Indoor Growing System Provides Large-Scale Local,
Organic Produce Year-Round

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."
