New GroShed will supply vegetables year round to area food shelves By Alyssa Sobotka The Globe WORTHINGTON — Nobles Cooperative Electric is going green and producing green with innovative technology that

will help stock local food pantry shelves with fresh produce year-round. The electric cooperative recently began utilizing its new hydroponic GroShed, an 8-by-12-

foot shed equipped to grow vegetables despite the frigid temperatures outside. “It’s so simple, it practically runs itself,” said NCE Member Services

Manager Tracey Haberman about the cooperative’s Living Green program. Regulated at a constant 72 degrees Fahrenheit, several lettuce varieties, tomatoes, cucumbers and

peppers are being grown in the shed since it arrived at the cooperative’s U.S. 59 home north of Worthington on Dec. 23.
