Dallas Celebrity Chef Franchesca Nor, owner of Dive Coastal Cuisine, has partnered with CEA Advisors, farm developers, to design and build a new indoor farm and greenhouse complex to supply her restaurant and catering business with hyper-local gourmet produce.

Hidden away on a recently purchased 7-acre property outside of Dallas, Franchesca's farm will focus on providing leafy greens, herbs, and other gourmet produce for the Dive Coastal Farm to Table menu.

The CEA portion of the project utilizes two 40' shipping container farms from Growtainer®. Each Growtainer has 480 square feet of multi-level growing area in a climate-controlled environment. In addition, greenhouses will be built on the property to expand production.

Farm-to-table Francesca said, "Our focus is on growing locally to reduce food miles, practicing sustainability, utilizing CEA and planet-friendly farming practices. We want to pamper our guests with the real farm-to-table experience that locally grown gourmet products provide."
