GREEN VERTICAL FARMS

AN INNOVATION OF RAINMAKING INTERNATIONAL

100% ORGANICALLY GROWN VEGETABLES AND FRUITS

Page 2: Growing up in the Produce Industry- Farming organically indoors

Imagine a 365-day growing season without droughts, freezes or infestations

Dream of growing 6-14 times more plants in the same space as conventional

aeroponics and hydroponic farming

Farewell climate change; hello high-rise, organic vertical grow

Page 3: Growing up in the Produce Industry- Farming organically indoors

Any vegetable or fruit that grows in the ground can be grown in our pruning

baskets, organically and vertically

The science and art we utilize lowers the cost of growing and produces a better

tasting vegetable and fruit

Large buyers can create a branded product by selecting the cultivars and

reproducing the same plant through selected seed and cuttings

Our system utilizes all natural products; no GMO, pesticides or chemicals

Page 4: Growing up in the Produce Industry- Farming organically indoors

We are often asked what the magic is in our “Disruptive Suite of Farming Technologies”

Here are some of the integrated technology we utilize.

Organic farming is crop or stock farming, where only natural

fertilizers, pesticides, and nutritional supplements are used

Hormones and synthetic chemicals are not used, at all. Organic

farming, to be profitable, must include soils with enhanced

biological activity, determined by the humus level, crumb

structure and feeder root development, so that plants are fed

through the soil ecosystem and not primarily through soluble

fertilizers added to the soil.

First it’s space Utilization: Fit the same amount of plants in 8 square feet as you can in 80 square feet and do it with more efficient and effective lighting

All of those plants fit on 2 poles which take up 8 square feet. Less real estate and more production is a key to our magic. We grow 6-14 times more in the same space others grow

By way of comparison -Pepper Plants

Second, self contained watering and feeding system that grow significantly more, vertically. Very little water is used or wasted.

Page 7: Growing up in the Produce Industry- Farming organically indoors

It’s really this simple

Composted fertilizer, add water, Grow

Page 8: Growing up in the Produce Industry- Farming organically indoors

Water from Humidity- In any environment where there are numerous plants growing,

humidity is present. We can reduce the humidity and create up to 300 gallons of water per

day per machine. This patented system produces a supercharged oxygenated water that

we use to water the plants and bottle to sell the cleanest, freshest water on earth.

Our mission is to serve the underserved; Special needs people, wounded veterans and others that are generally unemployed.

Growing organically produces a better tasting product

Our FlexPods’ air pruning bags are filled with 100% organic potting soil and fed water.

Soil Information

Since the dawn of time people have understood that some soils produce better tasting produce than other soils.

This is still the case.

We custom blend soils onsite to produce plants that are extraordinarily good tasting.

Perhaps it’s the clays or the humic acids or the charcoals or the manures - whatever it is we can produce remarkably similar blends that

are unique.

We find the discussion of whether pumping synthetic chemicals to plants as opposed to growing in soil and providing water silly

because we understand how plant root systems interact with the microbes, bacteria, enzymes and fungi found in soil and not found in

synthetic chemicals.

If you want stronger, healthier and better tasting plants - go organic - there is simply no real replacement for Mother Nature.

Growing Organically for Superior Taste

MJflexPods Pots (bags) 8 oz. geo textile fabric. Keeps the root zone cooler, air prunes the roots - forces secondary and tertiary root growth that increases

yield and overall plant health. Bags are flexible making it impossible for root crops to break the bag

Bags have an outer loop which makes it possible to create additional support structures for plants

How does the Grow Bag work?• Grow Bags are manufactured out of a custom, non-woven, polypropylene material that research discovered has important and

unique horticultural applications• As roots grow they soon reach the container walls• In hard sided, plastic containers, these roots immediately start circling and continue to circle; Circling roots can never give

optimum growth.Grow Bags are manufactured out of a tough, porous fabric. When roots reach the side of the Grow Bag, they Air Prune!

What is air pruning?• Natural process occurring when a root comes in contact with the air on the side of the porous Grow Bag wall• Root tip stops growing (pruned) and causes the remaining root to extensively branch• Now, instead of fewer circling roots, the plant develops new lateral roots• New, fibrous roots fill the Grow Bag allowing the plant to maximize uptake of both moisture and nutrients• When the roots grow well, the plant grows well• Upon comparison, root systems that developed in a Grow Bag have a much greater mass or volume then those found in hard-sided

plastic containers• Plants grown in Grow Bags have greater root mass in less soil.

Selection of crops. Anything that grows in the ground grows in our soil

One of our collaborative managing members are approved by

Chipotle farms and about to be approved for two others for Organic

growing and food safety

Our System is a closed loop growing system. We use as few middle men as possible, unplug from the utilities as much as possible all in the goal of keeping costs low and growing 100% Organic. No GMO or pesticides/chemicals

VermicultureEarthworms function as natural bioreactors. The technique

yields organic fertilizers, permits safe disposal of certain organic

wastes and reduces the requirement for landfilling.

System Advantages

The process is odorless

The end product - Vermicast is odorless, smelling like

fresh soil

Vermicast has a high market value as a fertilizer or soil

conditioner

Green waste is converted into an enhanced, value-

added product

The leachate produced is a valuable nutrient source

Worm Tea is a valuable all natural pesticide/fertilizer

The process is pollution free

When compared with soil, worm casts also contain:5

times more nitrogen; 7 times more phosphorus;

1.5 times the calcium; 11 times more potassium

3 times more exchangeable magnesium

Page 20: Growing up in the Produce Industry- Farming organically indoors

Batch Flow Organic Waste Composters

Almost any organic material can be composted-- odor free!

Food residuals, horse manure, mortalities from livestock operations, and sewage

Sludge can all be turned into valuable compost using our rotary composter!

From backyard composting to Municipalities, the Rotary Composter can make

composting efforts payoff with a quality compost, produced in just a few days!

Our Rotary Composter costs 30-60% less to own and operate than paying to have

waste taken away in a dumpster/roll off container.

Page 21: Growing up in the Produce Industry- Farming organically indoors

FERTILIZER BREWING

Make compost or worm tea in brewers for a 100% liquid fertilizer and ward off the bugs.

No Pesticides Permitted

To operate a hydroponics or aeroponics system it takes a lot of chemicals and a fairly intense operating system for those chemicals.

Our system utilizes no chemicals or elaborate mixing systems

UNPLUG FROM THE ENERGY GRID• We can turn plant waste into

biogas with an anaerobic

digestion system- and create

our own energy

• Use the fertilizer to grow crops

• Zero Emission System

• Highly energy efficient

We have other technologies such as turning humidity into a special oxidized water up to 300 gallons of drinking water per day per machine. When droughts occur, water is not a problem and when using 90% less the need for water is reduced

Sitting on empty real estate

• Costs a company a fortune

• Costs the community money in lost taxes

• Costs a company in reputational risk

• Is Unproductive

RainMaking has the technology to turn this into a very productive opportunityWe can control mother nature• Energy efficient
