LEAMINGTON, ON - NatureFresh™ Farms is hitting the road again and may be headed to a city near you! This time around, it’s introducing the Greenhouse Education Center program, a mobile 38-foot-long greenhouse equipped with plants, innovative growing technology, and a Bumble Bee ecosystem. Led by impassioned student leaders interested in spreading the word about greenhouse grown produce, this program shares with retail stores, schools, and fairs why it’s so important to include fresh food in your daily life.

The NatureFresh Farms team created the Greenhouse Education Center in 2015 because it saw a gap in consumers’ knowledge about food’s journey from farm to table, according to a press release. Hoping to ameliorate this issue, the mobile unit shows consumers exactly how their food is grown in greenhouses. Upon visiting the unit, they can see the drippers, ventilation system, heating rails—everything it takes to grow fresh food. NatureFresh also explained that this behind-the-scenes look helps consumers understand how their food is grown and gets them excited about healthy eating.

Traveling with the mobile greenhouse is a number of passionate students, each with their own unique background. NatureFresh commented that this brings a fresh perspective to the greenhouse farming industry. The students’ experience ranges from Business to Agriculture to Health Sciences, but they’re all passionate about the future of fresh food. This brand new team be participating in over 70 different events across eastern North America, including parts of Ontario, and states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.
