4B Farm LLC

Located in NW Kansas, this family-owned and operated business has established itself as a reliable source of fresh produce, specializing in lettuce and herbs. Over the years, they have earned FSMA safety and GAP/GHP safety certifications, underscoring their commitment to producing healthy products for families.

The farm employs hydroponic farming methods, which use 85% less water and 70% less space than traditional soil farming. This approach is particularly beneficial in times of drought and high land costs. The hydroponic system allows for efficient water use, with one head of lettuce requiring only 1-2 gallons of water from planting to maturity, compared to 50 gallons in soil farming. Additionally, plans are in place to utilize rainwater for cooling during the summer months.

The 44'x136' greenhouse can supply lettuce for over 1000 families every week, all year round, emphasizing the farm's capacity to provide consistent, local produce.
