Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Produce’d blog!
I’m Greg Crafter, CEO and founder of Produce’d, and I am thrilled to have you join us on this green journey. Just a few years ago, I was a sales executive, clocking in long hours, dreaming of a life that was more aligned with my values and passions. Today, I stand before you as the founder of one of the hydroponics industry’s first major black-owned brands, a testament to the power of dreams and the beauty of change.
My journey into the world of hydroponics started as a personal quest for a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle. It quickly blossomed into a vision to empower others to grow their own food, to understand the importance of what they eat, and to reconnect with the process of cultivation. This vision gave birth to Produce’d, a company that not only develops hydroponic systems and services but also embodies a movement towards greener, more self-sufficient living.
At Produce’d, we are driven by a simple but powerful ethos: to make farming accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable for everyone, regardless of their background or living situation. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joy and satisfaction of growing their own food. Our GrowBlock system, combined with our monthly GrowBox service of plants and nutrients, is designed to make this a reality.
As a black entrepreneur in the hydroponics industry, I am keenly aware of the importance of representation and diversity in this field. We are committed to breaking barriers and fostering an inclusive community where all feel welcome to explore the wonders of hydroponic gardening.
Through this blog, we aim to share valuable insights, tips, and stories to inspire and guide you in your hydroponic adventures. Whether you are a seasoned grower or just starting, our blog will provide you with the resources and support to make your gardening experience a success.
Join us as we explore the incredible world of hydroponics, share the stories of our community, and grow together. We are excited to have you here and look forward to embarking on this journey with you.
Thank you for choosing Produce’d. Here’s to growing better days!
Together,
Greg Crafter
