Location: Saint Paris, Ohio
Crops: Lettuce, Herbs, Microgreens
Luminaire: NXT-LP
Reflector: Alpha
Located in Saint Paris, Ohio, Old Souls Farms grows specialty greens year-round with the aid of the NXT-LP with Alpha reflector. Given the shorter periods of daylight in the Fall, Winter and early Spring seasons in Ohio, Old Souls Farms was looking for a luminaire that would extend the day length and provide the required light quantity to grow high quality crops year round. Lettuces require at least 14 hours of light a day to reach optimum quality, and thus require a high efficiency luminaire to supplement daylight for year-round production. Even though greens are a cool weather crop, giving them a higher DLI (daily light integral) than would be provided by the sun during the winter months allows for a quicker crop turn around allowing the grower to be able to grow and sell more greens in one year.
Specializing in grow-to-order, Old Souls Farms depends on technologies and environmental systems within its greenhouse, including the NXT-LP with Alpha reflector, to maximize yield and maintain the highest quality. Designed for low-ceiling environments, the NXT-LP with Alpha reflector delivers a wide field of illumination evenly across the surface of the crop. This allows Old Souls Farms to maintain optimal light levels with fewer luminaires resulting in higher overall efficiencies.
