The Need

Salad Days Produce owners Leigh Bailey and Jamie Redmond envisioned a more sustainable way to grow produce to help feed their Mississippi neighbors. Conventional farming methods, which meant toiling in the dirt, culling weeds and fighting invasive plants and insects, couldn’t be the path forward. So, they researched and visited indoor farms and came up with a fix.

The Solution

Bailey and Redmond are now owners of a hydroponic lettuce farm in Flora, Mississippi, where they grow upwards of 200,000 flavorful heads of lettuce every year without a speck of dirt or harmful chemicals—all while using less than 10 percent of the land usually required to produce such a haul. C Spire Fiber internet helps them create and monitor the conditions that make it all possible.
