“My family is originally from Holland, I grew up on a dairy farm, and I’ve been in the industry all my life. Talking with my parent’s friends who are immersed in the veggie industry, they recommended Iinvestigateoptions to produce lettuce in a sustainable way. I looked into the greenhouse and indoor vertical warehouse systems, but they could not meet my needs. I needed to minimize my risk, space and lower my labor costs.
Finding reliable people in this industry is difficult and with large warehouse space, dust and diseases also become an issue. I found CubicFarms was different from the other systems available. The system requires less labor, less space, and less energy provides better quality produce in a controlled environment, and is scalable as our business grows. I am building a farm for the future. My kids can become the next generation ofCubicFarmersand most importantly, we can now live our passion of providing healthy, local food for our community.”
