Aquabanq's collaboration with the Hampshire County Development Authority on shrimp farming fosters economic growth and job opportunities in rural West Virginia.

Sheridan, WY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/25/2023 -- Aquabanq, a controlled-environment aquaculture company, has acquired land in the Capon Bridge Technology and Business Park, located in Hampshire County, West Virginia, for a multimillion-dollar shrimp project.

The land acquisition in Hampshire County marks the initial phase of the company's long-term plan, which involves constructing state-of-the-art production facilities and a shrimp processing plant in the business park. These facilities will supply consumers in West Virginia and surrounding states, including the Washington, D.C. metro area, with high-quality, non-GMO, U.S.-raised shrimp—all while creating employment opportunities across various sectors for local residents and promoting economic growth.

Phase I of the project will commence with the construction of two farming units, capable of producing a combined total of 550,000 pounds of shrimp annually, with a total investment of $8 million.

Phase II encompasses the subsequent expansion of production capacities and the initiation of on-site processing, accompanied by an additional investment exceeding $22 million.

This project is a significant investment in the primarily rural economy of Hampshire County and demonstrates Aquabanq's commitment to improving the quality of life for the people of West Virginia. The shrimp farming facilities will also play a crucial role in bringing much-needed, long-lasting economic growth.

AJ Shapiro, CEO and Co-Founder of Aquabanq, shares: "We're delighted to build our shrimp production plant in Hampshire County, West Virginia, where we'll not only generate jobs and expand our business but also actively engage with the community. We extend our special gratitude to the Hampshire County Development Authority, its President, Greg Bohrer, the Executive Director, Eileen M. Johnson, Vice-President, Rebecca Hott, and the members of the board for their invaluable assistance in taking the first step towards our common goal."

About Aquabanq:
Aquabanq is an aquaculture business that focuses on sustainable, domestic seafood production with an emphasis on food safety. The company raises shrimp in controlled-environment facilities close to markets, which reduces its CO2 footprint, and uses zero-liquid discharge recirculating aquaculture systems, which fully separate aquaculture from the surrounding environment.

EscapeMaker is offering 200 all-access passes (7+ hours of education) for their agritourism training platform to farmers, innkeepers and local travel destinations for a $1 or a Name-Your-Price contribution to help them prepare for when the public can travel again.

Brooklyn, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/28/2020 -- EscapeMaker, a consumer online resource for local farm, food and beverage getaways within a day's drive or train ride from New York City since 2000, just launched "$1 or Name-Your-Price" pricing for the first 200 farmers or local travel destinations to sign up for its agritourism training series on its B2B site: http://www.EscapeMaker.biz.

The EscapeMaker Virtual Agritourism Training" (EVAT) series, presented by EscapeMaker and Fulton Stall Market, is not only the first-of-its-kind digital training focusing on the intersection of the tourism and agriculture industries (agritourism), but also is produced solely by women - 30% of whom are certified as an M/WBE (Minority Women-Owned Business Enterprise), including EscapeMaker.

The all-women led webinar series consists of 12 presentations, each 25-45 minutes long with topics ranging from legal and liability issues, marketing, social media, and hosting workshops, to adding lodging to a farm and making green eco-friendly on-site improvements – all topics focus on increasing revenue via agritourism i.e. inviting the public to visit on-site for pick-your-own fruit days, farm tours, wine trails, harvest festivals, craft beverage tastings, overnight getaway packages, farm-to-table events, etc.

During the COVID-19 pandemic period of uncertainty, farmers and small business owners nationwide have had to cut expenses, lay off employees, employ technology and shift sails to keep their doors open or get their goods to customers and farmer's markets. This is an ideal time as everyone waits for the travel restrictions to lift to upgrade one's skills and plan for recovery through agritourism sales.

Since there's always a risk of external factors affecting a business' bottom line, whether it be changing consumer tastes and trends, weather emergencies, or a global crisis, the on-demand webinar series is a primer for entrepreneurs who want to be armed with the know-how and savvy to survive and thrive in the changing landscape. The farmers, innkeepers, winemakers, craft beverage producers, and other ag-related destinations that survive the coming recession are those who will capitalize on their new knowledge to make up for lost revenue as a result of the pandemic.

