Nicholas Metropulos, Executive Director at Marine Education Initiative about HyperLocal Farms: "We grow premium microgreens, sprouts, and edible flowers year-round, delivering unmatched quality to distributors, cruise lines, and restaurants throughout Florida."
"In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, South Florida faced supply chain disruptions and food scarcity. Determined to create a sustainable and reliable local food infrastructure, the team at Marine Education Initiative launched HyperLocal Farms."
"Embracing vertical farming, they built high-tech farms with advanced hydroponics and energy-efficient LED lighting. These farms optimized space and conserved water through closed-loop recycling. The founders collaborated with farmers, researchers, and sustainability experts, fostering partnerships and inspiring change."
HyperLocal Farms engaged schools, educating the next generation on sustainability while providing fresh produce to local soup kitchens.
Nicholas shares about his journey as the Executive Director of the Marine Education Initiative: "Nearly 10 years as Executive Director of Marine Education Initiative, and what a journey it's been! I'm incredibly proud of the impact we've made together, bringing access to environmental education, educating thousands of students, and providing hundreds of thousands of fresh meals.
This milestone would not be possible without the support of our amazing donors, dedicated board members, passionate volunteers, and hardworking staff. Each of you has played a vital role in our mission, and I am grateful for your unwavering commitment to making a difference.
Here's to the next decade of driving positive change, educating future generations, and protecting our oceans. Together, we're creating ripples that will resonate for years to come. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey!"
