About Us

Good Luck Gardens is on a mission to grow as much good luck in as many gardens as possible. The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself, and grow for others. In parallel to growing food for the community, we support new or existing farmers with fundraising, resources, volunteers, improvement projects, emergency assistance, and more.

Good Luck Gardens is in the planning and development phase to establish small technology based farms in locations across the world. We believe in a paradigm shift to a world of "Near-Zero" mile food in which produce is grown as close to the consumer as possible. The typical head of lettuce travels an average of 1,500 miles to its consumer. Good Luck Gardens will use turn-key aquaponic and hydroponic systems built out of shipping containers to grow the majority of its produce. We are focusing on leafy greens, herbs, microgreens, and mushrooms. Our pilot location will focus on the community of St. Croix, USVI - a Caribbean island community that imports nearly 99% of their produce which is subject to supply chain and weather delays. Each day produce ages in a cargo container either at the port in Miami or traveling across the country it's nutritional value is drastically decreased. The community deserves easier and more affordable access to healthy and fresh produce. 

We understand that we cannot solve these problems alone. Good Luck Garden's goal is to grow "good luck" in as many gardens as possible. Besides offering consulting services abroad, we will focus on partnering with St. Croix farmers that need help starting, growing, or improving their operation.
This "good luck" will be through a variety of services such as but not limited to: 

  • Fundraising
  • Volunteering
  • Shared Resources, Equipment & Tools
  • Grant Writing
  • Specific Improvement Projects
  • Emergency Assistance & Rapid Problem Solving
  • Accounting, Financial, and Retirement Assistance 
  • Ask about our produce delivery routes
  • Renewable Energy and Clean Water Projects
  • Contact us and request something specific!

Adam Fay

Founder & CEO

So why does an engineer with a well-established career want to switch to farming? Simply put, I have the intrinsic motivation to help communities around the world with clean water, healthy produce, and renewable energy. Long story short, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to go on business trips to India and Serbia, both of which would change my paradigm forevermore. India taught me to slow down, appreciate and care. Serbia enlightened me to my next adventure. For our first night in Serbia, dinner was a restaurant built over a stream with a mill being turned by the water flow to crush grain into flour. The stream was dammed and reservoir ponds were built on both sides with a lock and damn system. Vegetables, herbs, and other produce were grown along the shore. They even had trout being farmed in these ponds! The respect I had for this business was unexplainable. Here this family had created a sustainable restaurant that generates bread, fish, and produce. I was amazed. What I didn’t realize until later - I had just witnessed aquaponics! I decided that I needed to invent something to bring this science to the masses. After many nights of research, I realized what I was looking for was already invented. I knew the bigger problem to solve was the awareness of such a useful science. And that is when I decided the best course of action was to take responsibility. Hence the creation of Good Luck Gardens, to produce as much food, water, and renewable energy as I can - and share it with others.
