Biodyne USA and Trellis Growing Systems, two privately held ag-tech companies based in Fort Wayne, IN, have announced a new joint venture: Trellis Growing Solutions.
“Trellis Growing Solutions will bring together the experience and expertise of our companies to offer our customers turnkey solutions for small- to medium-sized private horticulture,” said Gil Farley, president of Biodyne USA.
Starting with hops
Trellis Growing Solutions’ flagship product—IBEX Hops Growing System—will be an affordable system marketed to home- and micro-brewing communities across the country. The system combines a versatile, trellis-style structure with soil science to help users more easily grow, train and harvest. IBEX Hops Growing System launches in Fall 2019 and additional information will be available at IBEXGrows.com.
Trellis Growing Solutions’ system is the first of its kind, and the engineering and biotechnology used to develop it make it possible for hobbyists, semi-professionals and small commercial farmers alike to grow their own hops without the expensive infrastructure and acreage previously required to do so. Launching with a focus on hops, Trellis Growing Solutions will grow to serve a deep pipeline of high-value, specialty crop applications.
“The brewers we serve want to control every part of their brewing process,” said Richard Barnes, founder, Trellis Growing Systems. “These are smart, hands-on folks, who covet the opportunity to grow and use their own hops in the beers they brew, share and compete with.”
