Alaskan company using warehouse to grow micro greens

Northern Latitude Controlled Environment Agriculture in Anchorage, Alaska, is producing micro greens in a 1,300-square-foot warehouse, reports the Anchorage Daily News. Sioux-Z Humphrey Marshall and Rusty Foreaker are growing a variety of crops, including endive, basil, cilantro, radish, beets, arugula, broccoli and pea and corn shoots in a custom-designed hydroponic system. The company has been selling the produce in 4 oz. containers for $18 to local restaurants.
Marshall told the newspaper the company is currently studying the shelf life of the produce. She said the products last about 2 weeks if stored properly in the refrigerator.
