Mokena-based Dittos Foods has created a hydroponic farm to give Chicagoland residents access to ethically-sourced and sustainable produce.
A farmer in south suburban Mokena is on a mission to increase access to fresh produce. He's growing lush greens, herbs and vegetables without soil, fertilizer or even sunlight.Derek Drake and Brad Schiever, co-founders of Dittos Foods, joined ABC7 Chicago to talk more about this new way of farming.Schiever said the farm grows about three acres of vegetables a year, and since it's indoors, winter does not affect the growing season.
On top of their growing process, Dittos Foods is also available for purchase at Chicagoland grocery stores, and those outside Chicago can also purchase seedling starters to start growing hydroponic plants.
