Spacesaver helps an urban farm gain 30% more space 

A Manhattan entrepreneur has devised a creative way to supply urban chefs with premium ingredients: he has transformed a restaurant basement into a thriving hydroponic herb-growing business.

He worked with the Manhattan-based Spacesaver distributor to design an ActivRAC® Mobilized Storage System layout that would maximize the available space. “It gave us about 30 percent more space in the room, which is obviously a really big deal for us,” he said. “It’s a beautiful piece of engineering.”

His enterprise, called Farm.One, grows between 100 to 200 different varieties of high-value herbs and microgreens year-round.

Please note: ActivRAC is available in stainless steel, which is recommended for humid environments.
