"Our staff is very excited about these two farms, sold to Native American tribal interests and members, one in the western New York region of Salamanca, south of Buffalo, and one in Mayetta, Kansas, serving the people of the Prairie Band of the Potawatomi Nation," said Ron Evans, President of Indoor Farms of America.
Evans noted, "We had the folks from the PB Nation visit our Las Vegas facility for training, and it was a great day. We learned about their plans to use the vertical aeroponic equipment for education within their community, and for interaction experiences between tribal elders and the young people, who are the future."
These two farms represent the first two vertical aeroponic farms sold for use and operation by tribal people in the U.S. "As we expand our introduction of our crop growing equipment to the Native community, through our subsidiary, Native Indoor Farms, we are grateful to those folks with the vision to see the real benefits of having such a farm," stated David Martin, CEO of Indoor Farms of America.
Martin added: "Not only will the residents have immediate access to fresh and naturally grown produce on a year round basis, but they now have access to an economic model that, based on our discussions with tribal members, speaks to their cultural needs as a people. Growing high quality fresh food, in a clean, controlled environment all year long, first for themselves, and secondly for sale into their local communities, has many tangible attributes that the tribes recognize."
One example is the patented method of introduction of natural minerals into the watering system of the aeroponic equipment. "Tribes can introduce the real elements of nature directly from their own lands into the farming operation in a manner that will enhance the nutritional value of the food, as well as ensure the food grown tastes, quite simply, amazing," according to Martin.
Plant a seed of corn, and a fish.
Or ... some pot.
Pretty soon they’ll be selling “Potawatomi Wowie” on the streets.
“Great buzz with twice the buds! Grown indoors by First Nation Peoples!”
Probably hiring white men to run the place...work is not part of their heritage.
If you said they were putting in Alaska and North Dakota where people pay $10 for a pound of vegetables $1-2 anywhere else, then I’d say it is helpful.
For people who can get it at the local grocery store like everyone else, the most likely use of this “farm” is to get extra affirmative action points over others and sell the over-priced produce to guilt-ridden liberals. It isn’t just eco-friendly, it is Native American grown!
Sweet system.
Due to the money input.
That said they are missing the point.
Just like the last 50+ years the farmers did not take into account the downfall of not growing with GOD GIVEN TOOLS.

Check out the prices for this stuff.
Far from cheap. Considering the building, the cost of the seeds or whatever is needed to grow the stuff, and there is just no way a person could be competitive with a real farmer.
One simply cannot compete with the neighborhood grocery store or Walmart - even in ND or Alaska.
That is not my experience. I am sorry you have said that.
In fact among the undergraduates I taught beginning path to, the American Indian students were excellent diagnosticians. Better than any other identifiable ethnic groups. That result does not reflect a none working effort.
You might tell that to a friend who is a wild fire hot shot. He seems to work pretty hard there. Works off season in the Indian Health Center. His dad, in his sixties works as a handyman along with being tribal elder.
Another friend works for my son in his landscape company. Works like a dog summer and winter.
