Walking through the hydroponic greenhouse at Scissortail Farms surrounded by hundreds of towers of the freshest greens and herbs is a futuristic experience. The lettuce, kale, chard, basil, sorrel, chives — about 30 different varieties of vegetative plants — grow thick and lush.
It’s a forest of green plants peeking out from all sides of large cylindrical white towers. Every so often, water pumps through towers, trickling down inside, sounding like a gentle waterfall. The edible plants are especially tender because they aren’t exposed to the elements, explained co-founder Rob Walenta.
We have updated our new on-site retail hours. We hope to see you soon!

We have had a lot of interest in public tours of the facility and we are planning our first one on March 7th. There will be a $10 fee and we will provide everyone with some greens to take home. The tours are by appointment only, and health, safety and non-compete forms need to be completed prior to entry. If you’re interested, please email info@scissortailfarms.com and we will get you some further details.
