The honest value calculator
It's not built to beat supermarket prices. Here's what a harvest is worth, crop by crop.
Illustrative only, not a guarantee. Yields are from our own trials and will vary. Prices are NTUC FairPrice per-kg prices checked on 11 Nov 2026 for local pesticide-free produce. It is only a real saving if you would otherwise buy these vegetables. The S$1,300 system cost is not included, and we don't promise any payback period.
Crop choice decides the value.
- Kale is the strongest crop: 3.46 kg per cycle at about S$40.70/kg for pesticide-free kale.
- F1 Hybrid Special Pak Choy gives the biggest weight, 7.77 kg in 5 weeks.
- Lettuce compared with cheap regular lettuce only about breaks even.
- Produce alone pays back the system slowly. The bigger value is fresh food, learning and engagement.
Comparison prices per kg (FairPrice, 11 Nov 2026): lettuce, regular about S$6.00, local pesticide-free about S$24.80–28.00 · pak choy, regular about S$6.50, pesticide-free about S$13.10 · nai bai, pesticide-free about S$13.10 · choy sum, pesticide-free about S$16.90–19.40 · kale, pesticide-free about S$40.70.
