Post# of 527
Advanced Container Technologies (OTC: ACTX), the exclusive U.S. distributor of self-contained, automated, indoor “micro-farms” called GrowPods, has announced a new line of automated modular GrowPod systems designed to be a transportable controlled environment farm. According to the announcement, the new smaller system is perfect for resorts, restaurants, grocer and individuals wishing to grow ultraclean, chemical-free produce, fruits and vegetables. The new systems are designed in response to a growing number of five-star resorts and leading hotels that are using similar systems to provide guests with gourmet cuisine experiences; the food produced in these systems are free from chemicals, herbicides and pathogens and can be harvest at the peak of flavor and freshness for quality. The new GrowPod systems are built into 20-foot insulated shipping containers; they can also be customized to include a variety of features, including a five-tier, five-channel growing system with a hand sink, nursery and prep area. The new systems also offer a secure entry door with an air curtain, stainless steel work tops, commercial-grade flooring and NSF-rated walls as well as complete environmental control. “It’s a protected environment so the resort doesn’t have to worry about too much sun or rain or heat or insects,” said Advanced Technologies Containers CEO Doug Heldoorn in the press release. “And since the container is a closed-loop system, water doesn’t evaporate, unlike a typical garden or farm, which provides significant reduction in water usage over conventional farming.”
