Vertical walls grow leafy greens hydroponically for local markets

Growings!, a hydroponics farm inside a former warehouse at the NETWorks facility in Tucker, held a ribbon cutting on May 20, 2025.
The farm was created to provide fresh produce year-round, avoiding weather dependence and supporting the existing food pantry at NETWorks.
Growings! cultivates leafy greens and herbs including lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, basil, arugula, Swiss chard, cilantro, and more under controlled indoor conditions.
David Fisher, NETWorks' executive director, explained that most items available in food pantries are packaged foods, while fresh fruits and vegetables are often limited, underscoring the importance of the farm’s contribution.
This project aims to enhance local food access by supplying fresh vegetables and herbs to clients who select their groceries from the food pantry.
