#50- Benefits of Hydroponic Farming” - Trevor Spear, Farmer/Owner of Nanues Farm

Trevor Spear, farmer, owner of Nanues Farm, was born and raised in eastern North Carolina creates an understanding of nature and how it works within a community. A boat was sometimes a necessity, not a joy ride, and hard chores were required if he wanted to play on Saturdays. His parents love and upbringing instilled an entrepreneurial spirit that has been a blessing and curse all my life. After 35 years in every aspect construction, he decided to hang up your hard hat and find a new career. He read an article about Kendall Musk’s hydroponic farm and scheduled a tour at Freight Farms. While construction can be stressful, the joy that you remember, is watching something grow from nothing and the smells each stage of the job would bring. He has discovered those joys again in this second life, growing lettuce, root vegetables and herbs. He could never be a traditional farmer, with so many unknowns. He is young at heart and enjoy new toys and tech, so growing hydroponics inside a shipping container was a perfect fit. Nanues is a family owned and dynamically runned business with inspiration from Trevor's grandmother Cox whose husband Abby, passed away when Trevor's mother was seven. A hard-working woman with grit, she still found necessary time and escape in the ¼ acre garden she maintained year round in “Little” Washington NC. Trevor remember helping her on Sunday visits and weeks of summer break. Walking behind her, she educated him how each plant needed different attention, how to pull suckers on the “maters”, why to cut slugs floating in the tins, and not to tell Uncle Kenny we used his good beer! That small garden seemed as big as a baseball field and the rows seemed endless when the sunset hit just right. So… when it came time to name our new hydroponic farm, Trevor had many creative choices, but it could only be one name, the name that inspired his love of watching things grow. This conversation includes benefits of Hydroponic Farming, all about lettuce (its history and its demand in the current times), conducive environment difference in hydroponic and traditional gardening, food safety ( setting their own high standard) and its sustainability.
