Ponix MicroAg is going to the Martha’s Vineyard 161st Agricultural Society Fair!

Nothing says August on the Island quite like the Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society Fair. The fair has grown into a four day island institution. From humble origins as a single day exhibition showcasing livestock and the enterprise of everyday life, the Fair has grown into an Island institution. The token final hurrah of summer, it is the place where islanders of all ages gather to meet—and eat—in the heat.

The fair runs from Thursday, August 17 to Sunday, August 20 and is one way that 30,000 visitors wind up their summers in New England.

This year’s theme at the fair is ‘Grow it, Sew it, Show it’

With a pPod® micro-greenhouse you can Grow it Everywhere!™.

Come visit us at the Ponix MicroAg Booth 19. We will be demonstrating the many uses of the pPod® micro-greenhouse.

The pPod® is ideal for Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA): sustainably grow high-quality plants year-round, locally without the waste of long-distance shipping and refrigeration. The pPod® has a rugged all-plastic insulating design with two flexible sliding access panels that also serve to control temperature and air flow. A single pPod has a 24”x 24” base and is 32” tall. The width can be increased as much as you want using pPod Expanders. The initial EZscape™ module being offered is a durable polypropylene tray, nominally 18 inches square with a 3.25 inch planting depth. Other sizes may be available for custom installations. Ponix MicroAg has its roots going back to 2002 when its founder, Chris Wark, established SHADE Consulting and Green Roof Innovations (GRI) with his wife Wendy, developing several innovative modular eco-roof systems, including the original design for EZscape™.
