 On this week’s podcast, we are joined by entrepreneur & renaissance man Russ Finch. Russ is 89 years young and the designer, owner, & creator of the Greenhouse in the Snow. Russ has designed and perfected his greenhouse concept using low grade, geo-thermal energy in order to produce citrus, fruits, vegetables and flowers all year round in nearly any climate or locale. In creating his greenhouse concept, Restaurateurs, grocers, distillers and even hoteliers take note, Russ has developed a way to deliver sustainable, local and organic produce throughout the year wherever you're located. Think bananas from Montana!
Curious about how someone could grow oranges and lemons in Nebraska in the winter, we decided to invite Russ to join us on Every Other Thursday. The result is a conversation that will appeal to anyone who loves fresh foods, grown locally no matter how exotic – and in way that checks all the earth-friendly boxes – all for pennies a day! Have listen to what Russ has to say about his“Greenhouse in The Snow” concept!
