Evergreen Kosher Market in Monsey, New York, is debuting a revolutionary 20-foot high geoponic (soil-based) wall farm that lets customers not only choose clean, fresh-picked produce but also see exactly where it comes from.
The pesticide-free lettuce, kale, arugula, basil and cilantro from Evergreen”™s on-site farm are sold at competitive prices in individual pots; products are Star-K Kosher Certified for purity.
“We are gratified to be the first kosher supermarket in the country to introduce the vertical farm,” said Malki Levine of Evergreen. “Our customers are very much looking forward to buying fresh produce that is grown in our own backyard rather than being transported on long hauls from farms across the country. They will also appreciate the significantly reduced level of infestation, a major concern of kosher consumers.”
Evergreen”™s wall farm is the latest installation from Vertical Field, an Israeli ag-tech company that produces innovative vertical agricultural solutions.
Geoponic vertical farming yields a new crop every few days, ensuring fresh greens and herbs will always be in season.
