Congratulations. I appreciate the commitment to this work. What is your analysis of other businesses that are offering similar models? ....like Sky Vegetables or Harvest Power or others? A: Hi Deb. Thanks for your question and your support! Sky Vegetables has done well to demonstrate the concept of growing food in urban areas by using new or existing rooftops to add greenhouse food production areas. I'd be interested to see if their facility could be operated profitably without their assumed subsidy. Harvest Power provides PV Solar power to residential and commercial operations. The HeartFoods operations also include PV Solar to provide green power as part of our Net Zero Energy... - Q: Hello, I cannot access the Appendix B and the Form C itself is not downloading correctly for me.

Larger communities and cities will have multiple HeartFoods farms which are ideally located within the core of the community centers where housing, restaurants, hospitals, and schools are located, where an abundance of ... - Q: Thank you very much Janet. So if you will be using your own natural fertilizers, will your products legally be able to be called "organic," even though they are for the most part, I assume, actually recycled non-organic produce? Re the financial issue, putting aside the fact t... A: 1. Yes, the liquid fertilizer that is produced from food waste can be certified organic, as is the HeartFoods’ proprietary natural biological process for enhancing a “probiotic” type of nutrient mix for use in the hydroponic and aeroponic grow rooms. The fertilizer meets organic standards so that the food crops grown in the HeartFoods farms can also be certified as organic food.
