Featured Producer: Living Towers!



"Living Towers is home to a 2,200 square foot, state-of-the- art greenhouse that produces “beyond organic” lettuces, herbs, and vegetables. We are open from 10am – 6pm, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The produce we grow and a variety of seedlings (see www.livingtowerseedlings.com for details) are always available. Group tours are also available outside of these hours. Please contact us for more information or to book a tour.

Living Towers was established in October 2010 by Dr Jan Young ND. Jan’s small idea soon became a large project, as more and more families became aware of the importance of locally grown foods and knowing the source of those foods. The business is now run by Jan, her son Jason and her daughter-in-law Dee. In October 2012, just two years after Living Towers opened, construction began on the second greenhouse.

Living Towers is also a prototype of the future in community and family food production and consumption. Our food is produced “Clean and Green” using rainwater collection and solar energy, creating the smallest possible ecological footprint. Here we grow over 5000 plants in a 2,200 square foot greenhouse. Grow these crops on the ground and you would use between a third and half an acre!

We use a water based growing system (Hydroponic) that creates its own highly oxygenated environment (Aeroponic) for the plant roots. Our plants are grown vertically, using the latest “Tower Garden” (link to Tower Garden Page) technology and a proprietary Tower Tonic plant food. Our wide range of ionic earth based minerals and plant nutrients allow us to grow strong, healthy, nutrient dense produce essential to vibrant human health.

At Living Towers, we blend Nature with Technology, producing foods that “Nourish the Human Body and Spirit”.

We service our local community by selling produce direct from our farm, along with supplying organic co-ops and food banks. Our goals include promoting buying local organic food, as well as the sustainable living movement. We accomplish this by teaching family growing, community gardening, and commercial production through tours and seminars. Eating good quality food doesn’t have to cost the earth, nor have a negative impact on the earth.




Items available from Living Towers:



Fresh Herbs


Kale and Lettuce
