New to Container Farming?
Here's a list of frequently asked questions from customers.
Container farming, also known as vertical farming or indoor farming, is a method of growing crops in a controlled environment within shipping containers. These containers are often equipped with hydroponic or aeroponic systems, LED lights for photosynthesis, and climate control systems. The goal is to maximize the amount of crops that can be produced in a small space, regardless of external weather conditions.

Container farming offers several benefits over traditional farming. It allows for year-round crop production, independent of weather and season. It uses significantly less water and land compared to traditional farming, making it a more sustainable option. The controlled environment reduces the need for pesticides and herbicides, leading to cleaner, healthier produce. It also allows for farming in urban areas, reducing the distance food needs to travel to reach consumers, which can help reduce carbon emissions.
A wide variety of crops can be grown in a container farm, including leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, and kale, herbs like basil and mint, and other crops like strawberries and fodder. The specific crops that can be grown may depend on the specific setup of the container farm and the technology used.

The cost of setting up a container farm can vary widely depending on the size of the farm, the technology used, and other factors. The cost could range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Ongoing costs include electricity, water, nutrients for the plants, and maintenance of the systems.
The climate in a container farm is controlled using a combination of heating, cooling, and ventilation systems, as well as LED lights that can be adjusted to provide the optimal light spectrum for plant growth. This allows for precise control over the temperature, humidity, and light levels, which can be adjusted to create the ideal conditions for each type of crop. This level of control can lead to faster growth rates and higher yields compared to traditional farming.
Container farming can be more sustainable than traditional farming in several ways. It uses less water, as the hydroponic or aeroponic systems recycle water, and it requires less land, as crops are grown vertically. It also reduces the need for pesticides and herbicides, which can have harmful environmental impacts. However, it does require electricity, which can contribute to carbon emissions if it's not sourced from renewable sources. Additionally, the production and disposal of the materials used in container farms, such as the containers themselves and the LED lights, can also have environmental impacts.

Design & Configuration
All of our designs are derived from the Lite Shell concept. This basic configuration provides a climate-controlled system complete with all electrical, plumbing and HVAC. From there we outfit the container with unique components specific to your cultivar; leafy greens, mushrooms, hemp, fodder, or microgreens. The feedback we’ve received from farmers is that they want to service and maintain their own equipment. That’s why we use commercial off-the-shelf components where possible. This in turn provides our customers with the benefit of proven design and continued support, without limitations our competitor’s proprietary systems may impose.
