The GreenWave nursery has been an ongoing project with many transformations. We are constantly learning and iterating how we work to produce seed. Established in 2016, our nursery operates in Fair Haven, CT and grew to serve farms throughout Southern New England, working with a capacity of about 35,000 feet of seed string per year. As we grew the scale of our production, our operations proved challenging to operate efficiently and reliably, including difficulty in mitigating contamination in the system.  When the 2021 seed production season wrapped up we immediately pivoted, reconstructing our facility from scratch with particular attention to water processing and polishing. The new nursery is based on a 20’ refrigerated shipping container platform that has been optimized to rear twice the seedstring the original system did using half  the footprint, half  the labor, and a third of the energy. This course provides the steps we took and our considerations for the most current iteration of GreenWave’s nursery. Our goals included establishing innovative solutions to current industry roadblocks, and producing quality seed for reliable crops while reducing the operational complexity and unit cost of seed propagation.
