OptiCimatefarm kitchen Hydroponics allows us to experiment with all kinds of herbs and beautiful flowers and greens, some as unfamiliar to us as they might be to you, and to grow things that people tend to associate with certain seasons, anytime we want.And because it turns the prevailing farm-to-table philosophy on its head, if you think about. Various flowers and herbs in the middle of a Chicago and Paris winter, plucked moments before we serve them? This is quite literally as fresh as it gets.
