In Alert, Nunavut — the northernmost continuously inhabited place on Earth, just 817 km from the North Pole — winter brings 24-hour darkness and temperatures below -30°C. Fresh food is typically flown in, but flights are often delayed for weeks, leaving residents without produce.

To reduce this dependency, Molly Farquhar launched The C.A.N. (Continuous Alert Nourishment) — a hydroponic vertical farm built inside a renovated shipping container.

Reinfa has released a smart vertical farming shipping container, offering a complete, ready-to-use farming solution that fits inside either a 20ft or 40ft container. Built for urban farmers, retailers, restaurants, and agri-entrepreneurs, this system makes it possible to grow fresh, sustainable, and pesticide-free produce anytime, anywhere.

The Reinfa farm is designed as a plug-and-grow system, fully equipped with hydroponic and aeroponic racks that are easy to operate. Its multi-layer growing capability allows for single or multiple vertical racks, maximizing harvests within a compact footprint.
