We founded Clean Energy Greenhouses, SPC, a for-profit social-purpose corporation, with a clear vision: To empower small family farms through innovation and sustainable agriculture. As an SPC, we're a for-profit company free to pursue social and environmental goals alongside shareholder value, rather than being bound to focus almost entirely on the bottom line. 

 

Our journey began in 2017, driven by a commitment to help address the pressures reshaping modern farming, including climate-induced water shortages, shrinking arable land, the resulting food insecurity, and agriculture's own environmental footprint. We built and tested prototype solar-powered greenhouses and continued to experiment. Progress slowed during the pandemic, but the problems we set out to help solve only intensified.

 

Today, by commercializing our work, Clean Energy Greenhouses, SPC plans to contribute to Climate-Smart Agriculture by focusing on Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). That is,  growing organic foods in protected, resource-efficient passive solar greenhouses. That mission is exactly why our corporate structure matters: In agriculture, long-term sustainability goals can collide with short-term earnings pressure. Our SPC status ensures that our commitment to resource efficiency and small-farm profitability endures, even if leadership changes or our company goes public.

 

By offering systems that integrate clean energy greenhouses with aquaponics, vertical hydroponics, permaculture, and automation, we offer one of several blueprints for the future of farming, a future where productivity and profitability meets stewardship and ecological responsibility.
