We tend to think of plants growing outside with sunlight and soil, but other ways of getting light and nutrients are just as viable. That’s where hydroponics growing comes in because hydroponics is growing plants in nutrient-rich water, without soil and it's how plants grow inside a Growcer farm.

🌱 This week is our SECOND Rootcamp - a two-day bootcamp where you can get your hands wet in a Growcer farm and see what it's like to be an operator. Register for the next cohort on May 31-June 1 now.

☕ We're loving this food project: We Wai Kai Nation will open the first Indigenous-led Starbucks in Canada.

👉 Growing fresh food locally doesn't have to be a massive undertaking. Divide a large project into 5 manageable steps and set milestones along the way! 

📺 Get your remotes and your appetite ready as two northern Saskatchewan communities, Meadow Lake and Flying Dust First Nation, will be featured on a new documentary on the journey of food.

🎓 As we go on, we remember . . . the day Growcer graduated Invest Ottawa's Accelerator Program! It was an honour to celebrate alongside 10 fellow scaling Ottawa tech companies and collectively, our companies generated 643 jobs and raised $365 million in capital.
