From One Farmer to Many
A Lab Born From the Needs of Local Farmers & Families
Clean Water Lab began when founder Lee Ewing realized his in-house testing was helping more than just his own farm. What started as a way to ensure food safety on a sprout farm quickly became something bigger. Today, that same commitment powers a trusted lab serving farms, homes, and facilities across the region.
