RUSTY OWEN MCKAY hasn't added a story.
The local urban farmer of the future.
Out of a warehouse in Calgary Alberta the five elements to grow have been achieved. From system design, crop selection, lighting, R&D has been completed. We achieved was said impossible, "I WAS TOLD I WOULD FAIL" Well there was no failure, 18 months solid growing and selling and the words I hear " DO YOU HAVE MORE"
Personal investment to date $1,100,00.00
From an empty ware house to a fully racked multi layer hydroponic operation. The process of seeding to germination to harvest all was learned, did we fail yes we did but success was to be mine in the end.
This pilot plant reaching 100% production, everything grown is sold and we have proven we can grow a high quality produce 100% of the time 24/7 and have done so for the past 18 months but still the words are" DO YOU HAVE MORE"
Multi Crops multi layers
These crops are harvested 14-15 days from germination
To expand, Your HELP!! is needed, funding is required to expand the growing footprint.
Leasing space, racking, power upgrades, lighting, hvac upgrades, ponds etc are what is needed.
What I have is proven and is real. Only having 7 days off in 32 months shows my commitment and this effort along with my investment reflects in my charactor and beliefs. There were times I had fallen and could not get back up but got up anyways. It is from my heart that I ask for your help.
"WHATEVER THE MIND CAN CONCEIVE IT CAN ACHIEVE"
My phone just keeps on ringing and my reply remains the same, I sure would like to help you and then the reply on the other end " Please let us know when you can supply as we are interested in everything you grow" The day is coming "How may I help you"
Ten days to go and I will be devoting 100% of me to Urban Green.
On the our way with two major break throughs, 1 1/2 years of research on led lighting complete and results that put a big smile on my face. 9 months of testing complete and this will increase the muliti-layer production by 50% another big smile " I am Grateful for all involved" Now this was a real team effort.
