CAN (NB): Local by Atta to rebuilt with GE LEDs after devastating fire
Local by Atta — located in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada — produces a variety of lettuces, basil, kale, Swiss chard, bok choy, cilantro and microgreens. Products are sold at farmers markets, health food stores, grocery stores, restaurants and through a weekly basket program. The basket program is expected to increase sales as the company looks to expand with pick up at local businesses, municipal buildings and its new production facility.
A fire in January 2016 destroyed the interior of the building including $10,000 worth of crops that had just been planted.
They are now using the GE Arize Lynk LED Growing System.
The Local by Atta team (from left to right) includes: Brandon Petitpas, assistant farmer; Jesse Howatt, co-founder and farmer; Nick Barron, assistant farmer; Julian Howatt, co-founder and farmer, and Svitlana Rastovska, assistant farmer.
