About the Farm

Background

New Age Provisions' journey began with ancestors who were slaves, transitioned to sharecroppers in the South, and now embraces advanced hydroponic farming in the city. Mario Vitalis, the owner and founder, connects with his heritage through farming, echoing the practices of his great grandparents. The farm's evolution reflects a commitment to using the land to nourish families and communities, adapting to modern technology to meet local food needs.

Practices

Employing hydroponic farming technology, the farm produces high-quality, fresh produce without the use of herbicides, pesticides, or soil contamination. This method allows for year-round cultivation within shipping containers, ensuring a consistent supply of fresh food to nearby families and restaurants. The farm's approach breaks away from traditional farming rules, leveraging technology to innovate the supply chain and provide a fresh perspective on food production.

The Rest

The farm also offers a variety of themed apparel supporting local and diverse farmers.
