Village Farms completes first planting of new greenhouse

Village Farms has completed planting of 15 acres (6 hectares) of its new 30 acre greenhouse in Monahans Texas. The remaining 15 acres will be planted in January. The
Company is in the final stages of completing the greenhouse and support structures, which will be fully operational prior to the initial harvest in late February.

The company broke ground on the 30 acre greenhouse in Monahans in June 2011. The greenhouse is based on the Company's innovative proprietary technology termed
GATES, which has demonstrated yields exceeding 100 kilograms per square meter per year in the Company's existing GATES research greenhouse. The Monahans
greenhouse will provide year round supply and enhance the Company's product offerings for its existing customer base.

Michael DeGiglio, Chief Executive Officer for the Company, stated “We are on schedule with construction as well as planting of our new facility in Monahans.” He added: "I
would like to thank the development team and our contractors for not only adhering to a stringent schedule but in fact building this facility in record time. Fellow industry
professionals have made it a point to tell us they do not recall a traditional greenhouse, let alone one as complex as our GATES greenhouse, to have been completed so
expeditiously. I am extremely proud of our efforts to date and look forward to being fully operational in the spring of 2012."

Canada: High-tech greenhouse planned for Vancouver parkade rooftop

The roof of a city-owned downtown parkade will be converted to a high-tech vertical growing space capable of producing 95 tonnes of fresh vegetables a year. Vancouver-based Valcent Products has entered
into a memorandum of understanding with EasyPark, the corporate manager of the city’s parkades, to build a 6,000-square-foot greenhouse on underutilized space on the roof of the parkade at 535 Richards
Street, in the heart of the downtown core. The inside of the greenhouse will be anything but ordinary. Four-metre-high stacks of growing trays on motorized conveyors will ferry plants up, down and around for
watering, to capture the sun’s rays and then move them into position for an easy harvest. The array will produce about the same amount of produce as 6.4 hectares (16 acres) of California fields, according to
Christopher Ng, chief operating officer of Valcent.

Construction will begin on the project in January, with an eye to harvesting the first crops in April. The greenhouse will cover less than half of the available space on the rooftop, leaving open the possibility that
a second, equally productive greenhouse can be built in the future. Ng reasons that Valcent’s growing technology is a perfect match with Vancouver’s stated goal of becoming the greenest city in the world by
2020. He found the city was not only willing to listen to his idea, but also to act on it. EasyPark came up with suggestions for properties that might work. EasyPark general manager Mel McKinney for EasyPark
sees the VertiCrop installation as a way to promote environmental leadership while repurposing an underused city asset.

“This long-term lease generates direct financial benefit to Vancouverites while showcasing Vancouver’s sustainability innovation,” said McKinney in a quote supplied by email. “We saw some synergy ...
between [the city’s] greenest city goals and our technology to grow food in an urban environment,” Ng said. Valcent has struck the deal with EasyPark and local food supplier PSWJ Holdings to market and
distribute the produce. Talks are also underway with a bicycle-based food delivery company and Ng figures to lure the city’s top chefs aboard once the quality of the product is established. The VertiCrop
system can be used to grow at least 20 varieties of lettuces, herbs and greens, provided they are under 30 centimetres (one foot) tall.

The Richards Street property has good access to light throughout the day despite being surrounded by tall buildings, so no artificial lighting will be required. Heat will be provided by the sun through much of
the year and low-carbon hydroelectric power during the coldest months. The greenhouse will be clad with fluoropolymer sheets rather than glass to enhance light transmission and reduce the risk of damage
due to wind. Growing greens close to home makes sense both environmentally and nutritionally, Ng said. “In the winter our lettuce comes from California, Mexico and as far south as Chile,” he said. “The food
miles are just phenomenal. “Plus, lettuce loses half its nutritional value in the first 96 hours after you pick it. California lettuce hasn’t even crossed the border in 96 hours.” The memorandum calls for a formal
lease on the parkade space to be signed within 90 days.

Cravo Retractable Roof Greenhouses/Shadehouses
Over the last 29 years, Cravo has developed a wide range of A Frame and Flat retractable roof houses and coverings to suit your
crop, climate and budget. Cravo retractable roof houses are in operation in cold climates with heavy snowloads, in the hot, dry arid
conditions of the desert, and the hot, humid and windy conditions of the tropics. In fact, Cravo houses have been hit by 7 hurricanes,
without loss of any structure or roof covering. You can be assured of a long trouble free operation since drive systems are mostly
made of stainless steel and aluminum, and the retractable white and clear roof coverings have proven useful lives of 8 to 12 years
depending on climate, use and crops being grown. Cravo roofs also require minimal electricity since one 2hp motor can power
approximately 1 hectare of flat roof and .5 hectare of A frame roofs.

Choosing the sidewalls
Opening of the walls on a greenhouse with a roof that retracts has proven to be beneficial to create the best possible growing conditions.
Not installing roll up curtains on the sidewalls was one of the frequent mistakes made by the early users of retractable roof greenhouses.
While motorized roll up curtains are initially more expensive compared to stationary or seasonally removable poly, they allow the growers
to maximize their return on investment since they are able to almost instantly create the full range of environments possible. The sidewall
design is not normally influenced by whether the roof is an A frame or flat roof.
Closing the sidewalls allows:
Plants to be quickly protected from damage due to high winds or a cold front blowing in
Crops to be uniformly irrigated if using overhead irrigation
Better penetration and reduced drift of chemicals since the wind will be blocked
Opening up the sidewalls allows:
The greenhouse to be ventilated through the sidewall when it is raining and the roof must be closed
The greenhouse to be cooler in the summer regardless of whether the roof is closed partway for shading or totally retracted
Re-entry times after spraying to possibly be reduced by being able to create an outdoor environment
To determine the right sidewall design for your application, the following questions need to be answered:

Should all 4 walls be able to be opened or just two opposing walls? If only two walls are to open, they should face the prevailing wind.
Should the roll up curtain close to the grade or to a knee wall?
Roll up curtain extending down to the ground
Allows for easy access by people or machine through the sidewall.
Roll up curtains work well with retractable roofs since the roof is the primary ventilation. Growers tend not to have problems with the
opening being on the bottom since the walls are normally not open until after the roof.
