Energy company plans indoor agriculture facility for Estevan, Canada
The newly launched company Evolution Growers yesterday presented its indoor 200,000 sq. foot agricultural facility based in Estevan, SK. "Not your ordinary greenhouse, this facility addresses food insecurity issues by producing Saskatchewan grown vegetables, fruits and trees to our existing supply chains," they say.
It will start with a $20 to 30 million investment and the new greenhouse company is a subsidiary of Tomahawk Energy Services. The intention is to break ground in spring 2021 and hopefully the first phase will be built by early 2022.
"This project was always going to be part of our diversity within the Tomahawk umbrella and I think the timing of this has hit spot on the right time," Tomahawk CEO Derrick Big Eagle shares. "With great interest shown by the City of Estevan, we are very happy to be welcomed to the city with open arms and excited to be part of their diversity initiative they are working on for the people of Estevan."
