NeoNutes is working with Futurpreneur to purchase a fully automated modular grow pod fitted with all the necessary technology to grow highly nutritious lettuce in a controlled environment, year-round. This system allows them to provide a consistent supply of nutritious greens to restaurants, grocers, and individual subscribers in Brandon, Manitoba.
Neonutes’ commitment to agricultural sustainability garnered them Brandon’s Green Business Award in 2022 as well as a loyal customer base which includes Brandon area restaurants, the Heritage Co-op, and a number of individual subscribers.
They hope that as their business expands, they will be able to acquire more grow pods and the chance to develop a pilot program to provide fresh greens in Northern Indigenous communities.
