Go behind the scenes into how a Growcer farm is made!
A little history...
In 2020, we moved our manufacturing to Canada (we’re now 100% designed and built in Canada) and also moved from licensing (buying from a third-party) the farm technology to building our own in-house. We learned a lot in the four years we had spent in vertical farming and wanted to put our insights and research into action and build a Growcer farm that would work sustainably, reliably, and for more people in more places.
We switched from shipping containers to custom-built modular structures because we could:
- Increase growing space
- Improve insulation (and therefore energy efficiency to keep operating costs reasonable)
- Improve temperature control (this is big for plant health and remote communities)
- Increase lifespan (up to 30 years instead of 25-years or less for shipping containers)
- Increase working aisle space to improve operator experience (more room to move around!)
- Design the farm with a slanted roof to reduce the collection of snow or rain water and minimize risk for our customers
