Outer Edge Farms Partners with Harris Organics
In a significant move for the agricultural technology sector, Outer Edge Farms, located in Salinas, California, has officially joined forces with Harris Organics LLC, effective December 2024. Adam Cattani, the owner of Outer Edge Farms, was notably impressed by the cutting-edge technology and profitability afforded by the OmniGro and ShroomGro indoor growing systems, prompting him to become part of this innovative team.
With over two decades of experience in the agriculture industry, Adam Cattani brings a wealth of knowledge about organic farming practices. He aims to utilize his expansive 5,500 square foot warehouse as a showroom for Harris Organics' prototypes.

No one else can offer this in the whole world!”
