March 27, 2009, Vancouver, BC – TerraSphere Systems, LLC recently announced a partnership between Squamish Nation leaders and Choices Markets, B.C.’s leading grocer for gourmet and organic foods.

The Squamish Nation has purchased 20 TerraSphere growth carousels for the production of basil and herbs that will be sold exclusively in eight Choices Markets across the region.

TerraSphere Systems designs and builds growth carousels, which provide a means of growing organic fruits and vegetables in an indoor environment.

The Squamish Nation sees the TerraSphere growth carousels as a unique agricultural opportunity.

“TerraSphere provides a highly efficient, technologically innovative way to grow plants,” said Chief Gibby Jacob. “It is a way to feed the people. For the Squamish Nation, becoming leaders at the forefront of technological innovation is something that we embrace and encourage for our young people, and future generations.”
