"To me, it was just another week at Mnogin Greenhouse. For her, when they came in and they saw the Mnogin produce in the fridge, she said their eyes lit up, and they were excited to get that food. So it makes a big difference for the community, especially for those that are in need of fresh produce that otherwise wouldn't have that."
For growers it may feel like business as usual, but for your customers who now get access to fresh, nutritious greens, it could mean the world.

In a controlled growing environment, disease pressure is already significantly lower and a horizontal or vertical layout for your vertical farm isn’t going to be the deal breaker.
But why does Growcer like a horizontal layout?
Well there's a bunch of reasons:
- With a vertical layout, gravity is working against the plant, whereas horizontal layouts mimic nature
- There is a higher possibility of an uneven distribution of light and water along the vertical tower, making for a more stressful growing environment compared to a horizontal one.
- Horizontal layouts are easier (in our opinion) for operators!

Picking a vertical farm provider isn't an easy decision, but it becomes easier when you understand your top priorities.
Education and accessibility are the key decision criteria that saw Durham College select Growcer's Osiris Access Farm for The Barrett Centre of Innovation in Sustainable Urban Agriculture.
Since launching their farm a year ago, the farm has become a hub for fresh produce, education, and community engagement.
What's an "Osiris Access?" It's a Growcer modular farm outfitted for accessibility!
