Our Story
At 297 Farm, we believe that the future of Aruba depends on strengthening the connection between our land, our people, and the food we eat. Founded with a vision to create a healthier, more resilient, and sustainable food system, we are committed to cultivating fresh, high-quality produce right here on our island.
For decades, Aruba has relied heavily on imported food. While this system has kept supermarket shelves full, it also leaves our community vulnerable to global supply chain disruptions, rising costs, and products that travel thousands of miles before reaching our tables. At 297 Farm, we are changing that. By using innovative farming techniques such as hydroponics, raised-bed cultivation, and climate-smart practices, we produce fresh, local vegetables and herbs in a way that is efficient, responsible, and environmentally conscious.
Our farm is more than just a place where food is grown—it is a hub of collaboration and progress. We work closely with local partners, schools, and organizations to raise awareness about the importance of food security and to inspire the next generation to value sustainable agriculture. Every crop we harvest and every innovation we adopt is guided by our respect for Aruba’s natural resources and our commitment to preserving them for future generations.
Our mission is simple but powerful: to reduce Aruba’s dependence on imported food, strengthen local food security, and build a more sustainable and self-reliant future for our island. With every seed we plant, we take one step closer to making that vision a reality.

Our Herbs
Island Mix: blend of mildly flavored brassicas contains mizuna, cabbage, kale, and kohlrabi. According to some studies, microgreens can contain up to 40 times more nutrients than their mature counterparts. For example, broccoli microgreens have been found to contain 50 times more sulforaphane, a cancer-fighting compound, than mature broccoli. Eating a variety of microgreens can help you get a wide range of nutrients that your body needs to function properly.
