US (WI): Superior Fresh opens doors
Superior Fresh is North America’s largest aquaponics facility, which at its capacity will be able to produce 160,000 pounds of Atlantic salmon and two million pounds of leafy greens annually, all within two large and very sustainable facilities.
Superior Fresh marked the five year anniversary of when the idea came to fruition Thursday by celebrating their grand opening with more than 100 people in attendance.
“This is five years in the making. It is a monumental accomplishment and to be able to share it with all of you is wonderful. It took many, many long days and nights,” Brandon Gottsacker, chief operating officer for Superior Fresh, said. “Five years ago today we decided to develop a project that we thought would change the world. It was a project that would make a statement about how we would grow food and consume food.”
One of those in attendance was Gov. Scott Walker, “The best way to be green is to make green or save green, and that is exactly what this product does. It makes money by saving and being environmentally sound and at the same time it is economically sound.”
