Gordon Food Service, Square Roots to construct first urban farm campus
This partnership brings together technology, agriculture, young farmers and scalability in a model that could revolutionize today's food systems.
Gordon Food Service and Square Roots, Brooklyn, N.Y., announced plans for their partnership’s first urban farm campus location, to be constructed on the site of Gordon Food Service’s headquarters in Wyoming, Mich.
Plans for the flagship farm campus include 10 specially designed Square Roots shipping containers in direct production with four additional containers providing operational support. The containers will occupy less than two acres of Gordon Food Service’s 50-acre headquarters site, and are projected to produce more than 50,000 pounds of herbs annually.
