Default Fresher than fresh

Interesting article on Texas Standard radio.

Central Market (Dallas) has begun using a "container farm" to produce produce that is fresher than farm fresh. This is a 53' shipping container behind the store that contains micro-controlled grow environments. LED light, rock wool "soil", controlled temps and even atmospheric gas ratios.

Here's a link to the radio story: http://www.texasstandard.org/stories...ng-containers/

Here's a link to a story in Dallas Morning News: https://www.dallasnews.com/business/...d-behind-store
