GREEN ORGANIC FARMS

AN INNOVATION OF RAINMAKING INTERNATIONAL

100% ORGANICALLY GROWN VEGETABLES AND FRUITS

Page 2: Controlled indoor farming on a local basis

GREEN ORGANIC FARMS is a closed loop growing system. We use as few middle men as possible, unplug from the utilities as much as possible all in the goal of keeping costs low and growing 100% Organic.

Page 3: Controlled indoor farming on a local basis

Our mission

To produce 100% organic quality vegetables and fruits at the lowest cost per pound;

and assist the underserved by employing wounded veterans, and those with special

needs.

Page 4: Controlled indoor farming on a local basis

Imagine

A 365-day growing season without droughts, freezes or infestations

6-14 times more plants in the same space as conventional, aeroponics and hydroponic farming

Any vegetable or fruit that grows in the ground can be grown organically in our

vertical pruning baskets.

The science and art we utilize, lowers the growing cost and produces a better

tasting vegetable and fruit.

Green Vertical Farm’s system utilizes all natural products;

NO GMO, pesticides or chemicals

We are often asked what the magic is in our “Disruptive Suite of Farming Technologies”

Here are some of the integrated technologies we utilize.

100% Organic Space utilization

Contained water and feeding system

Disconnected from energy and water grid

Page 6: Controlled indoor farming on a local basis

Growing organically produces a better tasting product

Our FlexPods’ air pruning bags are filled with 100% organic potting soil and fed water.

Soil Information

Since the dawn of time people have understood that some soils produce better tasting produce than

other soils.

This is still the case.

We custom blend soils onsite to produce plants that are extraordinarily good tasting.

Perhaps it’s the clays or the humic acids or the charcoals or the manures - whatever it is, we can produce

remarkably similar blends that are unique.

We find the discussion of whether pumping synthetic chemicals to plants as opposed to growing in soil and

providing water silly because we understand how plant root systems interact with the microbes, bacteria,

enzymes and fungi found in soil and not found in synthetic chemicals.

If you want stronger, healthier and better tasting plants - go organic - there is simply no real replacement for

Mother Nature.

Growing Organically for Superior Taste

Space Utilization: We fit the same amount of plants

in 8 square feet as others can in 80 square feet and

do it with more efficient and effective lighting

All of those plants fit on 2 poles which take up 8

square feet. Less real estate and more production is

a key to our magic. We grow 6-14 times more in the

same space that others grow

By way of comparison -Pepper Plants

Vertically self-contained watering and feeding systems that grow

significantly more vegetables and fruits. Plants use only water that is needed and very little is wasted.

Page 9: Controlled indoor farming on a local basis

Our unique irrigation system automatically waters a prescribed amount of water to each plant, daily

Page 10: Controlled indoor farming on a local basis

It’s really this simple

Composted fertilizer, add water, Grow

Water from Humidity- In any environment where there are numerous plants growing,

humidity is present. We can reduce the humidity and create up to 300 gallons of water per

day, per machine. This patented system produces a supercharged oxygenated water

(“o3”) that we use to water the plants and can bottle to sell the cleanest, freshest water on

earth.

Page 12: Controlled indoor farming on a local basis

Green Organic Farm’s products alleviate

dependence from the local water supply, by

harvesting enough fresh water from the air

to supply 300 gallons per day. Our water

emitters built into the vertical Flex pod poles

emit the amount of water that the particular

plant requires.

Certified Studies, University of Minnesota, o2

Strawberries, Tomato, & Flowers (% increased

yield)

2007 Tomato Brandywine (organic) 13%

2007 Bell Peppers (organic) 32%

2006 Tomato Brandywine (organic) 21%

2006 Bell Peppers (organic) 58%

2007 Hanging Basket Flowers 16%

Page 13: Controlled indoor farming on a local basis

In a recent study in Jupiter Florida utilizing o3 water with fruit and vegetables,

a 279% increase in yield, plus the size of the individual fruit was 16% to 18%

larger

Vertical Induction Grow Light SystemVPAR Series Induction Grow Lights are the perfect solution for the indoor garden where tall plants and

dense canopies make it difficult for overhead lighting to penetrate down into the lower branches. This lighting has been in the growing industry for years and well tested.

As plant height increases, VPAR fixtures may

be easily joined together to maintain

optimum light levels along the entire length

of the plant for increased crop production!

VPAR fixtures emit light out of both sides

of the fixture in a 300º pattern to optimize

vertical canopy light distribution

• Enhances lower branch development.

• Produces 1/3 the heat and consumes up to 70% less power than

comparable HID lamps.

• 100,000 hour rated with only 10% lumen depreciation at 70,000

hours.

• Consistent intensities and stable spectrum for repeatable crop

production values.

• Broad spectrum lamp means NO relamping between vegetative

and flowering stages.

• Housing will not rack or twist which protects the lamp from

breakage.

• May qualify for utility rebate programs.

Product Specifications Universal Voltage Driver operates on 120-277v 50-60Hz supply circuits.

UNPLUG FROM THE ENERGY GRIDThere are over 8000 patented turbine systems throughout the world. This system, when linked can produce over 30MwH. Our system allows you to unplug from the energy grid. It produces all the energy needed.

This is a controlled environment, dome. They come in various sizes and shapes

Selection of crops. Anything that grows in the ground grows in our soil

WEIGHT IS NOT A PROBLEM

Each pole and each plant location has self emitters to regulate the water flow in a drip fashion and keep the run off to near non existentThe plant holders are tilted ever so slightly and caged to prevent breakage

Note the vine and the weight of the vegetable

We can grow to your specification, across the country

VermicultureEarthworms function as natural bioreactors. The technique

yields organic fertilizers, permits safe disposal of certain organic

wastes and reduces the requirement for landfilling.

System Advantages

The process is odorless

The end product - Vermicast is odorless, smelling like

fresh soil

Vermicast has a high market value as a fertilizer or soil

conditioner

Green waste is converted into an enhanced, value-

added product

The leachate produced is a valuable nutrient source

Worm Tea is a valuable all natural pesticide/fertilizer

The process is pollution free

When compared with soil, worm casts also contain:5

times more nitrogen; 7 times more phosphorus;

1.5 times the calcium; 11 times more potassium

3 times more exchangeable magnesium

Page 27: Controlled indoor farming on a local basis

Batch Flow Organic Waste CompostersAlmost any organic material can be composted-- odor free!

Food residuals, horse manure, mortalities from livestock operations, and sewage

Sludge can all be turned into valuable compost using our rotary composter!

From backyard composting to Municipalities, the Rotary Composter can make

composting efforts payoff with a quality compost, produced in just a few days!

Our Rotary Composter costs 30-60% less to own and operate than paying to have

waste taken away in a dumpster/roll off container.

FERTILIZER BREWING

Make compost or worm tea in brewers for a 100% liquid fertilizer and ward off the bugs.

No Pesticides Permitted
