting idea, as neither of us have ever been farmers. LOL. But if you are blessed enough to have a 95-year-old grandfather with the energy and creativity To want to start a new business, you learn.
A few months later we were constructing a new building, a couple of months after that installing a hydroponic system, and Jo’s Garden was born. Named after my grandmother who passed away years ago, Jo had a legendary green thumb, and loved nothing more than to spend time in her garden.
The world is ever-changing, and now more than ever the ability to bring sustainable, locally grown food to the community is vital. We are excited to be a part of the community of farmers providing fresh herbs and micro greens to Missouri.
