Exploring New Possibilities in Growing

摘要

From the outside, Local Greens Farm looks like your typical warehouse. However, this highly controlled structure has awakened new possibilities in growing fresh food. This two-and-half-year-old company is proactively growing local produce in a limitedspace, using vertical equipment and LED lighting. The arrival to this growing style for co-founder and general manager Ron Mitchell came from investing decades researching and experimenting with a variety of growing trends.Wanting to learn about horticulture, Ron began his adventure in young adulthood, where he had the privilege to work with and learn from an experienced grower."It was the right person; he took the time to teach me about growing," said Ron. Equipped with the foundations, the grower assigned Ron to 1 square acre, immediately applying his newly learned skills.
