The purpose of this company is to reverse the accelerating food problems in the food deserts across the United States by providing a combination of grocery stores / micro-farms within a hyperlocal model supported by a hub operation within very close proximity. This solution is of interest to investors because it provides a simple solution to a widespread problem that has only become worsened by the recent pandemic. We have the added advantage over our competition because we will have nearly no utility expenses because we will generate our own hydrogen to be used to generate electricity, air conditioning, heat, and fuel for all our delivery vehicles.
