I-Lisbon, eMaine - I-Springworks, ipulazi elikhulu nelokuqala eliqinisekisiwe le-organic anhydrous eNew England, namuhla limemezele izinhlelo zokwengeza amamitha-skwele angama-500,000 wesikhala sokushisa.
Ukwandiswa okukhulu kuzoqhubeka nokuhlinzeka amakhasimende amakhulu kakhulu eMaine Farms, i-Whole Foods Supermarket ne-Hannaford Supermarket, kanye nezindawo eziningi zokudlela zasendaweni, izitolo nezinye izitolo.Lezi zimboni zizohlinzeka i-Springworks ngolethisi we-organic fresh oqinisekisiwe.
I-greenhouse yokuqala engamamitha-skwele angama-40,000 izosetshenziswa ngoMeyi 2021, okuzophinda kathathu umkhiqizo wonyaka wenkampani we-Bibb, ulethisi waseRoma, ulethisi, okokugqoka kwesaladi neminye imikhiqizo, kanye nezinkulungwane zamaphawundi e-tilapia., Okubalulekile enqubweni yokukhula ye-Springworks ye-aquaponics.
Umsunguli weSpringworks, uTrevor Kenkel oneminyaka engu-26 ubudala, wasungula ipulazi ngo-2014 eneminyaka engu-19 ubudala, futhi uthi iningi lokukhula kwanamuhla libangelwa ukukhuphuka kwama-oda ezitolo ezinkulu ngenxa ye-COVID-19.
Lo bhubhane udale umonakalo omkhulu ezitolo zokudla kanye nabathengi abazixhasayo.Ukubambezeleka kokuthunyelwa kwemikhumbi kubahlinzeki baseNtshonalanga Coast kuphoqa abathengi bezitolo ezinkulu ukuthi babheke imithombo yasendaweni neyesifunda yokudla okuhlukahlukene okuphephile, okunomsoco nokuqhubekayo.Kwa-Springworks, indlela yethu ye-ecosystem-centric inikeza ngamasevisi kuzo zonke izici.Le ndlela isebenzisa amanzi angaphansi ngo-90% kunezinye izindlela, ayisebenzisi izibulala-zinambuzane zokwenziwa, futhi isivumela ukuthi sikhiqize imifino eluhlaza emnandi, emisha unyaka wonke.Nezinhlanzi."kusho uKenkel.
Ngenkathi lolu bhubhane seludumile ngo-2020, i-Whole Foods yathenga iSpringworks ukuze igcine/ibeke eshalofini imikhiqizo kaulethisi ukuze ihlangabezane nesidingo esikhulu solethisi wemvelo kubathengi eNyakatho-mpumalanga.Izitolo eziningi zegrosa zihlangabezane nokungazinzi kwabahlinzeki basoGwini olusentshonalanga ngenxa yokubambezeleka kwemikhumbi nezinye izinkinga zokuphakelwa kwemingcele kanye nezinkinga zokulethwa.
I-Hannaford yandise ukusatshalaliswa kwe-lettuce ye-Springworks ukusuka eNew England kuya ezitolo endaweni yaseNew York.U-Hannaford waqala ukuthumela i-lettuce yase-Springworks ezitolo ezimbalwa e-Maine ngo-2017, lapho iketango lalifuna ezinye esikhundleni se-ulethisi e-California, e-Arizona nase-Mexico.
Phakathi neminyaka emibili, insizakalo nekhwalithi yeSpringworks yakhuthaza iHannaford ukuthi yandise ukusatshalaliswa kwayo kuzo zonke izitolo eMaine.Ngaphezu kwalokho, lapho ubhubhane lomkhuhlane kanye nesidingo sabathengi sikhuphuka, i-Hannaford yengeza i-Springworks esitolo sayo saseNew York.
U-Mark Jewell, umphathi wesigaba somkhiqizo wezolimo wakwa-Hannaford, uthe: “I-Springworks izohlola ngokucophelela wonke amabhokisi lapho ihlangabezana nezidingo zethu zolethisi futhi ingalahli lutho.Kusukela endleleni yayo ye-fish-vegetable symbiosis, sizokhula sibe luhlaza, futhi sibe nomsoco Imikhiqizo Emisha.”Lezi zici, zihambisana nezinqubo zabo ezinhle kakhulu zokuphepha kokudla, ukutholakala konyaka wonke kanye nokuba seduze kwesikhungo sethu sokusabalalisa, kusenze sakhetha ama-Springworks Esikhundleni sokukhetha imikhiqizo ekhuliswe ensimini ethunyelwa ezweni lonke, kuba lula."
Ngokungeziwe emikhiqizweni ehlanganisa ulethisi we-Springworks' Organic Baby Green Romaine, i-Hannaford iphinde yashintsha ulethisi wabo wamaqabunga aluhlaza akhona kakade wafaka uphawu lwe-Springworks, olungakhiqiza inani elilungile lelethisi elicwebezelayo lesaladi elilodwa noma i-smoothie.
U-Kenkel kanye nodadewabo u-Sierra Kenkel iphini likamongameli kade baba khona kusukela ekuqaleni.Ubelokhu ecwaninga futhi ethuthukisa izinhlobo ezintsha ezizohlangabezana nezidingo zebhizinisi zabathengisi futhi zihlangabezane nendlela yokuphila kanye nezidingo zokudla okunomsoco zabathengi.
“Abathengi abazisa ikhwalithi nokungafihli lutho bacela izitolo ezinkulu imikhiqizo ephilayo kubakhiqizi bokudla bakuleli,” kusho uSierra, obhekelele ukudayisa nokumaketha kweSpringworks.
"Kusukela ezimbewu kuya ekuthengisweni, sisebenza kanzima ukuze sinikeze ulethisi omusha futhi omnandi kakhulu ogcinwa njenge-Whole Foods kanye ne-Hannaford elindele, kanye nalokho amakhasimende abo afaneleka ngakho. Sibheke ngabomvu inkhulumomphendvulwano namanye amaketanga esuphamakethe amakhulu eNyakatho-mpumalanga ngoba thina i-greenhouse entsha izothuthukisa ikhono lethu lokukhula ulethisi omnandi, onempilo, futhi onesitifiketi esiqinisekisiwe-kanye namalungelo onyaka wonke okusebenzisa imifino namakhambi akhethekile esikhathini esizayo. E-Maine."