"Local travel will come back eventually but the COVID-19 pandemic is a perfect example of why it is imperative that everyone, especially a farmer, diversifies their income stream for leaner times," says Caylin Sanders, Founder & CEO of EscapeMaker.com. "Knowing all too well that so many farmers and small business owners are experiencing catastrophic financial losses at this time, we have decided to deeply discount our full access pass so they can view the entire 12-part series," says Sanders. With over 7 hours of education, the webinar series is designed so that an attendee can watch at their own pace.

Sanders also comments "Escapemaker is a local travel promoter, local tour operator and tasting event production company – a triple whammy when it comes to banned activities right now, but we recognize that if we don't keep our farm, food and beverage and women-owned business partners in business, we don't have a business."

Through June 2020, their EscapeMaker.biz site is offering 200 all-access passes, which normally retail for $249 each, at $1 or whatever a person can afford, keeping in mind that all the women expert and farmer speakers on the platform share in the profits and/or promotion for their organizations.

Fourteen female industry experts with extraordinary resumes and decades of experience have come together to share insider tips, trends, and best practices for preparing a business to capitalize on a rapidly changing travel landscape and to meet the demands of leisure, group, event, and corporate travel markets.

Supporters Stand in Unison for Equity Before Profits in Cambridge

Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/11/2019 -- The community gathered at the Democracy Center last week to boycott Revolutionary Clinics for filing a lawsuit against the City of Cambridge regarding the recent passing of the Cambridge social equity ordinance. Read reflections from local entrepreneurs, cultivators, equity proponents including Councilor Zondervan, co-author of the Cambridge Equity Ordinance, as they stood in solidarity for the lawsuit to be dropped and equity placed before profits :

Quinton Zondervan, Cambridge City Councilor, Co-author of the Cambridge Equity Ordinance
"It's really inspiring what you all are doing here. I'm just honored that I got to play a small part in that. But we did our part and passed the law, now the rest is up to you to keep fighting for it, right?...And we'll be there at city hall supporting you every step of the way."

Joseph Gilmore, President of Massachusetts Recreational Consumer Council
"Rev Clinics acts as if this social equity ordinance holding them up for two years is going to devastate them, but we see how much money these dispensaries are making, millions and millions of dollars. We are drawing the line with anyone that is going to put their profits over equity. And that goes for the rest and every other dispensary. This conversation doesn't stop with Rev Clinics. We need to see some real tangible commitments towards social equity from organizations like "Commonwealth Dispensary Association."

Richard Harding, Co-Founder of R.A.C.E
"I respect so much the work of Councilor Zondervan and Siddiqui. Cambridge has become ground zero in the fight for equity across the country. It is the biggest civil rights issue of our lifetime. It is an opportunity to create generational and institutional wealth within the black community. The outcome of the suit will become case law and will set a spark that will be felt throughout the industry. We need moratoriums to be imposed across the country in every community that was affected by the war on drugs."

Kate Phillips, Director of Education C3RN
"I'm really tired of seeing the demographic of people who consume not represented in the people who own these companies. Working with a lot of these old white men who own all these companies can be really hard to get them to care about education to get them to care about why it's important. Education is important because it gives empowerment. It takes power away from people that try to hold all of this and make it seem like you can't learn what they do. Yeah, you can!"

Grant Smith, Disabled Medical Patient
"Now that Cambridge has gone forward with this period, and now that they've won the first and what will hopefully be the first of many legal victories upholding the legitimacy of this ordinance, it sets the groundwork to take these kind of priority periods statewide into every other local city and town. And it is absolutely a revolutionary step that Cambridge took."

Viondy Merisma, CEO of The Green Torch
"The state said that Waltham wasn't destroyed by the war on drugs...You can't tell me that I wasn't impacted. The best about it is that the (Waltham) city council agreed and voted yes on the ordinance with a 12-2 vote...And I really do want to thank Cambridge for sure, Councilor Kathleen McMenimen…was the one saying "hey Cambridge is doing this, perhaps we should be looking at this."

Joseph Raymond, Founder/Director of NECCA
"Let's remember one thing: they only care about their bottom line. So the equity that they tout is only promotion to get them what they need and then it's back to the drawing board: what's best for the stockholders/shareholders. These are predators that smell blood."

Ed DeSousa, CEO of RiverRun Gardens
"Let's face it, hundreds of millions of dollars have been made from the legal Massachusetts market and this will continue to increase as stigma fades. Stand with small businesses, stand with equity applicants and vote with your dollars."

