Excerpt:
As the next phase, HeyFarmer is now developing a twin-tower model capable of growing 72 vegetable plants. The aim is to produce up to 50% of a household’s vegetable needs in a fresh, chemical-free and innovative manner. For the current single-tower model, a weekly commitment of just 10 minutes is sufficient for cultivation; with the twin-tower setup, 10 minutes is sufficient for cultivation; with the twin-tower setup, 10 minutes per month will suffice.
This new model is designed not only for balconies but also for indoor rooms, where grow lights replace natural sunlight to support plant growth.
Jerin explains that discussions during their student years amidst the pandemic about growing fresh vegetables at home inspired the concept. Instead of market-focused farming, the startup emphasises home cultivation, addressing urban challenges such as limited time, space and convenience. By harnessing technology, HeyFarmer seeks to eliminate these barriers, making farming both accessible for everyone.
