Tower Garden technical support via our online community
Currently, Hawai'i's infrastructure does not support small farmers in a sustainable way. There are multiple barriers to land and water access, and small farmers cannot compete with imported food prices. At Hawai'i Tower Farms, we're addressing these issues by installing Tower Gardens directly where they're needed -- in homes and gardens.
Tower Gardens use considerably less space, time, and water to grow food as compared to growing in soil. There is no weeding and the towers take ~45 minutes to set up. Harvests can happen in 2 to 6 weeks depending on what's planted. After the initial set up, maintenance can be as little as 30 minutes per tower a week to refill the reservoir with water and nutrients and test pH levels, depending on what's being grown. Cleaning the towers involves soaking, a little scrubbing, and rinsing.
Hawai'i Tower Farms started in 2024 after owner Melissa Danielle completed the GoFarm Hawai'i AgXcel Beginning Farmer program. Recognizing the barriers and limitations to traditional market farming, Melissa turned to Tower Gardens to provide an efficient way to grow as much food as possible with minimal infrastructure.
FAQs
What is a Tower Garden?
A Tower Garden is an innovative vertical growing system that uses air and minimal water (aeroponics) to grow plants. Learn more at the Tower Garden website
Is growing in a Tower Garden organic?
Technically, soil is required to grow organically, so no. However, there are ways to grow using organic methods in aeroponic systems, such as using organic seeds and compost tea. We use organic practices as much as possible in our growing systems.
Who's behind Hawai'i Tower Farms?
Hawai'i Tower Farms is owned and managed by Melissa Danielle. Melissa spent 15 years building community around food and farms in Brooklyn and throughout New York State before moving to Hawai'i in 2015. Melissa completed her farm training and studies with GoFarm, GoFish, Windward Community College, UH Manoa, Beginning Farmers Institute, and others.
In addition to farming, Melissa is a licensed massage therapist and new parent navigator.
Melissa also serves as a board member for Kailua Alert & Prepared and is a volunteer with Kailua Community Emergency Response Team.
