10 New Reasons to Visit Montgomery, AL
On your next visit to Montgomery, stop by MGM Greens (you can’t miss it — it’s the two stacked shipping containers) to see first-hand how the growers almost magically farm lush greens without soil, GMO, pesticides, or preservatives. This is as fresh as it gets.
This self-contained smart farm grows vertically and hydroponically without soil, nutrified from minimal water and light energy from powerful LED lights, in contrast to the water needed to farm traditional row crops. And MGM Greens just opened a second freight farm, allowing the group to sell its bounty in retail shops, supply fresh produce to its restaurants, and further curate menus based on new, flourishing crops.
