Yes. While we don't plan to be farm operators on a large scale, we do plan to have 1-2 shipping container farms in Canmore in the near future. We will offer our produce via local grocery stores and restaurants.
Do you only grow lettuce varieties?
No. We are currently growing quinoa and lettuce as an example of what our system can do. We plan to expand into other types of produce as we move forward.
Is your system available for in-home usage?
