With the use of sun and minimal reliance on <br /> artificial light, energy efficiency is maximized.The current site rests on a 64-acre purchased <br /> parcel that can potentially expand up to 300 acres. <br /> The growing and packing systems are the most advanced in the industry,allowing for very <br /> minimal human hands touching the product. Robotics, sensors and video technology are installed <br /> throughout the greenhouse and the harvesting area. This streamlines our farm to table process <br /> and gives our customers peace of mind that they are getting their greens safely and sooner for a <br /> better-quality experience. <br /> The current(and all future additional) greenhouses deploy advanced automated growing systems <br /> that control and regulate all processing, growing,harvesting and production evolutions in the <br /> produce cycle.The greenhouse uses innovative climate management technologies to monitor and <br /> control the heating,the lighting,the air movement,general atmosphere,and concentration of <br /> CO2. <br /> Multiple screens in the greenhouse growing enclosures help manage light and temperature.The <br /> operations are also economically sustainable, utilizing recycling and using an estimated 90% less <br /> water compared to field grown lettuce or operating in a fully pest free environment. <br /> As the greens grow,automated gutters move and adjust to allow for increased spacing between <br /> plants. This helps the company achieve space efficiency throughout the facility. Labor efficiency <br /> is also significantly improved through Pure Green's automatic seeding,harvesting, and packing <br /> technology. <br /> Food safety is also top of mind at Pure Green.The indoor farm environment is pesticide-free and <br /> uses less water, meaning Pure Green's products are fresh,crisp,and offer the buy-side a long <br /> shelf life.Unique,high-quality varieties distributed to a select region maximize natural resources <br /> and minimize shrink and overall waste. <br />
