Design + systems
DIY parts and plans, or a custom install we start for you. Hydroponic greens stations, patio tomatoes, small aquaponic beds, natural-farming plots.
Restarting from scratch. Facebook page is waking up. No store lease. No greenhouse fantasy. First we sell systems people can actually run.

Grow food at home.
We’ll help you build the system.
Tola Homegrown is a farm, a farm store, and a design shop. We build home-scale systems you can understand and repair. You eat what you grow. If you have clean extra, we can buy it and put it on the stall.
Dormant since 2021. Coming back as a thin company — one hero kit, one consult, one channel.
What this is
Three desks. One brand.
Not a smart-garden subscription. Not a vertical-farm pitch. A workshop that teaches households to feed themselves with water, light, and honest soil.
Grower network
You grow. If there is extra that meets a written spec, Tola can buy it. Rejection is part of the deal. We will not take everything.
Farm + store
Our own small grow loop plus network surplus plus parts. First as pop-up and preorder. A leased counter comes later, if the math holds.
First menu
Start with systems you can service.
Proven layouts only. We customize size and finish. We do not invent a new topology for every kitchen.
Hero system
Greens station
12–20 site Kratky or deep-water culture. Lettuce, basil, mustard. The first thing we will document, photograph, and sell as a parts list plus install.
Patio
Tower or A-frame NFT
Vertical greens where floor space is tight. Serviceable pumps and tubing you can replace at a hardware store.
Fruit
Dutch-bucket tomatoes
Four to eight buckets. Cherry and slicing types. For people who already kept a plant alive.
Closed loop
Small aquaponic bed
Fish plus plants, only if you will keep the fish well. Media bed, not a restaurant supply farm.
No pumps
Natural-farming bed
Compost, mulch, and a bed plan. For yards that should stay in soil.
Parts
DIY kit + plan pack
Pumps, net pots, media, air stones, timers, pH/EC tools, and a one-page safety sheet. Hardware-store equivalents published so you are never stuck.
Two ways to buy
Build it, or have us stand it up.
DIY parts and plans
Lowest inventory risk. You assemble. We kit the list and stay on the other end of a message if the pump screams.
- Hero-system bill of materials
- Printed or PDF plan
- Safety sheet — water plus electricity, fish welfare, food-contact parts
Turnkey custom
Designed, delivered, and started. Kitchen, patio, garage, or small yard.
- Written scope before we cut pipe
- System price, install hours, and a 30-day tune-up — quoted every time
- Parts you can replace locally. No locked pods.
Design desk
Pay for a plan. Do not mine a free Facebook comment for a full BOM.
Remote consult
60–90 minutes. Light, water, space, and which system actually fits the room.
Site walk
On-site audit. We leave with a recommended layout and a quote path to install.
Project
Multi-visit design for a house, classroom, or café garden that people will see.
Farm store
A window, not a building. Yet.
The store will sell Tola-grown food, graded network surplus, and the parts that grew it. First surface is a pop-up, market stall, or porch pickup. Buyback only after a written spec exists.
Buyback rule — draft
- Allowed crops start with leafy greens and herbs.
- Grade: clean, pest-free, harvested on a named window.
- Price is a published schedule, not a handshake every Saturday.
- Weekly dollar cap. Tola is not required to take the whole tower.
- Rejected lots are composted, not argued onto the table.

The old Facebook page is the only warm-ish room we have. This form is the second door. Reply with what you need. We will not pretend a kit is in stock if it is not.
