Philosophy/ History and Future
Salvatore is deeply committed to mastering commercial hydroponics, dedicating himself daily to achieving ambitious goals that once seemed impossible. He began by taking over his grandfather's modest farm, which originally supplied local vegetable markets. With a clear vision for growth, Salvatore founded Da'Salvatore Farms in 2021. Through innovative techniques and strategic planning, the farm has expanded exponentially over the years, now operating across multiple locations and quadrupling its growing area. Yet, Salvatore sees this as only the beginning of his journey. At just 20 years old, alongside Kiara, he is driven to push the boundaries of what’s possible and create a future beyond conventional limits.
"I believe everyone should have the availability to purchase affordable high quality fresh fruit and vegetables. I will do my very best to innovate the industry and make this dream happen. Throughout my 3 years currently in the industry, I also see that my vision is possible." - Salvatore
Salvatore is actively engineering the future of hydroponics while upholding sustainable business practices at Da'Salvatore Farms. He emphasizes four key pillars for the future of hydroponics: economic sustainability, environmental responsibility, ethical practices, and continuous optimization. Salvatore is confident that his goals will be achieved, but he remains committed to respecting and valuing the people who support him along the way. He believes that with greater support comes even greater success, and his journey is built on collaboration and mutual respect.
"Even if I have no support or help to reach my goals, they will still be complete via the efforts of my dedication and work. I will make sure I can help as many people as I can and be a teacher for the next generation. The only thing stopping me is my own limitations"- Salvatore
"Sometimes my brother's ambitions are well over the moon, haha. We work together, which I make sure to help him focus on the right paths and sort out any tedious issues that might get in his way for innovation."- Kiara
At Da'Salvatore, maintaining strong relationships with business partners and influencers is a top priority. Salvatore places great emphasis on ethical business practices, firmly believing that "if you can't uphold good business practices, then you're not running a good business." This commitment to integrity is at the heart of Da'Salvatore's operations, fostering trust and long-term success in every partnership.
Salvatore is always open to talking to ambitious people. Do not be afraid to contact him on Instagram, LinkedIN or email if you need him to talk to peers or discuss ideas!
