I have been gardening INDOORS for just over a year now. And it’s changed my life. In fact, it’s been one of those “I wish I’d discovered this sooner!” things.
If you’d prefer to watch this, rather than read, check out my 7-min video here.
International trade is changing, as our North American countries are at odds with many of our longtime trading partners. Stores large and small, even Walmarts, are going out of business, with many more projected into the next few years.

I know it’s been our lived experience that we have thousands of options in every grocery store near us.
But that’s been the case for only a few decades, and we have become very dependent. Now it’s time to think about how we can provide more healthy, fresh food for OURSELVES.
Luckily that doesn’t involve going back to subsistence farming, or committing to an hour a day with a hoe or on your knees weeding! (Been there. Done that.)
Plus, there’s little nutrition in the food we get that’s been in the supply chain–with produce, even for months sometimes–with the use of insecticides, pesticides, and now preservatives some of our fruits and vegetables are coated in.
(Apeel is new. But my grandparents owned The Romney Produce Company and they were dipping apples and citrus in wax/shellack before I was born!
It’s not that they wanted to. It’s that if you didn’t, people would buy the other vendor’s shinier apple.)
And that water sprayed out of nozzles in the Produce section at the grocery store, to keep food fresh as long as possible? It’s not just water–it’s toxic chemicals, too.
So if we’ve all seen shortages and more are projected, and if we’re all concerned about the quality of the food we buy–
–you want to take more control over your food.
I have gardened my whole life, since I was a little girl. Including attempting during the lockdown in 2020, in Park City where just as everything fruited, it froze! (Which explained why I never saw another garden up there, in the 4 years I lived there!)
And in Florida, where it hits 100 degrees by June, and I had no idea such a variety of bugs could live in ONE place.
I loved that as a gardener (even though I’m not a great one and I’m really neglectful and have had a lot of fails)--my kids understand where food comes from.
We didn’t even have grocery stores until 1948, so even though it’s been our lived experience to have everything we need within a few miles–our future could look different.
WHO KNEW I could be picking PERFECT produce–that hasn’t been in the supply chain–right off the plant just a few feet away from where I’m preparing it in the kitchen!
Where I can be drinking the green smoothie or eating the salad, 10 minutes after it was actively growing!
And where as soon as the crop is harvested, I’ve got more growing right behind it, ready to harvest every few weeks!
Using this aeroponic method of growing indoors, these are things you can expect:
🌿You can use 98% less water
🌿You can use 90% less space, versus growing the same amount of food in soil
🌿You can get an average 30% better yield
🌿You can grow up to 3x faster than outdoor soil gardens
🌿You can grow without the fallout of chemtrails being on our plants
🌿Achieve equivalent nutrient density
(It does use similar nitrogen fertilizer that farmers use, so I still recommend you take our Ultimate Minerals every day, to cover the difference.)
🌿You’ll avoid all herbicide (like Roundup)
🌿You can grow up to 6 crops annually, back to back, no “soil amending” needed
🌿It’s easy for seniors, children, and you don’t have to work on hands and knees
🌿It’s perfect for people living in apartments, condos, or with a restrictive HOA
I have one right between my dining room and living room!
Lettuce Grow Farmstands are easy, and fun, they get the kids involved–
–and it helps you achieve more sovereignty, and control, of your nutrient-dense food supply!
I call it my Green Smoothie Tower!
It might be my best investment yet, to increase our nutrition and also be prepared.
It’s eco-friendly, it helps you take huge steps towards self-sufficiency, and it can help take your nutrition through the roof.
I don’t grow vining vegetables indoors on my Farmstand, though you can grow some limited varieties, if you take a few extra steps. I grow mostly greens and herbs.
My 7-min video shows how easy it is to set up, and plant new seedlings, and maintain!
We had another brand before the Farmstand–and that one took John several hours over two days, and a lot of swearing.
So he loved this one being super easy, and it was up and running with no problem in 30 minutes! With our first set of seedlings in the Farmstand growing!
You can just order the seedlings, all the plants to fill my large unit were $107 when I recorded this. Or you could also start them from seed to save money if you want.
The video shows it’s super easy to put them in the Farmstand.
Seedlings have always arrived to me in great shape, I’ve never had a single one die, in a year.
Whether you do it yourself from seed, or buy the seedlings, is related to which you have more of–TIME, or MONEY.
I’ve been in both situations, at different times in my life. It’s great to learn how to start your plants from seed, though, and have some heirloom seeds on hand.
If you’re reading this before Sept. 1, you can get $125 off any Farmstand, with coupon code GSG125. Go to greensmoothiegirl.com/indoorgarden, and use the coupon code GSG125.
They’ve never given us a discount code before, so jump on it, if you’re reading this in time!
After Sept. 1, the next special deal (worth up to $107) is that they’ll send you an entire set of seedlings so you can immediately put them into your Farmstand and get growing–and have your first harvest 3 to 4 weeks from today!
I think you’ll find this fun and enjoyable, and affordable too.

I appreciate the benefits of growing my own food but one question:
what about the beneficial effects of sunlight (at your suggestion, I’ve started ‘sunning’ my water) for the plants?
Or maybe it’s not perfect but the benefits you mention outway the shortcomings?
I just ordered mine excited to get going