Mike Crawford, Radio Host of Young Jurks/Former President of MASSCANN
"You'll never see Young Jurks (interview them), unless they drop this lawsuit, unless they fund the social equity, they need to step up. But long term, we got long memory. I've been here 20yrs and I'm going to be here another 20 yrs. And we're not going to forget. We want to have craft. I want to support good (local) business. I don't want to have to go to big business."

Saskia James, Cambridge Resident, Equity Advocate
"We have to think more radical on how we want the industry to look like and how we want it to feel and to honor that. And people like Revolutionary Clinics are not doing that. That's not the plant that's being sold to you, that's not the treatment that the patients are saying they are receiving when they go, that they can barely afford/have access to it . That's hoarding!"

Amsterdam, Netherlands -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/21/2018 -- Global Vertical Farming Market: CO2 impacts

The agricultural sector emits around six billion tonnes of Greenhouse Gasses (GHGs) in 2011 or about 13% of total global emissions. The agricultural sector is the world's largest emitter, after the energy sector. (Russell, 2014)

The report sets out a comparative life cycle assessment in five different agricultural systems from farm to distribution center for lettuce production. It demonstrates the potential of green vertical farming in mitigation and resilience of food production focusing on the CO2 emissions and resource use efficiency of different agricultural methods: green vertical farming, conventional vertical farming, advanced greenhouse, conventional greenhouse and open field agriculture. ¬¬

The emission reduction from energy use improvements, renewable energy sources and full recycling of waste energy is at the core of the sustainable development solution in vertical farming. This represents up to 98% of total emission reductions to around 160 kgCO2eq for each ton of harvested lettuce as compared to 540 kgCO2eq for open field agriculture.

Manheim, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/14/2018 -- Kreider Farms, Lancaster County's favorite producer of udderly delicious milk and bottled drinks, ice cream, premium eggs, and more, is excited to announce that its products will now be available at Giant Food Stores in Central Pennsylvania. This expansion comes as part of Kreider Farms' intentional growth strategy for its dairy business, which included a $5 million investment in generating new production capacity, completed in 2017.

"The commitment and the investments we have made into our dairy operation allow us bring the best and freshest local food products direct from our farm to consumers, which is why more and more customers are asking for our products every day," said President and CEO, Ron Kreider.

While Central PA farmers have been struggling with the recent "dairy crisis" in the Commonwealth and beyond, Kreider Farms has met the challenge of lower demand for fluid milk through smart diversification of their product line. This has gained the attention of influential grocery retailers like Giant, who are becoming more committed to selling local, farm-fresh products all the time through programs like PA Preferred, which helps facilitate partnerships between farmers and retail outlets.

Also attractive to Giant is Kreider Farms' commitment to local, sustainable production. "Our point of differentiation is the fact that we're a real local farm," said Dave Andrews, V.P. Sales & Marketing. "We're bringing authenticity back into the grocery store."

Ottawa, ON -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/17/2018 -- Garlic is one of the most popular seasonings in foods all over the world. Unfortunately, most of the garlic that is sold in American and Canadian markets is imported and of poor quality because that garlic is often grown in fields where raw human waste is used to fertilize the soil. In addition to that, the farmers spray the garlic plants with harmful chemicals, pesticides and preservatives to increase production and shelf-life. All of those unwanted contaminants then make it into the food when the garlic is used for cooking.

Forest Cove Farm aims to change this with the introduction of its newest crop: virgin garlic. The farm's location in the forests of Laurentian Hills, Ontario, provides easy access to virgin soil, or soil that has never been farmed before. This is the richest soil available and imparts the most nutrients into the growing plants.

Garlic is well-known for its health properties, including the ability to reduce inflammation, high quantities of antioxidants, and antibiotic capabilities. The bulb also helps to boost the immune system, helping the body fight off a variety of common ailments. Not only that, but it is delicious in a wide range of cuisine styles as well.

Forest Cove Farm's garlic is "beyond organic." In addition to growing the crop in virgin soil, the farmers use no pesticides in the fields and they do not apply any preservatives to help the harvested crop last longer. Because of its purity, virgin garlic is a living herb that maintains a shelf-life of up to 10 months.

The first crop of virgin garlic is already growing and will be ready for harvest soon. Forest Cove Farm is currently accepting pre-orders for virgin garlic through a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. The campaign has a funding goal of $11,401, which it must reach by August 13.

Starting at contributions of just $52, campaign backers can be among the first to receive virgin garlic once it has been harvested. Once the first 50 rewards at this price level have been claimed, the Kickstarter price will go up to $60. Other rewards include garlic cookbooks and all-natural soaps.

