US: “Container Farms Seemed To Be The Most Predictable”

"We changed our seed varieties a few times at first to get the exact mix we wanted. Today, we easily harvest 1,000 to 1,100 pounds every time on a 21-24 day cycle," says Thomas Gram, Pure Farms' Head grower and Co-founder.

Pure Farms is a Wisconsin-based container farm, family owned and operated by Mike and Linda Graf and Thomas and Nikki Grams. Mike said he wanted to start with something that was small-scale that could grow over time, and container farms seemed to be the most predictable. Today, the company operates one AmpVPS and two AmpNFT farms.

He adds, "I looked at different container farms from Canada to Belgium and visited several greenhouses. However, greenhouses have a lot of things you can't control, and some of the container farms couldn't grow plants as big as they said they could." Yet, on a trip to South Carolina, Mike visited AmplifiedAg, and his confidence in container farming strengthened.
