News Ocala, FL - Sun State Organics, LLC, a designer and manufacturer of renewable resource conversion equipment has introduced a revolutionary method for growing herbs, fruit, flowers and vegetables. Sun State Organics full line of vertical growing systems empowers people with little experience to take control of their food supply in the comfort of their home. The system is elegant, flexible, modular and scalable, providing a level of automation and features that are very user friendly.
"I've never seen anything like it - it's the coolest thing ever. Plug in your hose, set the times and come back at harvest time - even a person with the brownest of thumbs could effortlessly grow food in this system" remarked Chris Covello, of Ocala, Florida. "I've been growing food my whole life and this system will allow me to grow 5 times more food in less space using less labor and resources - It's incredible!” Mark Olson, a partner in Sun State Organics, said "We were given a wish list and asked to design a system to achieve those goals - this is what came out of that request." When asked what was on the list he said "Simple, efficient, cost effective, easy to use, able to grow more in less space using fewer resources - and it had to grow a wide range of herbs, fruit and vegetables of the highest quality. Sun State Organics has developed a system to feed one person or entire cities. They even have a system to empower disabled people to easily grow quality food. Unlike most systems you don't need to buy chemicals, mixing cups or measuring devices - you do not have to operate it in some particular way - you don't really have to know anything at all! This system is automated - with the push of two buttons everything happens. Sun State designed their Vertical Growing System for real people - people who don't have a tractor, don't like gardening, have no experience in growing anything and have little time to tend to anything more in life. The systems are so simple children can operate them and think they are the coolest things ever. The Vertical Growing System allows you to grow multiple crops in one system without changing a thing. There are no solutions to mix, no packets to open every few days, no supplies you have to order from us ever again, and we have a lot of add-ons to our system no one else has ever even considered. Many companies offer systems that can’t be integrated easily. Sun State Organics provides a simple expansion feature for future needs or capabilities “The public reaction to this system is a bit overwhelming. We will be expanding quickly to meet the market demand from greenhouse operators, urban farming groups and growers world wide and look forward to seeing people become safer, more secure and healthier with their food in the future," said Mr. Olson For additional information: http://SunStateOrganics.com ************************************************************************************************** The Future of Vertical Growing and Urban Farming We are at a crossroads when it comes to feeding the world. As food prices rise and food availability decreases it will become ever more difficult to survive. Most Americans take food for granted. Even the poorest fifth of households in the United States spend only 16 percent of their budget on food. In many other countries, it is less of a given. According to many world hunger organizations Nigerian families spend 73 percent of their budgets to eat, Vietnamese 65 percent, Indonesians half. They are in trouble. It is projected by the year 2100 we will need an additional land mass the size of Brazil to grow enough food to keep up with population growth - that land does not exist. Do we know how our food is grown? Where it comes from? How it was grown? How good the food is you are eating? Is it safe? Do you feel you have control over your food supply? Without food what are you going to do? As people have traveled through time they have lost control of the one basic aspect of their life that keeps them alive. It is way past due we wake up and face it - we need to start taking more responsibility for our food supply. Gardening and farming is hard work. Most people do not have the time, experience, or desire to get on their knees and get dirty to put food on their table. What if there were a way to take control of your food supply without all the hard work and time? What if you did not have to get dirty and you could do it without any experience whatsoever? Sun State Organics, LLC (SSO) believes the answer lies with a revised growing method. A new approach that does not require tractors, shovels, chemicals or massive amounts of water, energy and labor to grow food must be developed. They believe that better systems can provide more with less and produce an abundance of food that is healthier, safer and more secure. The SSO Vertical Growing System is revolutionary. The Vertical Growing System has been designed to provide for individual growing needs and the needs of the masses. Little if any, experience is needed and the profit potential is far superior to other alternative growing methods. SSO did not build their vertical growing system to be operated in just one way - it can accommodate any media, any light source, any nutrient, work indoor or out and provide an abundance of the freshest most delicious produce found anywhere. Whether you are connected to the utilities or not - the system works anywhere – with optional equipment, no outside water or energy is required. Sun State Organics designed a Vertical Growing System for real people - people who don't have a tractor, don't like gardening, have no experience in growing anything and have little time to tend to anything more in life. The systems are so simple children can operate them and think they are the coolest things ever - so will you! Take the seeds, stuff them in the soil, set the timers and sit back to watch something that will not only blow your mind but also feed you. I'm not talking about food grown in chemicals - not talking about food that's old and been touched by who knows what - not talking about colorless, flavorless or bland. What you will grow is food that tastes great and will keep you coming back for more.
Sun State Organics system is portable, flexible and dynamic. You can use any media, any light source, any nutrient, to grow the most extensive variety of plants, and it can be used inside or out in any weather or geographic location - on or off the grid. Up to 90% less water, fuel, fertilizer and land is required. The Sun State Organics Vertical Growing Systems reduces the cost to consumers for food that is safer, more nutritious, delicious and provides stable local jobs. Because of the efforts of companies like Sun State Organics the future of Vertical Growing provides one method that has the ability to feed the world for generations to come.

SSO has designed and manufactured a revolutionary composter to serve the needs of the equestrian industry. The composter can turn horse manure and bedding into compost in as few as 6 days and it is less expensive than having the waste hauled off in a dumpster. Mark Olson, one of the SSO Managing Partners says; “The Rotary Composter is a cost effective alternative to hauling manure” – a common and expensive option available to local horse farmers. Olson also stated; “We will be offering horse farmers a way to reduce their disposal costs by as much as 40% while producing a nutrient rich 100% organic fertilizer.” The Rotary Composter is made of heavy duty HDPE and stainless steel. The Rotary Composter is available in four sizes and price ranges accommodating most budgets. These Machines are built to last,” says Managing Partner Brian Donnelly. Donnelly adds; “Our specially designed equestrian line of composter are so easy and safe to use and they are packed with many features that take all the hard work out of composting.” Organic materials are shredded in a feed-hopper. A conveyor loads the shredded material into the compost machine. A forced air induction system and automatic rotation produce compost free of pathogens, weed-seeds and parasites in just days. Donnelly goes on to say; “We are keenly aware of certain challenges faced by horse farmers. The horse industry like other livestock operations, has felt the pressure of new environmental regulations coming from State and Federal governments. There is an on-going effort to make some regulations more restrictive when it concerns water quality. Disposal costs are rising every year. Our Rotary Composter provides financial relief and gives manure generators freedom from rising disposal costs. Manure in, compost out. Compost is an excellent organic fertilizer and it’s free. We believe horse farmers can benefit greatly from our machine,” SSO is currently evaluating potential manufacturing sites preferring to take advantage of the depressed real estate market vs. constructing a new facility. The company will initially employ fifteen to twenty people. It is expected demand will require the hiring of additional personnel. “If all goes as planned, the manufacturing operation will commence some time in 2010,” Olson says. |
