Overview
What is the Fork Farms Flex Farm – Indoor Hydroponic System?
The Fork Farms Flex Farm is a self-contained, vertical hydroponic growing system designed to put a working indoor farm anywhere there's a standard electrical outlet and less than 10 square feet of floor space. With 288 plant spaces arranged around an energy-efficient LED light tower, the Flex Farm grows 25-plus pounds of leafy greens, herbs, and vegetables every 28 days — more than 394 pounds of fresh produce annually, and up to 3,400 plants over the course of a year. It uses no soil, requires no pesticides, and consumes up to 95% less water than traditional agriculture.
Built with schools and food programs in mind, the Flex Farm pairs the hardware with Fork Farms' Farmative growing platform and free STEM curriculum aligned to Next Generation Science Standards, turning a single unit into a hands-on classroom for biology, nutrition, and sustainability while supplying real food to a cafeteria, pantry, or community table. Assembly takes minutes, and the system needs only about two hours of regular maintenance per month, so non-specialist staff and students can operate it confidently.
RobotLAB sells the Flex Farm for $4,995 outright, or $104/month through our Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) program. As a nationwide reseller and integrator, RobotLAB handles procurement, deployment guidance, training, and ongoing support — so K-12 districts, universities, senior-living communities, and food-program operators get a single accountable partner from purchase order through harvest.

How it works
Fork Farms Flex Farm – Indoor Hydroponic System in detail
K-12 STEM classrooms and cafeterias
Drop a Flex Farm into a science lab, common area, or cafeteria and use the included NGSS-aligned curriculum to teach plant biology, nutrition, and sustainability hands-on. Students plant, monitor, and harvest 25-plus pounds of greens every four weeks that can go straight to the lunch line or a salad bar — connecting classroom learning to the food on their plates.
Higher-ed dining and research
Universities use the Flex Farm to supply campus dining halls with hyper-local greens, support culinary and agriculture programs, and run controlled-environment agriculture research without the capital cost of a greenhouse or container farm. Its small footprint fits dorms, dining facilities, and lab spaces, and multiple units scale up production as demand grows.
Assisted-living and wellness programs
Senior-living and gym-wellness operators use the Flex Farm for horticultural-therapy programming and to serve residents fresh, pesticide-free produce year-round. The waist-height growing rings and low two-hours-per-month maintenance make it accessible for residents and staff to tend together as a shared, engaging activity.
Community food programs and pantries
Government agencies, nonprofits, and community organizations deploy Flex Farms to grow nutritious food on-site for pantries and meal programs, even in urban locations with no land. One unit yields more than 394 pounds annually in under 10 square feet, and units can be added or connected as a program scales.

Questions & answers
About the Fork Farms Flex Farm – Indoor Hydroponic System.
-
How much food can one Flex Farm actually grow?
Each Flex Farm has 288 plant spaces and produces 25-plus pounds of fresh greens, herbs, and vegetables every 28 days — more than 394 pounds annually, or up to 3,400 plants over a year. Actual yield depends on the crops you choose and growing conditions. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to talk through what your program could realistically harvest.
-
What space, power, and water does it need?
The Flex Farm fits in less than 10 square feet and runs on a standard electrical outlet — no plumbing or specialized facility required. It recirculates water in a self-contained reservoir (roughly 25-30 gallons of working fill per Fork Farms) and uses up to 95% less water than traditional farming. For exact height and weight, contact RobotLAB at 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
How much maintenance and expertise does it take to run?
It's designed for non-specialists. Assembly takes under 15 minutes, and ongoing care is about two hours per month — topping off water, checking nutrients, and harvesting. Fork Farms' Farmative platform and partner support team provide growing guidance, and RobotLAB adds deployment help and training. No prior farming experience needed.
-
Is it really a good fit for schools and classrooms?
Yes — it's one of the most popular hydroponic systems in K-12. It ships with free STEM curriculum aligned to Next Generation Science Standards, so students learn plant biology, nutrition, and sustainability hands-on while growing real food for the cafeteria or a community program. RobotLAB can help structure a classroom or district rollout; call 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
What does the $4,995 price include, and is financing available?
The $4,995 purchase includes the Flex Farm hardware (self-contained water system, LED light tower, submersible pump), a Grower Toolkit, a Starter Supplies Box, access to the Farmative growing platform, and Fork Farms growing support. RobotLAB also offers it at $104/month through our Robot-as-a-Service program to fit budget and grant cycles. Call 1-87-RobotLAB for a quote.
-
Can we scale beyond one unit?
Yes. The Flex Farm is modular — programs commonly add units as demand grows, and Fork Farms offers larger configurations (Flex Connect and Flex Acre) for higher-volume production. RobotLAB can plan a phased rollout and handle procurement for multiple sites. Reach us at 1-87-RobotLAB.
-
Why buy through RobotLAB instead of direct?
RobotLAB is a nationwide reseller and integrator that consolidates procurement, deployment guidance, training, and support under one accountable partner — convenient for districts and institutions using purchase orders, grants, or RaaS financing.
