The Queen Bee of Turnkey

Think outside the box and grow in it. The ZipPod is the latest innovation from ZipGrow, developed in-house to provide modernday farmers, entrepreneurs and non profit organizations with a fast and reliable community solution to food security.

We’re shortening the miles from farm to fork in urban areas and far remote plains.

At ZipGrow we believe that intent informs design; when engineers design a product it should be created for the specific outcome you want to achieve.

The ZipPod was specifically built for the task of growing lush healthy plants, it was designed to grow food fast in an environment that prioritizes plant health AND human health.

It boasts extremely space-efficient equipment including the most advanced HVAC unit in the world (also purpose-built for CEA) and specialized plumbing that allows growers to target specific rows for flushing and irrigation.

We hesitate to call it a container as technically it’s a composite-steel customizedprefabricated building, but try saying that 3 times fast! So we’ll stick with purposebuilt container. Its purpose: to increase food security to local communities by delivering perfect produce all year-round.

From electrical to Co2 monitoring to reverse osmosis, ZipGrow controls every part of the build from the first nut and bolt to the final loading on the truck, giving us maximum control over quality, providing you with a product built for longevity.

Size matters

Traditional container farms are up to 320sq ft (3040 cubic ft) in size. The ZipPod was built supersized! It’s designed to maximize usable just for plants that you’ll want to have a space with workability in mind. Plants, as efficient as they may grow (especially in a Tower system), still need people, so you want that space to be as humane and comfortable as possible. Working inside an environment that is tight and narrow doesn’t always feel awesome. space and the larger 40’ (L) x 10’ (H) x 10’ (W) container provides an additional 1500 cubic ft. That extra space amplifies growing space and also allows for taller stature crops to be grown but more importantly, it increases air circulation, one of the most critical optimizations for producing quality crop yields.

The ZipPod is a turnkey solution that prioritizes people and their working environment. We understand that mental health is a key factor to longevity in the workplace and have designed the space to allow for employees to maneuver around aisles easily and work day after day with equipment and surroundings that they feel positive about.

The ZipPod was planned and designed around years of exploration, challenging the innovation of container farms to be bigger, better, and bolder. Providing commercial farmers (new and experienced) with a system that grows food where and when you need it.

Let there be light

The LED lighting in the ZipPod offers relatively low heat output, longevity, and controlled timer settings, custom-built to our specifications. Our plants thrive in these optimized setting; it’s the same technology that our ZipFarm™ growers know and love. Did we mention size matters? And it’s not
