Scalable community food production
Terrace Pro systems are designed to expand food production capacity using existing indoor spaces within a single facility or across multiple community locations.
Designed for existing community infrastructure
The system integrates into spaces communities already have available, including:
- Community buildings
- Schools and education centres
- Band or municipal buildings
- Food security or health facilities
- Multi-use indoor spaces
It can operate in classrooms, lunchrooms, offices, basements, hallways, warehouses, and other underused indoor spaces.
Flexible, modular growth
Each Terrace Pro unit is a fully independent growing system that can operate on its own or as part of a larger network. Communities can start small and expand over time by adding units as needed.
Flexible crop production
While optimized for consistent production of leafy greens, herbs, and transplants, the system supports a range of crops depending on community priorities.
Optimized for reliable production:
- Leafy greens (lettuce, bok choy, etc.)
- Herbs (all types)
- Seedlings and transplants (all crops)
Also suitable for:
- Peppers, tomatoes and peas (dwarf varieties)
- Educational and experimental growing

This flexibility allows communities to balance reliable food production with education, engagement, and locally meaningful growing priorities within the same system.

“For this community, even our only grocery store is not selling fresh vegetables anymore. Pretty much everything has to come from 200 kilometers away.
Now, with this system running, I can give away 60 or 70 heads of green vegetables every week. People are really waiting for it, and most of the time in an hour everything is gone.”

“It’s a privilege to be able to grow healthy food for our community. Unfortunately, healthy, fresh greens that deliver nutritional benefits can be very expensive in a rural community like Roblin. We are very fortunate to be able to offer a solution in our community.”
