A Native American tribe in North Dakota is planning a sprawling greenhouse complex on its reservation. The first of four planned phases of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation's project is set to be completed next February. The complex will be among the largest greenhouses in the U.S.
This aerial photo shows the first phase of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation’s Native Green Grow greenhouse operation on May 15, 2024, near Parshall, N.D. The greenhouse is planned for growing large quantities of leafy greens and vine crops for exports, distribution on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, to other tribes in neighboring states and food banks for isolated and impoverished areas.
The tribe will spend roughly $76 million on the initial phase, which also will includes a warehouse and other facilities near the tiny town of Parshall. It plans to add to the growing space in the coming years, eventually totaling about 14.5 acres , which officials say would make it one of the world’s largest facilities of its type.
Initially, the MHA Nation expects to grow nearly 2 million pounds of food a year and for that to eventually increase to 12 to 15 million pounds annually. Fox said the operation’s first phase will create 30 to 35 jobs.Supply chain disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic led tribes nationwide to use federal coronavirus aid to invest in food systems, including underground greenhouses in South Dakota to feed the local community, said Heather Dawn Thompson, director of the U.S.
Flaring, in which natural gas is burned off from pipes that emerge from the ground, has been a longtime issue in the No. 3 oil-producing state.
