One of our customers shared this gorgeous salad including our tender kale. Always delivered within 24 hours of harvest (usually 6 hours!) so nutrient levels are at the max, so tender there’s no need to massage. All year long. Mmm!

So what is special about Strawberry Field Greens? The answers include health, delicious local food, and a sustainable earth. But let’s focus on that delicious food aspect for this post. This is an amazing recipe we encourage you to try if you are a lover of pesto. Now, we do love traditional pesto recipes that include basil, pine nuts and Parmesan, but this recipe is different, unexpected, and simply fabulous. It includes crops we grow - arugula, cilantro, and jalapeño. Delicious and nutritious, how can you beat that? Give it a try, and let us know what you think!

Creamy, tasty avocado pesto pasta with just the right amount of spice. Healthy, nut-free, and ready in less than 20 minutes! Perfect for quick dinners.

And… Touchdown! And in the last photo you can see a bit of the equipment - water tank, nutrient tanks, reverse osmosis system, fans. For you engineering types, there will be more on the mechanics of this to come in future posts.

Yikes! It was something to watch, and just a little nerve wracking, but the pros knew what they were doing.

So, here’s a little bit about our hydroponic farm. Most people think of farms as land, soil, greenhouses, etc. Believe it or not, our high tech farm is inside a retrofitted shipping container. We researched over several years where to purchase. We ended up choosing a firm called Farm Box located near Denver, Colorado. Our farm traveled from Denver to Wasa, and arrived September 17. (Gwen Wellington, you’ll appreciate the truck that hauled her up here!) As you can see, her arrival involved a crane to lift her off the bed of the truck and into place on our property.

Wow! We just want to shout a huge thank you to all you wonderful people for liking our page. Some of you even shared it with your friends, which is amazing. You guys are awesome. Thank you so much for your encouragement, and helping us get established online!

I am attaching a photo of Mike, our (big) kid-who-loves-to grow-things. This picture was taken when we were first setting up the “farm.” Behind Mike are three very long “grow walls,”which will accommodate over 4,100 plants at a time. Each grow wall has a light wall on either side. The walls are movable. Can’t wait to explain more about how the system works in future posts. But for now, we are SO grateful for all of you!

We’re super excited to introduce you to Strawberry Field Greens! This story started 60 years ago in Ohio when a little boy had his own backyard garden patch. When he grew up, he became a psychologist, but his love of growing never waned. He studied vertical hydroponic indoor farming and was intrigued by growing high nutrient produce locally, 12 months a year, even in harsh winter conditions in Alaska and Canada. He brought his professional and personal interests together when he helped launch Alaska Seeds of Change in Anchorage in 2016.

Now in 2021, Strawberry Field Greens is launching in the East Kootenays of British Columbia. We are a year-round, vertical hydroponic farm using state-of-the-art technology, growing the highest quality fresh produce, without pesticides or herbicides, using only non-GMO seeds, and we deliver within 24 hours of harvest.

There’s more to come on this story! We’ll show you our high-tech farm, including its momentous arrival in little Wasa, BC. We’ll say more about why this approach to sustainable local food is so important to our health and our planet. We’ll show you how it works, where you’ll find our freshest greens, herbs, and berries, and we’ll share “nutritarian” recipes too!

Eat well, be well!

Our best,
Mike and June
