From Our Customers
Dakota Plains Wahpeton Nation
"“The orientation and training that Tiyo, Trumbla and I received from Sam Green and Glenn Forrester at ZipGrow was engaging and incredibly informative. They made the learning process enjoyable and took the time to ensure we fully understood each step of operating the system. From day one, we were hands-on, which helped us quickly get comfortable with the ZipPod setup. Sam and Glenn were thorough, patient, and genuinely committed to our success, and I’d highly recommend them for training any future ZipGrow system growers. Plus, they remain available for any questions as we continue on this journey of growing vegetables in the ZipPod.”"
Our Commitment to You
From initial planning and system installation to training and ongoing support, Growing Nations walks alongside each community as a trusted partner. Our project management ensures seamless implementation, while our follow-up support keeps systems running efficiently and evolving to meet future needs.
Whether it’s a school program, a community greenhouse, or warehouse vertical farm, our goal is to help Indigenous communities and other partners build sustainable, self-reliant food systems that enrich both the land and the people who depend on it.