The Forest Cove Farm team will harvest the virgin garlic in mid-August. Then the garlic gets cured for 4-5 weeks before it is ready for shipment. They plan to ship rewards to backers in October, 2018.

Atlanta, GA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/24/2018 -- Bamboo is incredibly popular in home and garden design, thanks to its durability and beauty. The "Purpose" behind their design is to donate profits from the sale of each planter to provide 20 meals with major food relief organizations. With every 100 planters sold 2000 meals will be provided through the company.

Frank and Jennifer Simotics, the creators of Planters with a Purpose, have designed stunning planters made from bamboo. Each planter is made from a single stalk of bamboo with several holes placed throughout, where gardeners can grow herbs, flowers or just about anything in small spaces. Currently, the brand offers two sizes: triple and quad planters. Each planter can accommodate an additional plant at the top of the tower as well.

The company takes great care in choosing the bamboo to harvest to construct the planters. For now, all of the bamboo Planters with a Purpose are sourced from China, but it has secured an additional source in Colombia in case the demand outpaces the production capabilities in China. The company has outlined specific criteria with regards to the height, diameter and age of the bamboo to ensure that it is harvested in a sustainable manner.

These specifications also ensure adequate quality control. Because the planters are made from a natural material, each one is one of a kind. The planters average 4-5" in diameter and 36-48" tall.

Once the bamboo has been harvested, it is then dried so that it hardens, giving it lasting durability. Insect treatment and UV-resistant coating add to the durability, keeping the planter looking its best over the years.

Planters with a Purpose has already obtained a patent for the product and is ready to begin production. To fund the initial mass production run, the creators are launching a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter on May 30th, 2018.

Campaign backers will be rewarded for their contributions with a series of prizes, depending on the amount of their pledge. The company is offering pre sales of their exclusive planters. Backers can get triple or quad planters for $49 and $59, respectively. Higher contributions earn packages containing multiple planters for community gardens. The company aims to begin shipping planters out to customers in the United States in July 2018.

Three male alpacas from north Georgia alpaca farm Apple Mountain Alpacas will suit up to show up at the Atlanta Zoo come May.

Clarkesville, GA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/30/2018 -- Thanks to Apple Mountain Alpacas, the Atlanta Zoo is about to get three new "animal neighbors" for their Orkin Children's Zoo central habitat. Making the trip the week of May 7th, Tuscany, Warrior, and Smurf will both delight and educate crowds all the way through the holidays. The all-male trio's new home will sit adjacent to the location's petting zoo and create a buzz about the Huacaya breed for visitors of all ages. Related to llamas, the docile animals are South American domesticated members of the camelid family. Now, they're ready to be a show stopper.

Jay Reeder, the owner of Apple Mountain Alpacas and a former President of the Southeastern Alpaca Association, said of the new partnership, "These three alpacas are the perfect age to make the trek to Atlanta. Their personalities are so approachable. We believe they'll fit right in and entertain crowds in a way only they can. They're gentle, interesting, and just plain fun. We couldn't be happier to link arms with the Atlanta Zoo to bring such a special exhibit to so many."

Run by Jay and his wife Melissa, the Clarkesville farm typically houses more than twenty alpacas. Dedicated to breeding with the highest quality, the farm imports the best genetics from around the country to improve their herd and impact herds throughout the Southeast. To that end, all methods used on the farm are modeled after the ancient traditions of great Peruvian alpaca herds.

Approachable in their own right, agritourism is encouraged with both public and private alpaca farm tours. Apple Mountain Alpacas also offers classes to inspire and educate their visitors. Having created a consumer-friendly environment, the property's fiber farming is used to create home products and softer-than-cashmere wearables sold on their website. Georgia alpacas are for sale on the website also.

Additional Information

About Alpacas
Alpacas, cousins to the llama, are beautiful, intelligent animals native to the Andean Mountain range of South America, particularly Peru, Bolivia and Chile.

Today, the United States boasts two types of alpacas. Although almost physically identical, the two types of alpacas are distinguished by their fleece. The huacaya (wa-Ki'-ah) is the more common of the two and has a fluffy, extremely fine coat. On the other hand, the suri (SUR-ee) is more rare and has fleece that is silky and resembles pencil-locks.

