TerraSphere
Systems, LLC Celebrates New Partnership with
Squamish Nation and Choices Markets
Vancouver,
BC- TerraSphere Systems, LLC, a local Vancouver business,
is pleased to announce an ongoing partnership between Squamish
Nation leaders and Choices Markets, British Columbia's leading
grocer for gourmet and organic foods. The Squamish Nation has
purchased twenty TerraSphere growth carousels for the production
of basil and herbs that will be sold exclusively in eight Choices
Markets across the region. TerraSphere Systems, LLC designs
and builds highly efficient systems, called growth carousels,
which provide a natural means of growing organic fruits and
vegetables in an indoor environment. Revolutionizing the way
communities access fresh, organic produce, TerraSphere Systems
rely on clean technology to create ideal growing conditions
for commercially desirable crops. Nick Brusatore, Technical
Director for TerraSphere says, "The Choices Markets purchase
from The Squamish Nation demonstrates that TerraSphere growth
carousels cultivate high-quality produce for the most discerning
of tastes."
The
Squamish Nation are descendants of the Coast Salish Aboriginal
peoples who now live in the present day Greater Vancouver area.
They are involved in several multi- million dollar business
ventures throughout the region and see the TerraSphere growth
carousels as a unique agricultural opportunity.
"TerraSphere
provides a highly efficient, technologically innovative way
to grow plants," said Chief Gibby Jacob. "It is a
way to feed the people. For the Squamish Nation becoming leaders
at the forefront of technological innovation is something that
we embrace and encourage for our young people, and future generations."
Choices
Markets have been steadfast suppliers of local and organic produce
to the BC community for nearly 20 years. Mark Vickars, Choices
Markets CEO, states, "Choices' focus remains on supplying
our communities with natural, organic foods, and our venture
into this partnership is in line with our principles. Thus far,
The Squamish Nation has supplied us with impressive crops of
fresh basil. Without a doubt, it's a product we're proud to
carry at Choices Markets."
