Fork Farms, a producer of innovative agriculture technologies, announced a multi-faceted partnership with Makers Row, a food and beverage hub in in West Allis, Wis., on Aug. 25. This collaboration will result in the development of an urban farm that can grow thousands of pounds of locally grown, fresh produce for consumers.
Partnering with Makers Row was a food fit for Fork Farms, as both companies share the goal of building a more sustainable food system. Makers Row announced that it has formed a new business entity, Makers Row Farms LLC, that will occupy more than 5,000 square feet of the Makers Row food cluster at the corner of West National Avenue and 66th Street in the city of West Allis.
The new indoor hydroponic farm will feature all Fork Farms technology, including a Flex Acre Connect, an 8-unit Flex Connect, and one to two Flex Micros. With the potential to grow up to 34,000 pounds of fresh, nutrient-dense lettuces and other greens annually, this farm will serve as a source of fresh, local food.
Fork Farms will also open its Milwaukee-area headquarters and hydroponic showroom within Makers Row. Makers Row represents one of the largest concentrations of hydroponic growing systems in the region. Co-locating within a food-focused hub, the Fork Farms and Makers Row partnership creates a new model for advancing urban agriculture through development projects that increase access to fresh food.
