Sustainabite container farm systems
One growing system. Two configurations. SB-40 brings commercial growing into a dedicated container farm; Arctic adapts that approach for colder locations. Choose for your site, with the same crop-production capability and support from people who run a farm themselves.
Built on hands-on experience at our operating farm in Surrey, BC.

Our operating Surrey farm
We grow, harvest, pack and supply basil from our operating farm in Surrey, BC. That everyday work shapes the systems we build and the support we provide.
Our basil is supplied to Pattison Food Group stores and other retailers.

Grow upward with vertical towers that turn the height of your container into productive growing space.
LED lighting and climate control create a dedicated growing environment inside your farm, sheltered from outdoor conditions.
Our routine: 16 hours harvesting, packing and delivery over two main workdays, plus around 4 hours of checks and maintenance across the week.
Learn from growers who run their own farm. Project-specific training continues until your whole team is trained.
Choose optional marketing and retail connection support, or build your own customer relationships and sell on your terms.
Growing towers and a separate preparation area, brought together.
The interactive system opens as you reach it.
Vertical growing makes use of the container’s height. A separate preparation area gives the team a place to handle the work around the crop.
Integrated grow lighting supports the crop schedule inside, instead of leaving it to the length of the outdoor day.
The hydroponic system supplies water and nutrients to the crop. Regular checks keep that routine connected to what the plants need.
Included operating software helps your team monitor the system and manage growing conditions alongside hands-on crop care.
A farm you actively operate
Plant, check, harvest and prepare the next crop. The system supports the work; your team runs the operation.

Check the plants, water and growing conditions through the week, with maintenance built into the routine.
Harvest, pack and plan delivery around the people buying your produce.
About 20 hours a week. Around 16 hours of harvesting, packing and delivery across two main workdays, plus 4 hours of checks and maintenance spread through the week.
