This is the solution for people without garden space or a green thumb to maintain produce.

Replantable is the producer of the Nanofarm, a product described as the "first appliance that grows food for you," and we are all ears. The Nanofarm is a hands-off, indoor-growing device that grows fresh produce year-round for those who don't have the time or space to garden.

The modular farm allows people with different needs to build their farm to their liking, whether that means only having one unit on the counter that grows herbs or putting together a whole wall of units to sustain an entire family.

LED lights, Plant Pads, and water trays come together to form this remarkable, self-sustaining farm. The Plant Pads are soil-free, pre-seeded paper and fabric pads that contain the nutrients needed for each plant, and each pad is seeded differently to accommodate the growing patterns of the particular plant.

The pads are placed on top of the water tray, where they wick up water as needed during the growing cycle, so that the owner of the farm doesn't even need to worry about watering the produce.

During harvesting time, the user can harvest their crops, wash the tray, grate, and splash guard (which are all dishwasher-friendly) and use new Plant Pads to get started on another batch. Each Plant Pad is only $5, and can be ordered as needed or using a subscription plan.

The focus on simplicity in this new product cannot be understated. In other indoor-growing systems, the high-tech products often require pairing with an app to check progress or maintenance of a watering system with pumps.
