Hub Model
We will localize the food chain by providing each region with a hub operation that will grow large volumes of produce based on the food desires by the local community. But, don't make the mistake of thinking that we are going to be a typical new age farm that you heard about.
What do we mean? Keep reading!
Our core benefits of the hub operation:
Our First Hub
We are intending to build our first hub operation in the Pittsburgh, PA region. The hub will serve as our corporate headquarters as well as a standard for the other future hub operations. The operations will consist of two phases.
Phase 1 - Indoor Growing Systems
The first phase will involve the construction of a warehouse structure to enclose growing systems for leafy green, lettuce shrimp and salmon. The warehouse will also enclose packaging equipment coolers and loading docks. A separate building will also provide free daycare services for our employees.
Leafy Greens and Lettuce
We will grow 500,000 lbs per year
Estimated revenue -
$4 million
Salmon
We will grow 3.9 million lbs per year
Estimated revenue -
$11 million
Shrimp
We will grow 2 million lbs. per year.
Estimated revenue -
$8 million
Phase 2 - Greenhouse Growing Systems
The second phase will involve the construction of two 4-acre greenhouses. The organic waste from these greenhouses will enable us to generate our own liquid fertilizer for both the hub and the franchise satellite farms, so that we cn maintain lower operation costs and operate a sustainable farm.
Tomatoes
We will grow 2 million lbs per year
Estimated revenue -
$4 million
Strawberries
We will grow 1.2 million lbs per year
Estimated revenue -
$2.8 million
