Silt, Colo.-based Spring Born, a 3.5-acre indoor hydroponic greenhouse, will be one of the first leafy green farms in Colorado to undergo organic certification by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Spring Born products will be available for retail distribution in August, according to a news release.

“We care about the state of our environment and building sustainable practices that leave a lasting impact on our local community,” company president Charles Barr said in the release.

The indoor farm grows, packs and distributes products directly from the greenhouse to support a shelf life of 14 days at retail.

With consumer preferences in mind, Spring Born offers four varieties year-round in standard retail and club-pack sizes.

The company will open its doors for tours and variety testing in July. Learn more at www.springborn.us.
