Farms
Creating Green
Collar Jobs
At EcoLeaf we want to grow more than fresh,
nutritious vegan certified produce.
We want to grow farmers that can provide high-quality food for their own communities year-round.
Unlike most outdoor farms, our indoor vertical farms grow food 365 a days regardless of the weather outside.
That means that our farms provide year round employment opportunities for the communities they serve.
We refer to these jobs as Green-Collar Jobs and they are igniting a brand new industry, the urban farm. Green-Collar
Jobs don't require a high-priced college education - only a willingness to learn and get a little dirt under your fingernails.
And because we believe in equal work for equal pay, jobs on our farms must offer a
sustainable income to their employees.
Building Indoor Vertical
Urban Farms
At EcoLeaf our indoor vertical farming system
has completely optimized the science of indoor growing.
Our main innovation is destiny. Our vertical farms can grow more food in less space using less energy and water than any other farm on earth.
We've accomplished this by developing and patenting hardware and grow algorithms that allow our farms to produce the same amount of
food in 36 square feet as most farms can grow in an entire acre. However none of this matters if it's not profitable. That's why our vertical farms
don't look like a sci-fi fantasy, they were designed to be functional and affordable. Because if our farms are too expensive to turn a profit,
no one will get to eat.
How the Farm Works
We pre build all of the vertical farming structures
at EcoLeaf to maximize production.
We have a factory where we pre-build all of the interchangeable parts and components necessary to build and/or repair a
farm very quickly. If a pump breaks in a traditional vertical farm you're out of business for an at least a day by time you drain
the system and replace the pump. This is not the case with our vertical urban agriculture system because we've isolated every
major component. With our system, farmers can quickly and easily repair any part of the system while still keeping the rest of
the farm growing. Our farms also take very little time to build. The typical time to build a vertical farm is nine months to a year,
our farms go up in a matter of days.
