The Story of Food

It isn't easy to trace the story of our food today. We don’t always know the details on how our food was grown, what quality soil it was grown in, how fresh it is, or even what toxins it might contain. This is why we started Instafarm - so that each person could understand and know the story behind their food.

  • Based in northern Colorado, Instafarm was started by a group of entrepreneurs who also happen to be health enthusiasts. We believe that growing in soil is the best way to produce our food, since most food naturally grows that way. This belief set us out on a journey to discover the best way to automate soil based growing. After several years of R&D on automating soil based growing, we launched Instafarm to bring our countertop farm to market. Instafarm now has customers all around the United States and is preparing to expand internationally.

  • “My wife and I both grew up on small family farms and believe in the significance of good soil, hard work, and careful cultivation. We are curious. We care about health. We love beauty and the rigorous outdoor life of Colorado. We wanted to fuel our adventures and invest in our long term health. We care about stewarding our bodies so that we can give. We care about giving our children the best, freshest, nutrient dense, whole foods that we possibly can.”

    - Philip Hartman, President of Instafarm

We believe

healthy soil = healthy food = healthy lives.

We searched all around the country and tested many products to find the optimal soil for our countertop farm. Instafarm soil comes from a multi-generational farm in Pennsylvania’s Amish country that has been making nutrient rich soil for multiple generations. We are proud to partner with this family to use their soil in our trays.

We are so grateful that we get to be a part of your story and we hope the Instafarm can add a meaningful difference to your life! By far our favorite part of Instafarm is hearing how your story has been impacted. We’d love to hear from you!
