Bradley Schuler is a 29-year-old urban farm manager at Square Roots Kenosha’s indoor growing facility located adjacent to the Gordon Foods Service plant at 10901 38th St. Schuler was hired in late January to oversee the establishment of this 8,715-square-foot farm that operates inside 20 recycled standard shipping containers and is the largest and newest of four Square Roots farming facilities in North America.
He’ll be directing more than two dozen farmhands growing fresh herbs, salad mixes and microgreens year round to fill as many as 2.4 million packages to be delivered daily in the region to restaurants and grocery stores. The Kenosha News pulled out the Baltimore, Md. –native-turned-Kenosha-transplant from under the LED lights and into a brisk, winter drizzle where he discussed what's going on in this ground-breaking growing environment.
