Green Food Solutions

Green Food Solutions is the first franchise to offer the revolutionary Farming-as-a-Service (FaaS™)
model, providing communities with access to fresh, organically grown produce where they live and work
- all at no cost to consumers.
We specialize in selling, installing, and maintaining vertical hydroponic
farms and gardens, known as Farm Amenities® and Garden Amenities®, for residential buildings,
corporate offices, hospitality companies, restaurants, juice bars, schools, community centers, hospitals,
and more. By transforming spaces into hubs of sustainability, we address critical issues like food
access, affordability, and environmental impact, empowering local food systems.
With open territories
and no direct national competitors, Green Food Solutions offers a unique opportunity to revolutionize
food production. Our franchise model is ideal for those who want to make a difference while enjoying a
flexible 9-to-5 lifestyle. Recurring revenue streams from service contracts, equipment sales,
installations, workshops, and seedling subscriptions ensure strong margins and an efficient business
model. There’s no need for inventory, warehouses, or physical farms unless you opt for a showroom or
training center. Everything is drop-shipped, allowing you to focus on growing your business.
We provide
extensive support, including leads, sales assistance, training, CAD layouts, marketing templates,
detailed SOPs, and more. With low startup costs, a $45,000 initial fee, and modest royalties, we make it
easy to launch your vertical urban farming business.
