Started by Lubbock natives Austin and Cory, Ogallala Greens is on a mission to provide healthy food to the South Plains. Since winning a spot in the Texas Tech College of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Accelerator Program, Ogallala Greens has grown to provide hydroponic produce. Growing with hydroponic systems is where plant roots are suspended in nutrient-rich water instead of the soil. This can reduce the amount of water needed to grow crops which have enabled the team to provide high quality produce and preserve the Ogallala Aquifer, which the company is named after. Check out their website to learn more and buy produce.
