Indoor Ag-Con is delighted to announce a special addition to its conference menu in the form of -greenhouse grown produce kindly supplied by Village Farms.

“It’s vital that growers such as Village Farms engage with chefs, and this is why we work so closely with Chef Darren Brown and are pleased to collaborate with Indoor Ag-Con on its menu” commented Mike Degiglio.
‘We’re delighted to be partnering with Village Farms on this initiative, which illustrates once more the increasing importance of sustainable soil-less greenhouse grown produce in the US food supply chain; it’s one way in which we can include fresh, local produce in our conference menu during the winter season” added Nicola Kerslake, founder of Newbean Capital, Indoor Ag-Con’s host.
