Hello, Neighbor.
We're Greenway Drip — a mother-and-son team from the Northeast Arts District. We created a product because we couldn't find one that already existed: a solar-powered drip irrigation kit for your rain barrel, made for people who grow food and give a dam about how they do it.
This is The Drip Drop. Short, honest, useful. Let's get into it.
Editor's note: Fair warning — we have a lot of feelings about water and agriculture, and we are not afraid to use puns. Proceed with caution. There will be more.
Closed Loop, Open Sky.
Your rain barrel catches what falls from the sky. Our kit turns it into a fully automated drip irrigation system — powered entirely by solar, delivering rainwater straight to your roots on a schedule you set once and forget. No grid energy. No tap water.
Six Parts. One System.
Everything you need in one box. No hardware store runs, no adapters, no splicing wires in the rain.
If You've Biked It, You Already Know.
If you've biked the Midtown Greenway on a summer morning, you know what we mean. Minneapolis has a particular relationship with green space — people here compost, save seed, know their neighbors' tomato varieties. That trail running through the heart of the city inspired the name and the mission. We wanted to create something that belonged here.
Hyper-local food deserves hyper-local tools. A rain barrel irrigation system is the most direct link you can have between the sky and your salad bowl.
