"The uncertainty about levels of rainfall, the temperatures that are necessary in order to have the harvest that we've come to expect of over the last few centuries. There's no way to guarantee that going forward. But the idea of moving stuff indoors is now you can," explains Daniel Feinglos, founder of Agriculture du coin'.
The entry-level equipment costs around $100, and Feinglos believes you could save money in the end. "An average family could save over $1,000 a year on their grocery budget." What they're cooking up next is a plan to expand with two buildings on Park Avenue that will eventually house a full indoor farm, and they even plan to produce fish. Feinglos is looking forward to the next chapter.
"We are getting our own restaurants set up that will offer smoked fish and eggs, as well as unique salads that we are very much looking forward to sharing with people."
