Frequently Asked Questions

A vertical farm is a type of agriculture where crops are grown in vertically stacked layers in a controlled environment. This allows for year-round production, regardless of weather conditions. Vertical farming can be used to produce a variety of crops, including fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

Vertical farming has a number of benefits, including year-round production, reduced water usage, and decreased reliance on pesticides and other chemicals. Vertical farming can also help to reduce food waste, as crops can be harvested as needed.

Northern Greens is the brand name for produce grown with QuantoTech vertical farming systems. By manufacturing our own vertical farming technology we are able adapt the equipment to grow the highest quality produce and consistently add new crops.

Vertical farming itself is not an organic method of agriculture in Canada; however, our vertically farmed produce is cleaner than organic produce as we use no sprays or pesticides and our produce is grown indoors in a controlled environment with minimal handling.

All northern greens produce is grown without pesticides or sprays. Because our produce is grown indoors in a climate controlled, vertical, hydroponic system, there is no need for pesticides.

Northern Greens produce is grown and consumed within the community each farm is located. Our produce travels a small fraction of the distance of traditionally grown produce. Our vertical, hydroponic growing techniques, and proprietary grow recipes, allow us to use a fraction of the water typically used by traditional agriculture. All of these benefits minimize our GHG emissions over traditional farms.
