Hello,
This is the about us section. When I was doing yardwork for a living in Colorado Springs,2017 age 23, I had a conundrum. What do I want to do with my life? I instead decided to ask a better question, what does the world need? It seemed to me that we have an abundance of High Rise buildings in our cities and so much empty vertical space between windows. In light of this vacant real estate and in combination with some of the issues that cities often face, polution, food shortages, labor shortages, lack of art I decided that the World needs plants on skyscrapers. If I invented a plant tube that could grow produce and live on a track, between the rows of windows on highrise buildings then I could funnel all that produce into a nonprofit. In addition to purifying the air and adding beauty to the city the vegetables could be sold for pennies on the dollar and the leftovers could be used to make free meals and teach cooking classes. This became the dream. For a while I was obsessed with this growing on the wall thing. Then I discovered shipping container farms and those are still a fascination. After working for a vertical farming company and not being stoked on my role there I decided to start my own. I bought a program from a company out of Canada that gave me a website, billing system, advertising material and tutorial on how to grow. I ran the company I now run, POTS using the method I had bought. I did direct to consumer, wholesale, restaurant sales and farmers markets. The process worked pretty well but I was ill equipped to run such an enterprise. It is now 1 year and 2 months later and I have just discovered a method for making progress growing this company into what it could be.
Looking forward to the next 3 months of getting set up and 6 months of providing consistent, high quality, local microgreens weekly.
