KC/In Conversation:  On Bringing The Farm To The Store. Literally.

Today’s conversation is with Joe Blunda, who is working with Roche Bros. on a unique project – he actually has turned a large shipping container into a vertical farm that is providing greens to four of the retailer’s stores.  And here’s the kicker:  the vertical farm is located in the parking lot of a Roche Bros. store.  Talk about local!  (The technical term is Controlled Environment Agriculture.)

If you’re interested in this project, you can reach Joe Blunda at [email protected]

Below is a short video that illustrates the vertical farm, and some pictures.
