Galactic Farms is not reliant on seasonal conditions for successful operation because production is conducted in a controlled indoor environment. By utilizing energy saving technology and vertical farming methods, Galactic Farms is able to provide typically off-season produce locally, even in harsh climates. This model significantly reduces transportation costs and the associated fossil fuel consumption.

Interested parties are encouraged to view the fully functional Galactic Farms educational system at the University of Montana’s Dining Services, in the Lommasson center. This system provides the University Food Zoo kitchen with fresh herbs and greens year round. In addition, a larger demonstration system at the Galactic Farms workshop is scheduled to begin providing produce to Missoula markets in November 2015 and there are plans for expansion to a larger pilot system in spring 2016.
