Miami Beach, Fla.—There was
an indoor farm at the 20th Americas Food & Beverage Show.
Located at the front of the Miami Beach Convention Center’s main hall, the
double rowed, raised bed farm of many produce items took two days to erect. The
staff of Nickey Gregory Company, LLC wanted to stand out from the other produce
vendors at the show.

and enormous pumpkins surrounded their vegetable rows.

At then end of the show,
they offered up the produce to show attendees because they did not want to haul
it back home. It took seconds for the display to be dismantled according to a
neighboring company stall.
“You should have seen the
frenzy of activity when the stall was dismantled, everything was gone in
seconds.”
What was left over went to a local food bank in Miami-Dade County.
