Irvine, June 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terra Tech Corp (TRTC) is pleased to announce they have begun
construction on their new five-acre hydroponic production facility
in Belvedere, New Jersey. Terra Tech has completed grading the
parcel in preparation for the assembly, beginning this month.
Upon completion the facility will be a fully automated, high
tech, commercial scale hydroponic center capable of producing some
of the cleanest, freshest and most energy efficient produce in the
Northeast. At full production and current pricing Terra Tech
expects to generate up to $10 million in revenue from the five-acre
greenhouse. The company anticipates finishing construction by
year end 2013.
"We are excited to finally begin this project. This will be our
flagship production facility and a platform for us to continue our
national expansion," said Ken Vande Vrede, COO of Terra Tech.
The five-acre structure has been delivered and is currently on site
awaiting assembly. Edible Garden plans on cultivating their current
lineup of hydroponic and potted herbs as well as introducing
several new selections of hydroponic produce including varietals of
living lettuce, kale and more.
"2013 is a year of expansion for Terra Tech and the construction of
this facility as well as its potential production and revenue is
the backbone of that growth," explains Derek Peterson, CEO of Terra
Tech. "We anticipate strong demand for our brand and are looking
forward to next year when current production boosted by our new
facility is operating in tandem with our new distribution contract
in Florida."
Edible Garden, a premier brand of local and sustainably grown produce is available at close to 400 major grocery store chains such as Shoprite, Food Emporium and others throughout New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Maryland, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. The new five-acre facility will allow Edible Garden to expand into additional markets as well as introduce new products to the market.
