It’s unrealistic to expect a custom food-growing system to yield a food solution when its users don’t have the necessary expertise to maximize its potential.
ColdAcre Food Systems is with you every step of the way, providing communities and businesses alike with the necessary hands-on training to ensure you’re able to reliably grow, package, and deliver fresh produce.
We’ll custom build a hydroponic food-growing solution that works for your community, while ensuring you can optimize it to its fullest potential through our training program. Even after the sale, we’re always available, ready to support and help maintain your system in whatever way we can. This gives us the confidence to guarantee food yields.
ColdAcre has partnered with Indigenous communities in the past, and we’ve had great experiences doing so. We understand what Indigenous communities face daily, which is why we’re not here to sell you the magical answer to all your problems. With respect, we come in with supportive growth opportunities that fit what you deem your community needs.
There’s a certain degree of expertise and knowhow that go into our food-growing systems. We know how daunting it can be to not only operate a system like this but also to optimize in full. Yes, our mission is to offer the means to reliable fresh produce, but we also strive to provide the necessary education to use our system, while creating job opportunities within Indigenous communities.
Cold Acre is a subsidiary of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun Development Corporation, the active business arm of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun. This means that our profits are reinvested back into the community and participate in fostering the wellbeing of Na-Cho Nyäk Dun people, land, and waters.
Being First Nation owned also means that Cold Acre is an important participant in strengthening Indigenous self-determination and food sovereignty. Our growing solutions don’t just mean that Indigenous communities have improved access to quality and affordable foods, but the foods grown are culturally relevant and wanted. We’re focused on working closely with our Indigenous clients to address unique community needs and ensure that food may continue to be a catalyst for cultural reignition and vibrancy.
