Our Story

Growing the Future, One Float at a Time

We're a team of urban farmers, food lovers, and sustainability advocates transforming city waterways into thriving microgreen ecosystems.

Our Mission

FloatGreen was founded in 2021 with a simple but bold vision: to use the untapped potential of urban waterways to grow the freshest, most nutritious food possible, right in the heart of the city.

Our floating platform technology allows us to cultivate microgreens without soil, using 95% less water than conventional agriculture, while producing zero agricultural runoff. We believe food should be grown where people live — and that sustainability and flavor go hand in hand.

Today, we supply over 50 local restaurants, hundreds of home cooks, and host weekly workshops that inspire the next generation of urban farmers.

Our Values

🌱

Sustainability First

Every decision we make prioritizes environmental impact. From carbon-negative operations to zero-waste packaging, we walk the talk.

🤝

Community Connection

We believe in food that brings people together. Through workshops, partnerships, and education, we build bridges between farms and tables.

🔬

Innovation Driven

Our floating platform technology is just the beginning. We constantly research and develop new ways to grow better food more efficiently.

✨

Uncompromising Quality

We never cut corners. Every tray is hand-tended, every harvest is inspected, and every delivery meets our exacting standards of freshness.
