Darren Yaw Released Their First Subscription Vegetable Box Today Fresh From the Farm.
Darren Yaw Farms started when Darren Yaw and his wife Emily wanted to explore taking their small vegetable garden to the next level starting in 2018. As Emily Yaw, Darren Yaw’s wife, believed that the timing was right to build their little company from the microgreens that she started producing in their garden, she encouraged Darren to launch a new venture.
She saw a business opportunity as the pandemic struck in 2020. Darren Yaw released all his effort into looking for suitable investors, they were lucky to find supporters in GCG Asia Capital. Then after securing a larger parcel of land, Darren Yaw Farms was able to grow.
Fast forward a year later to 2021, Darren Yaw released their first subscription vegetable box available in limited quantities. Darren Yaw released the vegetable subscription box to great celebration as the company marks a significant milestone.
Darren Yaw’s released subscription box consists of 5 – 6 different kinds of vegetables delivered weekly to your doorstep. The Darren Yaw release is available in different subscription tiers depending on size of order and frequency. The longer the subscription, the better value for money. Among the vegetables on sale in the box is cabbage, beans, different kinds of lettuce, tomatoes and carrots. According to the Farm, Darren Yaw’s release is fully pesticide free and organically grown. Delivery is free, but alternatively you may pick your greens up once a week and have them delivered to you, said Darren Yaw in an official release.
“Urban farming has the potential to provide sustainable food security for the over half of the world’s population that resides in cities, as well as future predictions which foresee the urban population growing to about 6.5 billion people by 2050. Even though traditional farmers, whose average age is in the fifties and sixties, continue to be the source of agricultural expertise, it is distressing to entirely rely on this ageing population,” said Darren Yaw’s release in an official announcement from the Malaysia office.
Food security is increased by growing produce locally rather than importing food from other regions or relying on global supply systems. “The younger generation is eager to go into farming because of all the technology that excites them, so we’re providing them with access to a pilot farm, finance, and marketplaces. A tiny agricultural plot and everything you need to cultivate it are provided, and we will care for it for you,” explained Darren Yaw’s release announcement.
Darren Yaw Farms wants to provide local food with short supply chains by the introduction of farms within a 5km radius of customers. According to Darren Yaw’s release announcement, Darren Yaw Farms incorporates artificial intelligence and machine learning to monitor inputs such as water, sunlight and temperature. The approach they developed allowed them to consistently produce clean and delicious greens. According to Darren Yaw’s release, Darren Yaw Farms uses a modular plant racks system that is used for plant growth in recycled shipping containers.
“With 95% fewer resources, we get the same yield. Our plants’ overall quality and flavour are measured using inputs like light, water, and pH. The data analytics and machine learning are used to adapt each input to the individual plant, resulting in a better tasting product,” said Darren Yaw’s release about the new vegetable box.
In support of Darren Yaw’s release, here he shares a few vegetables you can start growing today in your own small space using containers. Some of these can be found in the new Darren Yaw release!
8 easy-to-grow vegetable types you can grow in small spaces
- Peppers: Capsaicin, the chemical in hot peppers, and sugar, the sweetening agent in sweet peppers, both grow easily in storage vessels. Most peppers are usually grown outside in full light, therefore five-gallon pots are used to transplant rather than direct-seeded.
- Beans: You may produce your own beans from seed, or pick a bean type that is also good for eating, such as green beans, advises Darren Yaw in the release. Pole beans like using vertical space, but bush beans tend to be smaller and don’t require trellising. A two-gallon container is perfect for this project.
- Salad Greens: Grow salad greens in pots since they have a shallow root system and a fast growth rate. Spring and October are good times to plant salad greens for direct seeding. Shade-tolerant salad types are ideal for indoor gardening, because they have an insatiable appetite for sunlight, said Darren Yaw’s wife Emily.
- Tomatoes: Even more diminutive tomato cultivars will flourish well in containers of five gallons or less. To begin, seeds should be started indoors and transplanted outside in the summer, as tomatoes require ample sunlight. Crushed eggshells can be added to the soil to help prevent blossom end rot, a condition that results from a calcium shortage.
- Summer squash: You might be surprised to learn that you can grow squash in a five-gallon container. For a more manageable yield, pick a smaller variety, like Pattypan squash.
- Peas: Using vertical space to the fullest is essential while working in a limited area. You should start training peas after they are several inches tall and put them on a trellis or fence.
- Root veggies: One-gallon pots are great for growing root crops like radishes, turnips, and carrots, as they are particularly easy to direct-seed. Due to the intensity of heat that most kinds don’t like, keep them away from direct sunlight.
- Onions: If you do not have sufficient planting area for bulb onions, consider planting the popular spring onion variety, which can grow in one-gallon pots. Alternatively, you may use green onion tips that you’ve saved, or grow your own green onions from seed, and then direct-seed the onions.
