Indoor Farms of America bridges gap with traditional U.S. agriculture

In what is a watershed transaction and a continuance of plans to integrate world class indoor agriculture equipment into traditional farming, Indoor Farms of America announces that it has sold the first two "warehouse" style farms to Co-Alliance, LLP one of the largest, oldest and most respected major locally owned Farmer Cooperative in the United States.

"With the sale of these farms, which will be up and running in the great state of Indiana in about 90 days from today, our company has achieved the first stage of the plans to have large scale indoor farming adopted by the very folks who have kept us fed in this country since its inception, and that is the traditional farmer", stated David Martin, CEO of Indoor Farms of America.

"Co-Alliance has been investigating several companies and the equipment available for the indoor agriculture space for some time", states Darren Radde, Business Development Manager at Co-Alliance. "Our team understands quality equipment, and after reviewing numerous growing platforms, we believe the equipment developed and manufactured by Indoor Farms of America will provide our Farmer Members with a viable means of supplementing their income, allowing them to farm new crops all year long, and be within 30 minutes to 2 hours delivery time to any major market they can serve from their existing farm."

John Graham, CFO of Co-Alliance, said: "When we visited with the team at Indoor Farms of America, they expressed to us that while their indoor growing equipment was designed to be superior in performance to anything else in the world, which makes them very "disruptive" in that space, Ron and Dave have a real desire to see existing traditional farmers embrace the technology."

Graham went on to say, "This means our farmers can take advantage of all our existing channels to market, our inherent ability to be close to those markets, which means our farmers can deliver fresh produce every day of the year from their farms. When the fields are covered in snow, they can produce income for their families. We like that."

The first of the two farms will be owned and operated by a long time family farming operation, who have an existing building as part of their farming operation in central Indiana, that will be converted to state of the art indoor growing facility at pretty minimal expense.
