The company wishes to set the record straight.
Alterrus has just completed the first vertical, urban greenhouse in North America that uses its proprietary VertiCrop technology. Local Garden Vancouver (a wholly owned subsidiary of Alterrus) has developed and is operating this facility located on top of an underused, city-owned parking garage in downtown Vancouver.
Alterrus has invested extensively in research and development in the creation of its unique, proprietary system. The 6,000 sqft greenhouse produces leafy greens and herbs under the Local Garden brand for distribution to some of Vancouver’s food retailers and restaurants.
Contrary to public comments suggesting otherwise, Local Garden Vancouver is fully financed with private-sector funding and has successfully secured sales commitments for all of its produce, according to the company.
