Affinor Growers Inc. announced that it has shipped its first harvest of vertically grown, vine ripened, cultivar strawberries to Four Seasons Farm at the global tourist attraction, Granville Island Public Market. The premium, sustainable, greenhouse strawberries are being sold as an Abbotsford local product through distributor, Berrymobile. The strawberry harvest, packaging and delivery to local markets represents a successful commercial pilot of Affinor's patented rotating towers (Canada, USA, Colombia, and Aruba), automated systems and processes.

The berries were grown in Affinor's 15,000 square foot greenhouse in Abbotsford BC from seedlings over the winter of 2022. Affinor is in the process of permitting their new proprietary greenhouse, the “Atlantis”, which will accommodate growing strawberries, utilizing 8 levels. This is double the current 4-level towers substantially decreasing costs and increasing yield.

Affinor's technology is the most sustainable solution for reducing water usage, ease of cropping and adaptable to full modular automation getting ready for the future age of agriculture changes.
