Note:

In Inisfree, every home and office has ample space for growing its own food; crops are grown indoors and out, in window troughs and vertical-farming units, on rooftops and across both the front- and backyards. Still, each building in the city has a dedicated room just for crops, and those are called crop-rooms.

These rooms are for our guests and residents to grow what they love to cook with for themselves. They are not required to grow anything specific –or even anything at all. The option is always available to them, though, as per our building code/s.

Only in the main farmland of our realm, called the cropland, do we grow examples of everything High King Auz loves to cook with.

…

Any deaths of small animals and bugs during individual homestead or other farming is unintentional, excepting of course during dusting. In stark contrast, and as polar-opposite as it gets, all nonvegan industry deaths are 100% intentional, premeditated, and worse; they are completely unnecessary. It will always do less harm to farm (as opposed to ranching; domesticating/enslaving animals the way humans enslaved them), and once a farm is established… it is a haven for little creatures, especially when the farm is a personal one like an edible garden or food forest.

Dimensions & Layout:

Each crop-room is the size of one Freight Farm; a 40′-long shipping container like a Conex box, retrofitted with hydroponic and aeroponic growing devices. Hanging rain-gutter-like columns have root-ball pod holes every few inches, totaling hundreds of plants in this garage-sized space. The output of one of these crop-rooms is more than enough to provide the bulk of any vegan household’s diet, and is often enough to feed the entire neighborhood.

Special Features:

Weekly harvests are often the norm with these self-contained units, and they only require a basic plumbing or hose connection, along with Wi-Fi. Plug-and-play is now plug-and-grow or plug-and-farm. Most guests and residents find that growing is so easy and reliable in their crop-room/s, they rarely have to go to the farm, market, or grocery store.

Neem trees are offered as standard in all these rooms/areas, whether outside or inside; these are great sources of a natural pesticide (even though pests are unable to exist in our realm).
