HSM Tower Farm
Nutrient dense, beyond organic lettuces, leafy greens and herbs
Get to Know Us
HSM Tower Farm is a local farm specializing in beyond-organic, pesticide-free,nutrient-dense lettuces and herbs grown year-round using indoor aeroponic vertical systems. Founded by Lori Mason, a third-generation farmer who,after over 20 years of leading programs for the U.S. Department of State in Iraq, left international development to combine her passions for local sourced, clean foods and community development. In 2024, she also launched Springs Group, an Alexander County–based nonprofit focused on addressing rural poverty and expanding opportunity for workforce reentry. HSM Tower Farm currently supports her family and is being developed as a sustainable revenue stream to help fund Springs Group’s programs and long-term impact.
What is Vertical Farming?
Aeroponics is a soil-free growing technique where plant roots are suspended in air and misted with a nutrient-rich solution. This allows plants to absorb exactly what they need, when they need it — resulting in faster growth and healthier harvests.
The aeroponic system uses a closed-loop vertical design that maximizes space, allowing you to grow anywhere.
Aeroponic farming uses up to 98% less water than conventional farming and uses only 10% of the land, making it ideal for urban and indoor farming. This method of growing is eco-friendly, recycling 100% of water and nutrients, reducing runoff and environmental impact. It allows us to grow nutrient-dense, fresh produce year-round for all-season harvests.
