Foliaj Farms selects Sollum's Dynamic LED Solution

Foliaj Farms, led by first-time grower Bill Reece, has chosen Sollum Technologies' dynamic LED lighting solution to power his new indoor farming operation in Muncie, Indiana, USA. Focused on growing leafy greens such as lettuce, kale, and herbs, Foliaj’s large-scale warehouse will leverage Sollum's advanced lighting technology to optimize plant growth in a fully controlled environment.

“We’re excited to see Foliaj Farms adopt our solution,” said Matthew Bonavita, Sollum’s Vice President of Sales. “Bill’s commitment to growing a variety of crops in an efficient and sustainable way aligns perfectly with what our dynamic lighting offers. We’re confident that Sollum’s technology will help Foliaj Farms meet its production goals, both now and in the future.”

What initially drew Bill to Sollum was the exceptional flexibility offered by Sollum’s SUN as a Service® (SUNaaS®) cloud platform, especially with regards to its multi-zoning capabilities that allow each production zone to benefit from a custom dynamic light recipe. As Bill plans to diversify his crops, the ability to tailor light spectrums and intensity to suit each one was a key factor in his decision.

Another factor in Bill’s decision to adopt Sollum's solution was his desire to provide healthier and more affordable food options to his local community, where limited access to fresh produce has many relying on fast food due to the lack of alternatives. “This project isn’t just about farming, it’s about making healthy, pesticide-free produce accessible to people who need it the most,” Bill said. “Sollum’s technology allows me to apply the best lighting to each crop, ensuring optimal growth and making our vision a reality.  We tested and reviewed a number of lighting solutions and Sollum offered a far superior option for us.”
