IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Hydroponics is the practice of growing plants without soil. Instead, the plants are grown in a nutrient-rich solution and the necessary nutrients are delivered directly to the roots. This method allows for a more efficient use of water and space, as well as a higher yield of crops. Additionally, hydroponic farming eliminates the need for pesticides and herbicides, making your produce healthier and safer for consumption.

Shipping container farms represent a cutting-edge approach to farming that leverages technology, efficiency, and sustainability. These repurposed containers offer a controlled environment for growing crops year-round, regardless of external conditions. Whether you are an urban dweller, a community organization such as a school or university, or a forward-thinking business, shipping container farms provide a scalable and versatile solution for cultivating a variety of crops, using ten percent of the land, and less than ten percent of the water.

A single shipping container farm requires about 20-30 hours of labor per week, so one person can comfortably operate two containers!

The main benefit to investing in a pre-owned container farm over a new unit is the price to start growing. The start-up cost is significantly lower than that of a new unit, allowing you to retain more of your initial budget for monthly expenses such as consumables, utilities, cleaning supplies, etc.

There are many variables that determine what your crop yields will be. Equipment type, nutrient delivery, and crop selection play a large role in crop turnover. However, most of our 40' container farms have an estimated annual harvest of 2-4 tons of produce! Talk about a lot on your plate...

When operated correctly, shipping container farms are very profitable! According to this article by Global Garden, the average net profit for a custom built shipping container farm is over $50,000 annually after all monthly expenses such as land leasing, financing, consumables, utilities, and labor costs. If you own land, are purchasing out-right, and will be operating the container yourself, that number will only increase!