Adult alpacas stand at approximately 36 inches at the withers and generally weigh between 150 and 200 pounds. They do not have horns, hooves, claws or incisors. Alpacas are alert, intelligent, curious and predictable. Social animals that seek companionship, they communicate most commonly by softly humming.

About Alpaca Fleece
Alpacas are shorn, without harm, every twelve to eighteen months. Each alpaca can produce five to ten pounds of luxurious fleece. Long ago, this fleece was reserved for royalty. Today, it is purchased in its raw fleece form by hand-spinners and fiber artists, while knitters buy it as yarn.

Because of its soft texture, alpaca fleece is sometimes compared to cashmere. The fleece also has the luster of silk, making it even more coveted. Alpaca is just as warm as wool, yet it is a mere 1/3 the weight. It comes in 16 natural colors and can be dyed any desired shade.

Containing no lanolin, alpaca fleece is also naturally hypoallergenic. Most people who are sensitive to wool find that they can wear alpaca without the itching or irritation they feel from wool because alpaca fleece is smooth. Additional performance characteristics include: stretch, water repellency and odor reduction. For travelers, clothing made from alpaca is desirable because it is wrinkle-resistant.

Compared with an ordinary hydroponic kit, KANA-chan uses the largest source of energy on the earth, which is sunlight, and has an oxygen circulation system, creating the ideal environment for plants. Therefore, KANA-chan has 3 to 4 times of crop yield with double the growing speed (*). Anyone can easily cultivate not only leafy vegetables but also large vegetables and fruits at home.

Sumida-ku, Tokyo -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/07/2018 -- Versailles Trading Corporation (Tokyo, Japan), which specializes in exporting Japanese popular products to overseas, is now promoting Hydroponic Oxygen System, KANA-chan on Kickstarter from February 7th, 2018. KANA-chan is a hydroponic cultivation kit that can grow vegetables and fruits without soil by using the original oxygen circulation system. It has a history of over 40 years among professional Japanese farmers and BtoB market, and now it will be converted for home use.

The liquid fertilizer circulates while oxygen is being added to keep the roots constantly fresh so the roots can grow maximally, so KANA-chan has 3 to 4 times of crop yield with double the growing speed than soil cultivation (*). It is also safe without the use of pesticides, so it is more natural and healthier. Versailles Trading Corporation challenged this campaign to spread this innovative technology to the world so that everyone in the world can easily access fresh and safer vegetables and fruits in their homes.

Japan's Cutting-edge Hydroponic Oxygen System "KANA-chan" Now launched on Kickstarter.

KANA-chan has been used by over 2,000 farmers, schools, research facilities, welfare facilities etc. throughout Japan. With Hydroponic Oxygen System, oxygen diffuses into water in the process of circulation to support the breathing of the roots. Also, by giving a flow to the system, oxygen molecules and fertilizer ions contact a lot, creating the ideal environment for plants. Therefore, KANA-chan has 3 to 4 times of crop yield with double the growing speed than soil cultivation (*)

Almost no companies in the world create hydroponic cultivation with an oxygen circulation system for home use, keeping the roots of the crops in the best condition.

All started from the price rise of fruits and vegetables.

Discover the joy of growing fresh crops at home and eating them.

In recent years, the price of fruits and vegetables has been rising up year by year, and many people cannot access to the fresh crops for economic reasons and geographical reasons. Hydroponic cultivation can be one of the solutions to that but it had two problems in the past.

First, LED does not have a powerful capability of growing food meaning only small leafy vegetables can be grown. Another reason is that maintenance is tiresome. As oxygen and water do not circulate, the roots of the plants can be rotten, which causes mosquitoes and small insects. Without pest control, it would cause chaos.

KANA-chan solved all of the issues for home gardening. KANA-chan uses the largest source of energy on the earth, which is sunlight, and has an oxygen circulation system, creating the ideal environment for plants. Therefore, KANA-chan has 3 to 4 times of crop yield with double the growing speed (*).

It is also safe without the use of pesticides. Anyone can easily grow not only leafy vegetables but also large vegetables and fruits, such as tomatoes, broccoli, bell peppers, zucchinis, pumpkins, melons and watermelons. KANA-chan makes it easy for anyone to grow sweet and nutritious vegetables and fruits at home.

During the International Exposition, Tsukuba, Japan in 1985, Hydroponic Oxygen System was first introduced to the public and the Japanese Emperor of that time also visited and saw this. Kyowa Co., Ltd achieved about 17,000 tomatoes from one seed of tomato grown by this innovative system so far.
