The building will enjoy a half acre (22,000 square feet) of solar panels to help offset the buildings' energy consumption. All organic waste from the building, farm and residential, will be processed in an on site bio-digester. The bio-digester will produce methane which will be burned for CO2 for the vertical farm.6Water System Detail

The building, including the farm and 37 residential units, will consume only 5,000 gallons per day. Water will be treated onsite for reuse. We estimate that 2,000 gallons can be recovered per day, enough to operate the farm. Black water will be fed into the bio-digester.

TotalKOMOTO VERTICAL FARM CONCEPTThe farm is a hydroponic tiered NFT system (Nutrient Film Technique). The system will have 7 tiers per floor yielding 3.8 acres of growing area on a half acre footprint. The facility will begin with lettuce production and then explore other crops. Projected daily production is 14,000 heads of lettuce, which will be sold by partnering with local food distributors.

Each head of leaf lettuce will be produced using less than a quarter gallon of water. This is comparable to field grown lettuce which consumes anywhere between 10-15 gallons per head.

The farm will provide 20 living wage jobs. As opposed to outdoor lettuce harvesting work, employment at Kimoto Gardens will be year round and will not include working in the blazing sun or rain or back pain from constant bending over to harvest lettuce on the ground. Komoto Property Management CompanyThe Komoto Gardens will be the overall property management company responsible to the Freund Family Land Trust and to oversee the implementation of integrated sustainable solutions, management of Earthly resources and making sure that harmony prevails between Komoto Gardens living space, growing space and community health.
