October 8, 2021, Lancaster, CA – The City of Lancaster is excited to announce that Bluehouse Greenhouse, Inc. (BHGH) is coming to the City to build a 62-acre greenhouse production facility that uses leading-edge technology to sustainably grow fruits and vegetables. “The BHGH facility will use an advanced closed loop sustainable ecosystem design to create the optimal environment for plant life, increasing quality, production, and consistency,” Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris said. “This is the future of farming, and we are thrilled that Lancaster will help to foster this unique and critically needed agriculture technology.”

Greenhouse agriculture is a commercial and sustainable method of farming that has taken years of science, data, and optimization to reach its current stage. The technology was started by the Dutch after World War II, perfected over time, and adapted around the world as a better way to grow fresh fruits and vegetables. The enclosed glass and steel, climate-controlled greenhouses create the optimal growing climate for plants to thrive.

“Our greenhouses will combine traditional agriculture practices with advanced technologies to grow the best tasting, highest quality produce,” said Ari Kashani, Founder of BHGH. “We are advancing agriculture to the new era; a more sustainable one. Our controlled greenhouses will produce 3,000% more yield per acre than a traditional farm, will use 90% less water, require 90% less human handling and will be free from any herbicides.”

As an example of the sustainability of greenhouse farming, a standard head of lettuce grown in the field consumes about 28 gallons of water from seed to harvest. In a greenhouse, the consumption drops to less than 2 gallons. The 62-acre BHGH Flagship facility will produce over 50 million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables annually to be distributed to local and regional markets.

BHGH has worked closely with the City’s Planning Division to ensure that Lancaster’s standards for building efficient and sustainable structures were met. “The project will bring hundreds of new construction jobs to the City, as well as over 200 permanent skilled jobs,” said Ari Kashani. “Innovation, technology, sustainability, and productivity drive the City’s long-term success for supporting forward-thinking industries and has earned the city a third time win as Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation’s ‘Most Business-Friendly City.’ With an abundant source of natural light, dry manageable climates, excellent transportation linkages, and a strong, supportive local community, Lancaster is the ideal location to ensure highly productive and profitable operations. Lancaster was also strategically chosen for its proximity to a dense hyper-local population with over 24 million residents in Southern California alone.”

Today, over 60% of vine crops consumed in the United States are imported from other countries. “There’s an increasing need to replace imports with domestically grown produce,” said Kashani. California is one of the largest agricultural states in the country but increasingly faces climate and water challenges. “For agriculture to remain a dominant industry, farming practices must leverage today’s technological advances. With the future of field farming becoming ever more uncertain, greenhouse agriculture is becoming more of a necessity,” said Kashani.

“This marks the beginning of an important movement that can become a model for the entire nation to build secure and self-sufficient controlled agricultural environments,” Parris said. “It’s a whole new, more efficient and sustainable way to cultivate, produce, and feed our country.”

Antelope Valley Engineering, a local design and engineering firm with deep roots in the Antelope Valley, is leading the master planning and engineering effort for this intricate agro-park development. The facility is slated to break ground in Winter 2021/2022 and plans to be in production with fruits and vegetables on the market in late Winter 2022.

Los Angeles, California September 7, 2021: Bluehouse Greenhouse Inc. (“BHGH”) announces a strategic partnership agreement with Longvine Growing Co, the rebranded Houweling’s Group, to market its California greenhouse grown tomatoes and cucumbers from a 2.8 million square feet sustainable greenhouse and energy agro-park. BHGH will grow more than 50 million of pounds of sustainable fruits and vegetables a year to be distributed to premium customers throughout the US. The company will tailor specialty product offerings for Longvine, to support the growing demand for fresh, sustainable produce. The recently launched “Long Vine Growing Co” brand, showcases the company’s new vision and direction in the marketplace, while building off its twenty-five-year history under the Houweling’s brand across North America.

In addition to providing market access to a robust customer base, the partnership also allows the BHGH team to unlock the established growing, technical and service expertise among the Longvine Growing Co team when commissioning the new facility. “Sustainability, quality, taste and price drives consumer purchases while food safety, traceability, consistency, and high service levels are key drivers for retailers and food service operators. Being able to draw on Longvine’s strong reputation and experience in these areas is instrumental in meeting the increasingly stringent demands within controlled environment agriculture.” says Ari Kashani, Founder of Bluehouse Greenhouse. “We’ve on-boarded some of the most experienced partners from all segments of the industry who are committed to growing the Bluehouse Greenhouse vision. I’m genuinely excited to embark on this journey with the Longvine team. They have deep industry knowledge that we can benefit from along with long-term relationships with key retail partners.”

The partnership announcement is well timed as Longvine recently reported sale and transition of the 125- acre Camarillo, CA greenhouse, which the company leased and operated. The addition of the state-of-the-art BHGH project offers Longvine another flagship example of sustainable and high-density agriculture, alongside its Mona, Utah facility and headquarters. Longvine CEO, Kevin Doran notes, “We’ve partnered with a passionate operator and entrepreneur who has pulled together a talented team. They have the right operational mindset, strong vision, and they ask the right questions to successfully execute as an operator of a high-tech, modern growing operation. We are excited to support their team in bringing the project to life, which will in-turn add value to our customer portfolio.”

Today, over 60% of the vine-crops consumed in the United States are imported from other countries. Unstable climate conditions, a diminishing labor pool and an increased demand for local, traceable fruits and vegetables are key drivers behind the Bluehouse Greenhouse agro-park development and this partnership. Over the past 25 years, Longvine has supplied its customers across North America with the highest quality fruits and vegetables available to the market. Partnering and investing in Bluehouse Greenhouse will further substantiate Longvine’s leading industry position.

The Bluehouse Greenhouse master plan development located in Southern California will be the first of its kind, combining highly sophisticated control systems and automation technologies, with a specially designed energy system maximizing environmental control within the high-tech farm. The glass greenhouse will use natural sun light as well as sustainable thermal energy to operate its optimized ecosystem. “We are advancing agriculture to the new era; a more sustainable one. Our controlled greenhouses will produce 3,000% more yield per acre than a traditional farm, will use 95% less water, require 90% less labor and will be free from any herbicides.” says Kashani. “The highly controlled ecosystem enhances crop growth and quality by maintaining the most comfortable climate for plants to thrive in year- round.”

The 58-acre flagship facility, which includes 38 acres dedicated to high-wire tomato and cucumber crops and 20 aces for lettuce and berry production, has been meticulously designed by ALPS, a world-class design firm focused on the development of high-profile projects in Controlled Environment Agriculture. “We’ve taken sustainability to new heights when designing this facility.” says Thomas Larssen, President of ALPS. “From crop balance, energy balance, efficiencies, use of automation, food safety protocols and everything in between, we’ve designed the most secure and resilient operation of this type in the country.”

The agro-park facility also includes a highly efficient 13.2 megawatt energy center on site, being developed in partnership with Endurant Energy. The closed loop, self-sustaining ecosystem will draw from the most advanced elements of sustainable agriculture and energy generation to maximize productivity, sustainability, and profitability. Detailed crop planning allows for facility optimization, bringing security to its partners and investors. The sustainable Food + Energy ecosystem is set to break ground in Winter 2021 and will be in production in Winter 2022.
