Winter Break

Hey guys! 

     Sorry that it's been awhile, but with finals and end-of-semester preparations, I'm sure we've all been very busy ... and are in need of a break! The time to relax and recharge is definitely needed, and the same is true for our Grow Room. 

     Maintenance is an important part of any production system, and the Green Team has found that ours could use some TLC. We have been experiencing some leakage in our drainage pipes, and are starting to have a bit of an algae problem. For this reason, we have decided to shut our entire system down for awhile so we can take care of these problems. Although it is sad to see all of these towers empty again, we know it will lead to a more productive spring semester - an investment in the future, if you will.




     HOWEVER, because it's the holiday season, we want to do our part to help our community. Chartwells will be donating our last Grow Room harvest to local food pantries to help needy students and families right here in the Ozarks. Pictured below is a portion of our harvest from this morning!


... Now that's cool! ❄️

      Hope everyone has a safe and fun break! See you in January!
