While many autumn leaves were boldly showing their vibrant colors, this one simply stood out with its autumn bling on the boardwalk after a morning rain. This is for the group "Looking close... on Friday!" and the theme “ Autumn Leaves”
An small example of using hydroponics to grow herbs and salad greens, in the hallway at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre. (A retrofitted shipping container houses most of the plants.) 🌱 Info on the program is in the Description section here.
A.I. Overview:
The Churchill Northern Studies Centre (CNSC) operates a highly successful, year-round subarctic hydroponic food production project known as Rocket Greens.
Launched in the fall of 2017 in Churchill, Manitoba, this initiative was created to address severe food insecurity in the remote northern community. The project became especially critical after a massive spring storm in 2017 washed out the town’s only rail link, driving grocery prices to exorbitant levels.
🚀 The Technology & System:
The system is housed inside a 40-foot retrofitted shipping container designed by the Ottawa-based company Growcer.
Capacity:
It contains a nursery for 1,200 seedlings and 1,800 mature plant spots, functioning using a nutrient film technique (NFT).
Extreme Weather Performance:
The computer-controlled, heavily insulated climate unit successfully grows fresh food even when outside subarctic winter temperatures plunge to -45°C or lower.
Yield:
The facility yields roughly 400 to 450 units of fresh produce weekly without requiring any soil.
What They Grow:
The system is primarily used to cultivate variety of fresh leafy greens and herbs, including:
Leaf and butterhead lettuce
Kale, spinach, and arugula (the name "Rocket Greens" stems from arugula being known as "rocket", paying homage to the CNSC's history as a former rocket research range)
Bok choy
Fresh herbs like basil
📦 Community Impact & Distribution:
The initiative has dramatically transformed local access to fresh nutrition, reducing local leafy green prices significantly (e.g., bringing average prices down from over $7.00 to under $4.00). The harvest is distributed through several streams:
The Launch Box:
A weekly, tier-based subscription box delivering directly to Churchill households.
Local Commerce:
Supplying local grocery stores, restaurants, and the regional hospital cafeteria.
Food Sovereignty Programs:
Partnering with community groups and food banks to donate food, alongside offering subsidized trial boxes to cost-burdened households via the Nourish the North Project.
Since its inception, the project has grown exponentially, delivering over 60,000 units of fresh vegetables to the community and serving as a model for northern food .
