With 16,000 thousand square feet of greenhouse space. Xylem Farms will be one of the pioneers in the smart farming movement in central TX.
What is Xylem?
Xylem is defined as the vascular tissue in plants that guides water and dissolved minerals upward from the root into the leaves where the compounds can then interact with sunlight to produce sugars, and energy the plant needs.
We want to be the xylem to guide and educate smart, organic, sustainable farming from the darkness to the light.
