VividGro® GroBars™ Chosen Following Excellent Result in Side-by-Side Product Testing

October 4, 2018

CHICAGO, Oct. 4, 2018 — In the search for the ideal lighting solution for the sprouting process, Traders Hill Farm™ conducted multi-month, head-to-head testing of three lighting options, measuring GroBar™ performance against two leading competitors. Before the trial period was over, the results were clear and measurable: GroBar produced greater output with higher energy efficiency, cooler bulb temperatures, easy installation, a longer warranty period and superior customer service at a lower price point. Without a single drawback, Traders Hill Farm chose VividGro to support their rapid farm expansion. “We decreased our crop failures significantly in our germination and propagation phases with the GroBar,” said Tracy Nazzaro, President at Traders Hill.

On a mission to provide high-value, locally grown produce, Traders Hill Farm created an innovative, symbiotic indoor agriculture system, resulting in a five-fold growth in production in two years. Now the largest controlled environment agriculture operator in Northeast Florida, Traders Hill harvests their lettuce in the morning so it can be served at local restaurants by evening. Their closed loop aquaponics system begins in tanks of sustainably grown tilapia. The fish waste is converted via nitrification into nitrogen-rich nutrient-dense fertilizer water that flows though large grow beds and then gets recycled back to the fish tanks as pH-neutral water. Bright, high-quality lighting completes the design for nutrient-dense, optimal growth.
