Why Vertical Farming Matters
Traditional farming relies on seasons, sunlight, and soil—but our aeroponic towers break those boundaries. With a fully controlled environment, you can grow fresh, nutrient-rich greens all year round. Even in the harshest northern climates or isolated regions, our systems deliver reliable, consistent harvests 365 days a year.
Space shouldn’t limit your ability to grow food. Our vertical towers maximize production using up to 90% less land than conventional farming. By going vertical, we turn compact indoor areas into high-yield growing spaces—perfect for homes, schools, and community centers with limited square footage.
Because we grow locally, your food doesn’t travel for days before reaching your plate. Our system slashes the supply chain, delivering fresh produce within hours of harvest. That means more flavor, more nutrients, and less food waste—plus a smaller carbon footprint for a healthier planet.
Sovereignty Through Sustainability
Willow Brook Farms began with a simple mission: to feed our families with clean, homegrown food. What started as a personal journey has grown into a movement that empowers entire communities. By bringing food production closer to home, we help people take back control of what they eat, how it’s grown, and where it comes from.
Our vertical towers are designed with health and sustainability in mind. Using only water, nutrients, and air—without any soil, herbicides, or pesticides—our system produces clean, chemical-free food. It’s a safe, natural way to grow that protects people and the planet.
Each tower is more than just a growing system—it’s a tool for change. From classrooms to community hubs, we provide hands-on education and foster food independence. Our work supports long-term health, self-reliance, and food sovereignty in Indigenous and remote communities across Canada.
A Smarter Way to Grow
We’ve merged Indigenous values with leading-edge farming technology to bring food production closer to home—cleaner, faster, and more sustainable than ever.
No Chemicals Needed
Our towers grow produce in a clean, controlled environment—no pesticides, herbicides, or harmful additives. Just water, nutrients, and pure growing power.
Zero Soil, Zero Mess
No dirt. No digging. Our soil-free system means less mess, less contamination, and a fresher, more hygienic way to grow food anywhere.
Compact & Scalable
Whether it’s one tower in a kitchen or dozens in a greenhouse, our modular systems adapt to your needs—big or small, home or commercial.
Grows Almost Anywhere
From remote communities to urban apartments, our aeroponic towers thrive indoors year-round—no sunlight, no farmland required.
It’s inspiring to see a relative expanding his distribution business—what an incredible journey! Even more amazing is witnessing the rise of so many Métis and Indigenous entrepreneurs who are thriving and making a lasting impact in their communities. The future is bright.
Jason Lizotte “The Lights On Movement and Willow Brook Farms are going to help produce thousands of pounds of fresh, nutritious plants in Indigenous schools and communities across Canada — and that’s incredibly exciting.”
